Irish actor best remembered for roles in Anna Karenina, David and Bathsheba , Ten Tall Men, The League of Gentleman, Recoil, The Day They Robbed The Bank of England, The Thin Red Line (1964), The Key, The Day of the Triffids and TV series like Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). The Director, Alexander Korda, once described him as being
"Six feet two of brawn". A 1948 article described how
"He grew to be over Six feet tall and his chest measurement became forty-four inches", although in Warner Brothers publicity, he was described as "Height: 6', Weight: 185 [pounds]"

I'm not convinced by full 6ft1..in Danger Man he looked I'd say somewhere between half to three quarter inches shorter than Patrick Mcgoohan. I saw Mcgoohan 6ft1.25 and Moore 6ft0.5/0.75 range.

Full 6ft1 looks fair. Broad-shouldered and held excellent posture.

Moore's 6'0.5 listing makes Pratt's 6 ft 1 original listing look laughable, if Moore was 184, Pratt was nearer 5 ft 11! I thought there was about an inch between Moore and Michael Gothard (who looked a real 6 ft 2 with Michael Caine and others).

He does look a good couple of inches shorter than Henreid but could Paul have been a bit over 6ft3? He edged out Conrad Veidt in Casablanca

So baffling as to why Dalton would be listed at 6'1 flat and this guy at 6' flat. You can understand the downgrades for actors over 6'3 in the golden period but if he was a genuine 6'1.5 he would never have got a 6' listing.

That's a picture from Anna Karina with Vivien Leigh and Ralph Richardson on the right!! The same height?? I would ignore the 6' listing. He looked a genuine 6'1 guy I thought.
1 hr 7 with 6'3 Paul Henreid
Click Here !!
1 hr 12:34 that's a young 5'8 Lois Maxwell presumably in heels and the tall guy beyond him is 6'5 Bill Travers.

Rob, Kieron Moore was around 1.5 inches taller than Mike Pratt, remember you saw the footage of them? There's about as much chance them being the same height as Lebron being 6'9! i.ebayimg.com/images/g/DPsAAOSwumxcm8pq/s-l300 google Kieron Moore Paul Henreid, I think that's Henreid on the left.
Click Here With 6'0 Aldo Ray. Clearly taller. The 6' listing for him is baffling...

In
David and Bathsheba I think he could seem maybe 2 inches or later in another scene, closer in height to Peck, presuming same sandals...so yeah it might be how much over 6ft exactly.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Oct/19
Definitely would not have believed anything shorter than 6ft1 for this guy. There’s no way Peck and Connery were two inches taller. In fact I thought Moore looked to have the edge on Connery!
Arch Stanton said on 9/Oct/19
If he was 6ft, Mike Pratt was nearer 5'10, Peck nearer 6'1, and Connery no more than 6ft. Ridiculous.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Oct/17
I cannot accept this! 2in below Connery?
No way...
Arch Stanton said on 26/Apr/17
Well he didn't look 6'2 with William Holden...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 13/Nov/16
187-188cm zone.

I thought he looked bigger and stronger than Sean Connery in Darby O'Gill. I would have put him a six foot three, If I'd had to guess, based on that movie. The character he played was supposed to be a giant bruiser whom no sane man would fight, so he might have worn lifts in that movie to make him taller than Connery.
Adriano said on 5/Mar/16
He looked taller than 6'2'' Sean Connery in "Darby O'Gill and the Little People". Could he be at least the same height?
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Mar/15
Rob, is 188cm possible?
Editor Rob
based on what I've seen, I thin 187 range suits him.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Feb/15
He was also in Darby O'Gill & The Little People. I wonder how he faired beside a young pre-Bond Sean Connery
Arch Stanton said on 28/Feb/15
Rob can you add the Alexander Korda quote "He has a brilliant acting talent. Then he has six-feet-two of brawn, a mobile photogenic face, rich expressive eyes, and ability to adapt himself to any type of role-ultra romantic or the last word in villainy. Very soon he will be one of the big names on the world's screens." or say that Director Alexander Korda referred to him as "six feet two of brawn".
Arch Stanton said on 28/Feb/15
Rob can you squeeze in Recoil? A John Gilling film. He was in quite a few decent crime films, some I've still to see!
Arch Stanton said on 28/Feb/15
Cheers, much appreciated, you might want to correct to Anna Karenina though. Yes I think 187 is probably the best shout, wasn't much shorter than Peck in D&B and had Mike Pratt (who I've long though was 6' flat rather than 6'1) by about 1.5 inches.
