Rob, how about 5’10.5” for Hatch and 5’10” peak for Dirk?
I recall Hatch hardly had an inch on Michael Douglas on The Streets of San Francisco. Hatch never seemed like a complete 5’11” to me.

Editor RobHatch I thought in person was still over 5ft 10, so could believe 5ft 11 peak, although I haven't seen that episode with Michael Douglas.

Lorne Greene didn't really look taller than him Battlestar Galactica.
I wonder if Greene was 5'11ish by late 1970s and peak was almost 6'0.

Editor RobGreene may well have been closer to 5ft 11 by time of Galactica.

I think a lot of people voted based on how tall he looks here with Rob, which is about 5'10" and change.

Not convinced he was over 5'11". I guess it depends on what shoes he wore.

5'11" would sound more believable than 5'11.25".

You can’t always trust photos apparently. He must be a solid 5’11 guy in person for sure if you gave him that extra 0.25

Editor Rob Hatch looked taller than Dirk on Galactica, I think Dirk at just under 5ft 11 and Hatch just over made sense...

Wow this really shows that you cant always trust your perceptions. I saw Hatch at a comic oon a few years ago and walked right past him and I would have swore he wasnt more than a couple of inches taller than me. He definately looks like he'd be more than 3 inches taller than 5'8 Rob in this photo as he's bending is head a bit. Is he possibly wearing lifts?

5"11, I'm 5 "3 and he can rest his chin against my forehead. Besides he claims 5"11 and if that makes him happy who am I to argue?

@Aragorn haha, bit over dramatic don't you think? You say 5'10.5 is acceptable, but 5'11 is a JOKE? It's half an inch, it's going to be pretty difficult to edge out half an inch from a photo in which both of the people are slouching.
If he stood up military straight, I could see 5'11".

I'd say he's 5'9.25 while slouching and 5'10.5 if he stood up straight. 5'11 is a JOKE for him! JOKE!

In scenes with Karl Malden on "The Streets of San Francisco", he appeared to be nearly two inches shorter than him. Since Malden was 6'0.5", Hatch would be 5'11" flat.

With Rob about 5ft10(178cm), perhaps a sliver more with better posture. Beside Mamun looks exactly 3in taller, so the listed height does make sense

There's something fishy going on. If Hatch is 5'11.25" (appears 6'+ in the photo), then I am 5'10" or 5'11" ... and I am not. I am close to the same height as Mamun claims, and in no way was Richard more than 1.5" taller than me, much less nearly 4" or more. Maybe I need a new tape measure!

I met Richard in an elevator, in the mid 80's. He was very friendly. We were both wearing topsider's at the time. He was a little taller than me and a lot better looking. He was no more than 5'9.5" or 5'10".
