He looks flat 6'2". I am struggling to believe that he 'd measure 1.5" taller from guys like these ones:

I had the pleasure of meeting Lou at the Wizard World Comic Con 2013 in Portland and i can say beyond a doubt that he is about 6'0 tall, I'm 6'2 and that day he had a pair of Sketchers on that had at least a 2 or 3 inch sole on them.
No way that he is that short.6'2" seems fine.And even Kane Hodder doesn't wear shoes with 3" sole.

[Editor Rob:
if he turns up at an event this year and doesn't cancel I will see how he looks nowadays 7 years further on]
Can´t wait :))
I fear you´ll soon have to go incognito or the celebs prepair (lifts) for events since celebheights is widely known ;))
Maybe you should go jacket as a stadiometer hehe
[Editor Rob: here is my ideal scenario for Celebheights 2040 - I'd meet somebody wearing an invention from the year 2025 - SlyShoes.
So, I know the height the celeb claims or can ask them their height, then simply voice activate my shoes which automatically adjust with lifts that make me whatever height I want...of course you can imagine if I met Sly and I told my shoes 6ft 1, he'd laugh and tell his shoes 6ft 2 etc...
this is why the idea cannot ever be mentioned outwith this site, especially to Sly or anybody from New York!]
Rob is there any possibility that you could get Sly in person.That 'd be very interesting.But of course with Sly's footwear and posture it's very difficult to estimate his actual height

With his more relaxed posture I would say 6'2.5" at most. I'm thinking more 6'2", though. I've read that he's a super nice guy, but that was not my experience. Very standoffish and the only time he smiled was for the picture.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ali Baba just checked your older post just now. I must say judging by that picture of yours, Lou is comfortably 4.5 - 5 inches below (He would be lucky to reach your eyeline) May me estimated Lou as low as 6'1.5 wasn't that bad a guess after all.
Let me see 6'6(ali baba) - 4.5 inches = 6'1.5 or 6'1 if the difference is 5 inches.
In the above picture with rob, he is comfortably below 6'2. His morning height should be above 6'2 but i believe he can get as low as 6'1.5 so his average height would be 6'1.75 as opposed to lowest height.
Rob 5'8 - 5'8.75
Ali baba 6'6 - (6.75???)
Lou Ferrigno 6'1.5 - 6'2.25 ie 6'1.75

Biglou, I don't know Ferrigno's peak height but I do know he's about 6'2" now. Since I didn't meet him until just recently I won't even make a guess about his peak.

Now we have the pic between rob and Brandon Routh, who is a legit 6'2.5"(189cm).
Compare that pic with the above pic with lou. It is clear that brandon is taller than lou. It proves that lou is in the range 6'1" nowdays, like johno said. Prob.lou was as tall as brandon is today, so just like we repeated many times, lou peak was 6'2"-6'2.5"(188-189cm). "biglou", do not be ilarious, 3-4 inches difference between basketball shoes on and barefoot? please...

If Ferrigno is a legit 6’4” or more, he should have a full head size on Crystal, which is not happening even if he fully straightens up.

again and again. Thanks roelc. In this picture everybody can see how ferrigno was shorter compared with 6'5" Michael Cooper & Kurt Rambis. He looks clearly shorter, so it means he was 6'2"-6'3". In this pic more 6'2". NO WAY HE WAS TALLER THAN 6'3". once and for all. PICS DON NOT LIE. Here any trolls, just considering what pics show.

I stood next to Michael Cooper in the mid-1980s when I was 17 and around 6'3". Cooper was very thin in person and was a few inches taller than me, so 6'5" looks correct. Ferrigno does not look any more than 6'3" with Cooper.
Ferrigno (mid-20s) was in a weightlifting competition with 6'5" shotputter Brian Oldfield and looks noticeably shorter at around the 5:42 mark Click Here

Arch ...... Chill out, put your feet up and go and smoke something - your to melodramatic. Your taking this height estimation way to seriously. We are all guessing here.
I am only visit this site once every couple of months. My guesses are my own. For lou, i did state in upper 6'1 range ie 6'1 - 6'1.75 evening time. Maybe putting 6'1.5 was a bit on the risky side so howabout, say - 6'1.75 evening time? sound better? He does look it in the above picture with a 5'8 man. 6'1.75 in the evening and 6'2.5 in the morning. Can some olease show me how he looks 6'3 in the above picture and i'll believe. He has slight lean in the above picture. The left aide of his head would be close to how tall he could potentially be and thats nowhere near 6'3 or above.
So when people say 6'3 or 6'4.5 in youth like you have i believe thats clearly trolling. Your height estimations are clearly over estimating.

Here's a short clip from Lou Ferrigno's fitness video "Lou Ferrigno's Body Perfection" Click Here That's from 1985, so Lou was only 33-34 years old here.
He's training with two NBA players: Michael Cooper & Kurt Rambis.
Michael Cooper was listed by the NBA at 6'5" Click Here
Kurt Rambis was listed by the NBA at 6'8" Click Here
From 0:50 til 1:23 Lou stands inbetween these two guys and it's pretty clear that Ferrigno is not as tall as 6'5" Michael Cooper, and the difference between Lou and 6'8" Kurt Rambis looks a lot like the difference between Lou & Richard Moll. When looking at this video I think Lou is closer to 6'3" peak, maybe 6'3.5", but 6'4" looks a bit generous let alone anything over 6'4".

The top of robs skull is in line with lou's right eye. It is about 1.2 inches above 1.25 inches above the tip of lou's nose which is usually 6 inches from the top of the skull but lou's skull is about an inch larger then robs ie at 10.5 inches in length thus making the tip of his nose about 6.4 inches below the top of his skull and in turn rob's head reaches just over 5 inches below lou's.
The above is based on lou's lean without the lean, he would be about 5.5 inches taller then rob ie 6'1.5 - give or take. Not 6'3 nor above 6'2. Obviously this based purely on the above picture, if rob believed lou seemed in the 6'3 range that day then thats entirely different story but that cannot be based on the above picture. The above picture does not even come close to a near 7 inch difference more rather 5.5 inches. Lou was taller back in the days but in the above picture, he is in the high 6'1 range.
He was shorter both hulk hogan and bill goldberg

dear Danimal 69.5inches, you have to accept that lou was 6'2"-6'3" at his peak. That picture with ali baba who stands 6'5"-6'6", shows very well that lou was not taller than 6'3". No way. You repeat he had 2/3 inches over paul dillet on mr olympia stage 1983, who was claimed 6'1"-6'1.5". it is easy to answer: paul dillet was not 6'1.5", but approx. 2 inches shorter. Anyway the above picture with ali baba is more than clear. You have to accept it. Lou was born on 1951, so being 6'2"-6'3" in the 70ies, made him a tall man, in fact for that reason he was chosen for "the incredible hulk", because the 5'11.5"-6' schwarzy was too short for playing "a human beast". I was/am a huge "incredible hulk" fan, i watched all the series, but it does not mean i have to overestimate my heroes, for their sizes or for something else...

Lou ferrigno was 6'-2" - 6'.3". No way he was taller than 6'.3". But 6'.3" is a very respectable height. Few people can go over 6'.3". (lennox lewis for example), but this is not for lou. (schwarzy was about 6ft tall, lou looked always taller). For too much time people believed schwarzy was 6'.2", for that reason people believed lou at 6'.4". but it is was not true. schwarzy was about 6ft, lou 6'.2" - 6'.3".

Lou looks a true 6'4" with Kim....Kim looked exactly 6'4" with the 6'2.75" to 6'3" Rock. It's obvious Lou is another posture guy. Depending on how he's hold himself up....he can look anywhere from 6'2.5" to 6'4".

Ali, Ronster, chill. Either way, whether Lou was 6'4" peak and is 6'3" now, or if he was 6'5" peak and 6'3" now, it's moot. The dude is still a marvelous physical speciman. He's put thousands of hours making his body into what it is, and he should be respected for it.
BUT he should even be more respected for doing the work he's done with charities and kids. Yeah, this is a site about height and I find it funny when celebs claim they are a height they surely are not but in the end we're not talking about who started the first world war, just a dude's height. I don't hear too many people who've met him say he's an ass, most say he's a down to earth cool dude.

Ronster said on 28/Jan/13
Ali Baba, i will just consider where it comes from when it comes to your comments towards me. See, i have got your number and guys just like you. What bothers you most and why you go out of your way to attempt to make people think guys like Lou are shorter than they are is simply because you are ordinary, you are common and you cannot stand it. You think standing beside an older and much trimmed down Lou at 60 and being a few inches taller in your lifts makes you somehow look cool or bigger than him. Guess what, height alone doesn't make you big, and his physique which is much less than in his prime still makes you look puny next to him. I at least do not have any such chip on my big shoulders, so you go on with your quest to somehow make yourself the man you could only wish you were by trying to put down others. As for your "I am here in butF%$#k Texas anytime" remark, LOL why would i waste time to go pick on you? My comment about chopping you down was to push your button and it worked! My arms are bigger and stronger than your legs, so go hit the gym put on about 30 lbs of muscle and maybe you'll make a great before picture! Then we can meet at Hogan's beach shop and after i drop the big leg on you maybe the Hulkster will take a photo with you LOL. P.S. He does appear at his shop regularly, and they even post times he will be there daily almost. I really get a kick out of someone who posts a picture of himself unshaven with his little pot belly hanging out calling someone else ignorant!!
Ali Baba, i will just consider where it comes from when it comes to your comments towards me. See, i have got your number and guys just like you. What bothers you most and why you go out of your way to attempt to make people think guys like Lou are shorter than they are is simply because you are ordinary, you are common and you cannot stand it. You think standing beside an older and much trimmed down Lou at 60 and being a few inches taller in your lifts makes you somehow look cool or bigger than him. Guess what, height alone doesn't make you big, and his physique which is much less than in his prime still makes you look puny next to him. I at least do not have any such chip on my big shoulders, so you go on with your quest to somehow make yourself the man you could only wish you were by trying to put down others. As for your "I am here in butF%$#k Texas anytime" remark, LOL why would i waste time to go pick on you? My comment about chopping you down was to push your button and it worked! My arms are bigger and stronger than your legs, so go hit the gym put on about 30 lbs of muscle and maybe you'll make a great before picture! Then we can meet at Hogan's beach shop and after i drop the big leg on you maybe the Hulkster will take a photo with you LOL. P.S.

Ali baba says; Ronster, you're an idiot and I'm a bit tired of you basically calling me a liar. I have no reason to downplay Ferrigno's height. These are shoes I wear on a regular basis for walking around and going running. You're obviously not a smart cookie since you believe anyone can go to Hogan's surf shop anytime and meet him. Have a wonderfully blissful and ignorant life.
The entire reason you and others are on this site and others like it is just to try and lower heights because that is your sick obsession! And yeah, i am saying you are a liar Ali! Tall does not make you big, one day you will get chopped down stick man! LOL.

I have looked at this picture a few times, it is obvious if you look at Ali's posture and the way he is standing that he had lifts in those shoes to make himself 2 inches taller than he would be otherwise next to Lou. I was right the first time i looked at this, you purposly wore shoes that boosted you up to try and make Lou look shorter than he is, just because they are black shoes doesn't hide what anyone can see. All pictures of him with countless other people of known height show he is still 6'4" and was 6'5", only way i would ever believe you Ali is if you get one with him and stand barefoot next to him.

why are you people always underestimating celebrities heights?
Don't listen to the bashers like Red, this site was designed for people who are hell bent to diminish or try to somehow stain the legend of true big men out of some warped jealousy or something i cannot even begin to understand. They all use the exact same baseless arguments, and if you take time to notice are always looking at these celebs today when they are 5-60 years old or more and say if they are and inch or two less than before, (and in the case of Lou and others like Hogan have medical records and surgeries to prove the height loss) they will claim they never were as tall as they say. Lou was 6'5" or very close, he very well is down an inch due to his hips and bow legged stance now without a doubt, just like Hulk Hogan was billed as tall as 6'9" regularly and was really 6'7" before loosing height, has had numerous sugeries removing bone from his joints and spine lowering him by 2-3 inches with x rays and the scars to prove it all including numerous pictures showing he was really that tall, but still you will always have these guys arguing they were never that tall using select pictures of them in poor posture etc, there is no reasoning with anyone like these guys as they are not interested in any truth, they just want to cast stones at these great men to somehow feel better or in some cases make thenmselves feel bigger than they are i think??? The webpage admin puts ever one of their heights lower than they really are but that is to be safe for the most part, so get used to it LOL.

I met Lou, briefly, a few years ago at the Arnold Classic (bodybuilding show, Columbus Ohio). Lou had a booth, photos. I was not surprised to find his height was a little less than the 'official' 6'4" - he was much closer to 6'2". Maybe in his prime he was 6'3"...POSSIBLY 6'4". Still impressively built, at nearly 60. Oh, and I found him to be friendly and warm. Some on this site called him standoffish. Maybe Lou had posed for photos with a hundred other people that day; maybe his wife just called to tell him she just wrecked the car...who knows? Try to have a little perspective, and not judge someone based on exactly TWENTY SECONDS of interaction.

With his more relaxed posture I would say 6'2.5" at most. I'm thinking more 6'2", though. I've read that he's a super nice guy, but that was not my experience. Very standoffish and the only time he smiled was for the picture.

I could be wrong, but my guess is that heavy, heavy lifting (especially weighted squats, standing curls, shoulder shrugs and military presses) compress your spinal discs and cartilige so much, collectively over the years, that guys like Lou, Hulk Hogan and many others lose a bit more height than the average person would. I mean, there's no way Ferrigno was much less than 6'5, if at ll, during his Hulk days. But now, he's lost a good 2 or more inches. Say what you want about losing height with age, Ferrigno isn't that old, and, in my opinion, lost more than normal.

I own both 'Cage' films and Lou wears built up trainers in certain scenes so he looks even bigger!
Oddly enough he appears slightly shorter than his co-star, 6'3" Reb Brown, in their many scenes.
Other notable tall, uber-buff dudes like Matthias Hues 6'5", Deron McBee 6'3" & Michael Bailey Smith 6'4" also appear in the films.
Despite being the most hugely muscular actor of the gigantic men he is NOT the tallest.
Lou Ferrigno = 6'2.5" in my estimation.

Cool website.
Yeah I had a close experience with Lu in the mid 90's. He was in the place where I worked for nearly a full hour. I'm 6'3" and I gotta say he had to have been 6'5" it felt like more. With his body mass, it was like walking around some building as he stood there. Cooler weather so he was wearing a fleecy top, you could see muscle definition on his shoulders and back through it.

Based on celebrity appprentice beside 6,6 Penn Jilette, he looks about 6,2.5. 6,3 is possible because he wears rather thin soled shoes. As for his peak height, My actual opinion lies on whether or not arnold was truly close to a legit 6,2 in his prime bodybuilding days....

Still can´t see him at legit 6´4"peak or taller.
6´4" out of bed and 6´3"-6´3,5" during the day is what he was imo
When he was on Celebrity Apprentice earlier this year, he stated that he had both hips replaced a few years ago. That could account for some height loss (it did in Hogan's case). Shade over 6'4" at this peak. A little under 6'3" today.

In both pictures he doesn't stand straight, he 's always leaning on the side of the shorter guy to be kind, open your eyes it's obvious...No? How can you people judge height in this condition? Did you forget Pythagoras... And Rob since you ask him to pose with you, why not asking him to stand straight in the pic since it's for comparison purpose? This guy was a legit 6ft4.5 in his prime and probably still over 6ft3 today if only he knew he had to stand straight on these pics. But you're right by leaning few degree on the side he get down to 6ft2...

Editor Rob could depend on the size of the taller man's head, if it was smaller than average I might be at his mouth for a height like that, if his head was longer it could be near nose.
also the camera angle could make a 6ft 3 man look 0.5 or even 1 inch taller than he is.

He is also 100% correct on the effects on height perception from movies & TV. I've been in two movies..."Leatherheads" & "We are Marshall" I played a random football player in both. And small tweaks in camera angles, stances, markers, spacing & footwear can make actors heights look all over the map. I'm 5'11" barefoot...and in one scene I look 2" taller than Clooney who is also 5'11" or just a hair under. Stood beside both Clooney & John Krasinski while we were all barefoot'd during costume changes between takes & such. And George is 5'10 3/4" to 5'11" and Krasinski is a strong 6'2 1/2" almost 6'3".

Lou was 6' 4.5 in 1976, I was there for his being measured in a Brooklyn gym.
Although like anyone else, the discs between our vertibrae wear thin with age and excessive compression(especially with Weight lifters/body builders etc..).
Lou Presently stands at 6'3.5". I asked him about it specifically at a Comicon 2011.
As for comparrison heights via photographs and TV or Movies, there are a number of factors that make actors or anyone for that matter, appear much different than what is actual fact.
on Night Court, Lou was Purposely slouching, leaning back and rounding his shoulders forward.
This was ON PURPOSE, to both make him look much shorter that the 6'8" Richard Moll,(although previously unofficially measured at 6'6" ) John Laroquette was 6'4 at the time Lou was on Night court.
MORE importantly , is that a person standing as little as 6 inches closer to a camera with a straight on shot will create the illusion of a gain in height of the closer person in the pic.. Also add an angle from a foot lower (for example) will have the same effect. When actors, especially action stars will round off their height to the higher end of an inch. Also base their height on when in shoes.(several reason s for that, but another time).
The shorter Big Draw $ actors in films are very very commonly cast among shorter co-stars, helping in making them appear taller than they actually are,ask Tom Cruise.;} ALSO IMPORTANT about films, is that when you have a Tall actor avge 6'2-6'5" (which considered tall by Hollywood standards), and much shorter actors/actresses they need to have one on a 'lift ramp, & other techniques. The "closer to the camera" being most common among men, but with woman the ramp ( raised marked area) most used or in order to fit in the motion picture frames or TV etc.. The only way to accurately compare 2 individuals in height is eather a Dr.s scale or barefoot back to back.
I've measured hndreds of lifters/body builders/athletes & more as a Pro trainer running a large gym in NY .I took all measurements from height to fat percentages and all body parts. I have been begged, bribed & threatened to reveal some Body builders (mostly) arm , leg , waist and or Chest measurements. you'd be shocked if you knew what I do about size reality among the Body builder magazines lies, even when they show a pic with a tape measure that either have a finger or 2 in it out of view, or loose and folded too. NO LIES Here. My nick name was "Tape Worm" for 20 years, I would challenge any one I felt was boasting a lie about arms , or chest.Those 2 are the most common. The truely huge guys/gals didn't care.
I'm sorry to over do it like that but I hope I could help clarify what can cause so many different claims or questions.

Before I thought Schwarzenegger and Ferrigno were similar in height because of their body frame, Arnold was billed at 6'2 but maybe he was 6'1 in his prime and probably 5'11.5 or 6'0 today, Lou looked very big as The Hulk at a peak 6'4.5 so I would put him at 6'3.5 today.

Lou Ferrigno was never near 6'5", Ralf Moller's peak out of bed height was exactly 6'5", not 6'4.75", not 6'5.25", 6'5" on the line, Lou was at least an 1.50" shorter then Moller, most people say there taller, i would not be shocked if Lou peaked an honest 6'2", Arnold said he was 6'2" but when he went to audition for the incredible hulk he was turned away being told i thought you were 6'2", maybe arnold was truly 5'11" to 6' Peak. nuff said...

Well, I'm sure that his big head muscular built makes him look shorter than he is. If he would have an athletic body type, he would look taller. Well, Hulk Hogan is 6'4" nowadays as he stated and Lou looked almost an inch shorter than Hogan so Lou can only be 6'3"-6'3.5" nowadays.

Over 6'4" before shrinkage occured. Looks to have dropped to 6'3" nowadays. He's not old, but you can tell his has a slight hunch in his neck/upper back/shoulders and his legs do look shorter. He claims he has done one too many heavy squats over the years.

GeorgeStrombo, thanks for the information but a half inch is nothing. He might be a weak 6'5" in his prime but he's really not above 6'4" nowadays. Normally a human has the possibility to lose about an inch at the age of 57, so yes, that would put Lou at 6'3.5"-6'4" nowadays. That's the result. He looks 6'2"-6'2.5" beside Rob and 6'3" beside Mamun. On several TV shows such as King of Queens he appears closer to 6'4".

Don't forget he was stated at 6'5" in the 1977 Strongest Man Contest where he also was just as tall as the 6'5" Brian Oldfield (who won the competition).
So yes, Ferrigno was measured at a strong 6'4.5".

serling Brown, nobody believes your lie about Lou's height. Normally a man with a height of 6'5" would stand out and he would also appear gigantic in some photos and film scenes. Lou looks nowhere that height. Even in his younger days he could hit 6'4" but nothing more than that. I wonder how they came up to 6'5". Did they measure him in his prime? If it is so then I'm sure that he got measured with shoes.

I stood next to Lou on the Asbury Park, NJ, beach the day he won Teenage Mr. America. This was around 1970. I saw this guy a head taller than anyone else, surrounded by reporters, and I wondered who he was. I pushed my way up to him. Wearing shoes, I was nearly 6 feet tall back then. Lou was barefoot. He looked every bit of 6'5". I stood about two feet away, facing him, while he was being interviewed. I remember craning my neck to look up at him. I'd put my money on 6'5". He could not have been less than 6'4".

you guys are great! I love the comments "no more than..." "not even..." my favourite was "6'8" Richard Moll simply towers over him." btw, "towers" means a "person or thing that resembles a tower in height, strength and dominance". Moll certainly does NOT tower over Lou. I find this site frustrating because people seem to feel more height = more strength. I would must rather prefer to fight Richard Moll than Lou in their prime despite the fact I know Moll lifted weights and was in shape.

The Rob photo: Once again. Lou is leaning toward Rob, body & head. Straighten Lou out & up, and Rob's height's even w/Lou's mouth. Without a full-body shot, it's impossible to judge foot-spacing, but in the other shot, Lou's feet are somewhat widely-spaced, as would be more likely when leaning like this. Rob's standing straight up, facing front, & doing whatever he has to do to be in the same frame with Lou, thus Rob would quite likely have his feet more closely-spaced than Lou. Keeping Lou's 'tall' head in mind, ther is no evidence here to make him anything less than his claimed 6'4.5".

Lou is leaning, hunching, turning toward and standing further back than Mamun, ala whuch make him appear shorter than he actually is. Even so, the top of Lou's upper lip is even with the top of Mamun's head. If Lou 1/Closed his mouth , (thus bringing his chin up), 2/Stood equal distance from the camera and 3/ Faced the camera as square & straight as Mamun is , some part of his chin would be even with the top of Mamun's head.

sid, yes it would be more realistic if someone loses almost an inch but not losing almost 2 inches when getting older.

I mean, Lou looks 6'3.5" to me nowadays but I really wonder why he lost over an inch.

OK, Danimal showed a pic where Lou looked really huge! So 6'5" could be right for his height in his younger days but I wonder why he doesn't look so tall nowadays. I'm wondering what height he could hit today.

Lou looks only almost an inch taller than Arnold Schwarzenegger who wasn't even a full 6'2" in his prime. So his 6'5" measurements are a joke! Click Here
First of all, there are TONS of pics of Arnold and Lou from the 1974 AND 1975 Mr. Olympia where they are BAREFOOT ONSTAGE and NO, there wasn't only 1" difference between them back then: Click Here
YOU LOSE......

Ferrigno is massive and at the top end of above average height and that starts at 6'3". But Lou still looks a strong 6'3" guy. His 6'5" measurement was when he was wearing shoes so that would take him at 6'4" barefoot height.

In the picture with you Rob, Lou looks 6'2-6'2.5 If he would straitened up you would come up to his nose, and that's about 6"-6.5"

Lou is 6'3" barefoot now, was 6'3 3/4 peak, which put him at 6'5" in shoes.
April's Playboy has a pick of him with Julie Newmar, who at 5'10-11" looks no more than 4 inches shorter than Lou.

Hogan is not even 6'4", let alone 6'5". Hogan is around 6'3 1/4" today.

Ferrigno looks at least one inch shorter than Hogan on the photo what daniel_Sweden posted. If Lou is a strong 6'3" or 6'3.5" today then Hogan is slighty under 6'5". Hogan is also a half inch taller than The Rock, what would place The Rock at 6'4". We got the result. But Hogan doesn't somehow look tall enough to place him at almost 6'5".

Here's Lou guest starring in an episode of Night Court. I remember seing this episode somewhere in the early 90's, remembering that Lou wasn't nearly as tall as I thought he was (I used to think he was like 6'7). Lou is in his prime here, yet he's struggling with 6'4 here.
John Larroquette (who's listed as 6'4) looks slightly taller than him, but probably has a small footwear advantage.

Thing is, the producer of Night Court says in the season 1 commentaries that John Laroquette is somewhere between 6'4" and 6'6", which would put him at 6'5" legit, seeing Harry Anderson was ALSO listed at 6'4", but was obviously shorter than John on the show.

that nightcourt episode is actually from 7 February 1985 or season 2 spisode 17 "Battling Bailiff" so filming would have taken place in late 1984
the photo with Ralf Moeller is from 1997

Here's a good pic of Lou and Ralf Moeller from the set of the Conan tv-show. Looks about 1 inch difference. Moeller has listings of 6'5.2" (his own website) as well as 6'5.5" (other websites). This puts Ferrigno at 6'4.2" to 6'4.5".
