I went through this whole process of rationale...I knew I couldn't be a salesman, because I could never close a deal. I couldn't sing or dance, I was 5-foot-2 and losing my hair, and I couldn't act, so I knew I couldn't make it as a leading man.

He was definitely under 5ft 3 in his very last years before he passed away. Some scenes in The Karate Kid movies, he even looked a little more than 5 and a half inches (14cm) shorter than Ralph Macchio due to Ralph looking pretty lanky.

Just saw him on an episode of MASH, and he was dwarfed by almost every cast member, including the diminutive Gary Burghoff - 5'3 appears spot on for him.

there is a possibility that he was 150lbs,
but now way was he this much in the karate kid movies,
he looked 120-125lbs tops in the karate kid movies,
my guess was 120-125lbs because he's only 5ft 3in

150lbs? That guy? No way! 5'3'' seems accurate, yes--- but concerning the guy got older I'd give him a little under that mark.
