Rob, I’ve been watching a lot of his Wyatt Earp show recently, and each coming episode he looks more and more like a man closer to 5’11” than 6’. His extremely slim build can be deceiving.

5’11.25” I now think is even better than 5’11.5”. 5’11.75” is out for me.
Editor Rob
Yeah let's go for that figure, from looking a bit more I do now see it as quite arguable.

Good downgrade Rob, but I would still even favour 5’11.25” over 5’11.75”. 5’11.5” is right on whilst 6’ and 5’11” are out of bounds.
Editor Rob
Not as sure about 181cm for him.
Gerald S said on 27/Apr/24
Rob, can we therefore compromise on 5’11.75” for Hugh?
Editor Rob
Yeah it's workable.

Rob, O’Brian evidently cleared 5’11”, but I see him as more 5’11.5” range, not quite his advertised six foot.

5ft 11.5 looks arguable in some shots.
