Russell Hornsby (from Grimm) would be a good choice to play him in terms of height, size and looks, although maybe is a bit past the age to pull it off.

I thought maybe it was just the way the suit was cut in the photo above. But, yeah, that's an unusual build. Very top-heavy and long(ish) arms.

Found a picture with Otis talking to Jimi Hendrix but its hard to tell, Jimi's head is much closer to the photographer.

Yeah, I couldn't find many pictures of him standing next to well-known celebrities. I believe they are some cd liner notes photos w/ his guitarist Steve Cropper and they looked similar. Cropper in Blues Brothers was I think similar or had an edge on Dan Akyroyd.

Thanks for adding! He also cites his height & weight in the song he wrote Love Man, "I'm six feet one, weigh two hundred and ten".
An unusual build, he had an almost massive upper body then quite skinny legs.

Editor Rob Sam, looking at photos of him, I thought he seemed a bit loose in the back, so at times really doesn't come across as 6ft 1, but maybe when standing tall he could do so.
