American actor and singer, known for films like The Jesse Owen Story, Full Metal Jacket, Sudden Death, Pacific Heights, Against All Odds, Panic in Echo Park, Gothika and Sparkle. In November 1975 he mentioned "Since I'm only 5 foot 11, I figured music offered me a better chance for a good future than basketball."

@ Sandy Cowell - Nice one, that is very good! I also like ROLFLFL - Roll on landing floor laughing f*a*i*g loudly!
Maybe Dorian did measure 5'11" when he was younger!

Not sure he'd measure my height as I don't know him, and haven't seen him in anything.

@ Sandy Cowell - I know, this statement afforded me a wry smirk! You are too right, 5'11" and 5'10" are tall heights for many fellas, he may feel short in front of basketball players but there are not too many of them about! I love the made up word "Basketballland", three consecutive l's!
ROLLL - Roll on landing laughing loudly!

Dorian's face looks extremely familiar, so when I saw the guy was in 'Full Metal Jacket' and the excellent and original 'Gothika', with Halle Berry, it made total sense! Of course I'll know him!
@ Nik - 'Only 5ft11..' is quite a crazy statement to make! To many women, and to some fellas, even 5ft10 is tall, so how can Dorian refer to 5ft11 with the word 'only'? Well, he was comparing himself to a basketball player, so if he'd set his sights on being one of those, and possibly hung around with the players themselves, someone of his height will feel short. How we perceive height is SO relative to the people we associate with!
Dorian gets 5ft10.25.

He says "only 5 foot 11" but it is two inches above average, Dorian must live in Basketballland!
