Probably not over 6'2 these days. Worst case for him is 6'1 3/4

Yeah, I mean I was literally watching terminator 3 last night and noticed how big Arnie used to be. Those two are the same age, yet compare the height losses!

Not lost much height. Over 6-2 peak. Now maybe 6-1.75. Some people don’t lost much it’s genetics.

He still looked at least 6ft2 just a few years ago. Probably can still make it now, worst case 187cm.
If Kelsey Grammer was 6ft1 on Cheers, Ted looked about 6ft3

Looks a solid 6'2 on Becker where's he's mid to late 50s during the run of that show.
So I can definitely believe a 6'2.5 peak. Nowadays....probably lost some more, but I'd say even in his 70s I'd guess no less than 6'1.5.

Just watching The Onion Field from 1979 and in the first scene playing the bagpipes no kidding Ted looks nearer 6 ft 4 than 6'2 range. Looks very tall with the other actor. Goes to show how big a real 189 looks on screen.

He doesn’t look as low as 6’1.25”. If anything he’s a hair Under 6’2” with the ability to pull off looking 6’2 still so maybe he still is the full 6’2”. Peak height 6’2.5” looks accurate being he was about an inch shorter than Selleck who claimed 6’3.5”

Peak: 6ft2¾(189.9cm)
Today: 6ft1¾(187.3cm)
Doubt he’d measure less than 187cm today and might still make 188cm hence go for somewhere between. As far as his peak goes, I think the general consensus is that he wasn’t quite the full 6ft3 but not far from it

Cheeky though it may seem coming from someone of my height, I thought Ted was more of a giant than this, as I'd read 6ft4 for him way back when!
6ft2.5 for Ted's peak and half-an-inch less for today. 😄👍

He could pass for 6'2.75 in his prime and held up well through 50's, then maybe shipped a fraction in his 60's. Today nearing mid 70's he looks to have lost something more noticable than a half inch.

I know he, or at least his character (Sam Malone) claimed to be 6'3 on Cheers. I was kind of surprised that Google has him at 6'2/1.88 m, considering how the taller claims are usually have you see there haha!
He definitely looked between 6'2-6'3 in his prime.

Editor Rob: yeah I don't think they were really 6ft 3 barefoot men.
McDonald rarely if ever gave 6ft3 vibes even back in the 90's. Looked more like a strong 6ft2 in Thelma & Louise and barely so in Happy Gilmore. Danson in the Cheers days could pull it off at times so a long shot but not entirely impossible...but with Selleck maybe being a little under 6ft4 probably a slimmer chance of it...Daniels in Purple Rose of Cairo I think looked it...but then not so much in Dumb & Dumber

Interesting Rob, I actually have Chris down at third with a penny toss between Danson and Daniels as being more likely to measure 190cm. I could be wrong though.
I do think it’s fair to say that the three of these guys maybe just missed the 6ft3 mark?

@Rising: I still say you nailed this one! You called 6’3.5 for Selleck and 6’2.5 for Danson years back and in old photos that’s how he holds up with him. Danson to me would be his listed height and although today I can see people’s perception of weak 6’2” I did see his new show and he can look 6’2” still. I wonder if Selleck’s weight gain caused him more loss. Also good comparison to Clint Eastwood. He was always guessed here at 6’4” and turned out to be listed lower now 6’3.5”. I would say Selleck would not be below that mark as he could look taller than Conan back then on occasion but Eastwood not sure on. He had potential to be a bit less

At most he could be 6'1 3/4 now but peak was very solid looking 6'2 1/2 possible 6'2 5/8 if pull out a tape.

@Louis: I remember that episode. He reads 6'2" off the other man's driver's license, laughs and then brags about being 6'3". Funny thing is, iirc, Woody's character once claimed to be about 6 ft!
@Canson: Yeah, people thought Eastwood was 6'4" for years and now most argue 6'3.5" is the most he could be so it's easier for me to see how people saw Selleck at 6'4" than Eastwood. In Selleck's case, I wouldn't argue anything under 6'3.5" peak, but I think there's ample evidence he was simply honest. I actually think he's more like 6'2.5" now, but the 190 cm could be his max. Danson is a similar case to Selleck. The 6'2.5" figure came up for him and it's believable, though he may have rounded to 6'3" as many would.

@Rampage: Selleck is an odd case. He could pull off 6’4” being he’s so thin (peak height) but a proper 6’3.5 can look 6’4 when well proportioned. My 6’3 friend in his prime (he’s in his 60s now) walked tall and had broad shoulders so he pulled off looking 6’4-6’5 when asked even though he was honest and always claimed 6’3 his entire adult life. He’s 6’2.75 (afternoon low) now and claims about 6’3 nowadays

@Canson I wouldn't doubt 6'2 1/2 peak for Danson but he recently had really look closer to 14cm shorter than Stephen Merchant which my estimate 1" loss could be happening in his early 70s now.

Yeah he easily would’ve cleared 6ft3 first thing, possibly even brushed 6ft3½. Certainly a strong possibility of that if he was say 6ft2¾
He wasnt much shorter than Selleck in Three Men & A Baby, an inch maybe. Tom at 6ft4 peak does potentially equate to 6ft3 for Ted...but its argued for years now that Selleck mey have been a touch or so shy of 6ft4.
The way I see it
Danson: 6ft2¾(189.9cm)
Selleck: 6ft3¾(192.4cm)
Rob, how likely are those as peak figures?

@Junior: Selleck didn’t have 3-4 cm on Danson. He had him by 1”. Rising posted a pic previously with them and it was an inch difference between them. 6’3.5 is what he claimed. 6’4 was a rounded up claim. Also if you see Selleck with 6’5” Darryl Strawberry, that claim fits. It was a 1.5” difference. I think Rob has Danson listed appropriately. 6’2.5 peak maybe still 6’2” today. Selleck is overlisted by 1/2”. His 6’3.5 claim is closer to the truth

@Canson He only claim that one time 6'3.5" and often claim 6'4 and look close so gauge out to be 6'3.75" just in between 6'3.5-6'4. During both of their peak they look 3cm apart more than 4cm. Ted Danson is listed accurately for peak and now. Watch Fargo you're see a still solid 6'2 Ted Danson in that show. Selleck is not as low as 6'2 1/2 now as you think more appropriate 6'3 when he stand straight.

@Rising: I agree with everything you said! I wouldn’t rule out 188.5-189 either for Danson as Selleck easily fits the 191.5-192 range peak. That looked around an inch but I won’t rule 3cm out either. Haysbert peak could’ve been 193.5-194 I’m thinking. Danson is a bit older so it’s def possible he’s 187 range now at 70.

@Canson: I more or less agree on Selleck and probably all 3. Here's Danson and Haysbert about 6 months ago: Click Here Haysbert looks about 1.5" taller, imo, but he looked closer to 2" taller in 2013: Click Here and this 2014 one isn't a full pic, but it can look more like 2.5" here: Click Here footwear: Click Here He may have been standing worse in the 2018 one so it's not impossible he's still a full 2" taller, but Haysbert basically hadn't aged by 2014 yet at least seems to look a bit older now so it'd make sense he lost height, especially after turning 60. You can probably argue 1/4" under now and over peak for him. Danson is probably close to his listings, but 187 cm range current is possible. Also 188.5-189 range shouldn't be ruled out peak. Selleck's peak isn't much of a mystery to me considering his claim, but current is tough due to posture. I'd say 6'3" flat around the start of Blue Boods, but maybe 189-190 range now depending on how much is posture and how much is actual height loss.

@Rising: I think the average guess along with the listings are perfect. He looks an inch shorter than Selleck as well. I think Selleck needs the downgrade though to 6’3.5 for his peak and 6’3” is still ok for his current to me. I would say Haysbert is prob 1/4” over peak. He’s prob more what I am today peak. Haysbert also has really bad posture today. He can look 6’3 or a bit less in some pics but I believe he’s still somewhere around 6’4 if not a bit under now a days. You’re right too in Sam being listed 6’3” when he played baseball at least so I could see the claim.

Yeah, I specifically remember his character claiming 6'3" on Cheers. Of course, Woody's character also claimed 6 feet on the show so we don't know if that's necessarily what the actors themselves claim. I'd guess Danson could have claimed both 6'2" and 6'3" over the years. I'm not sure, but I think I remember him being described as 6'2.5" in newspapers as well. This 1985 Washington Post article has him claiming to have been 6 feet and 120 pounds at 13 and the writer then goes on to state Danson grew two more inches: Click Here

@Christian: good question. Rising mentioned that he did when he was on Cheers when he (Sam) was competing with another guest character for Diane. The rival character said he was 6’2” I believe. I don’t remember the episode but according to Rising he claimed 6’3” there at least once. You’re right they do list Based on claims. Even then they round up regularly. I’ve seen 6’5 listings for Haysbert as well as 6’4.75 and 6’4.5 like he claimed. My opinion is that his peak was the similar to me maybe a mm or difference. I doubt a real 6’4.5 at a low like Vince Vaughn or Tim Robbins or Michael Jordan etc but if he got 6’4.5 at some point in the day (which I don’t rule out), he likely would be somewhere around my height if not maybe 6’4 1/8 worst case but I really say he’s 6’4.25 at a low.
@Christian and Rising: for fun here is May Day when he was a player for the Red Sox. He’s listed 6’3” according to this lol

They list him at just 6’2” today on the internet. Wonder if he’s lost height or if they simply rounded down. However, I could buy 6’2” perhaps today as he was 6’2.5 peak imho. He has aged but doesn’t look bad for being 70 today

@Rising: that is well said! I think 6’3.5-.75 (192 range) may fit him. That’s true that there’s little difference between 6’3.5 and 6’4. I think with Danson, his frame is lankier so he would look taller due to his proportions than some 6’3 guys may look. So in his case he may only be 6’2.5 but pass for 6’3. It’s also from what I’ve seen very much weight and build (torso to leg ratio) that impact. Some guys that are 6’2.5 May only wake up 6’3 or a hair abovs while others could lose closer to an inch or maybe a full inch if they’re on the heavier side like Selleck has been at times

@Canson: Yeah, Selleck claimed 6'3.5" on at least two occasions in the 80's. One was in a TV Guide interview published around late 1980 or early '81 and the other was in a 1987 Houston Chronicle interview, but in that one he said "about" 6'3.5" leading me to believe he may have been measured precisely at an 1/8 or 1/4 above it, but I can't see any reason he'd lie about the 6'3.5". If he wanted to lie and make himself shorter then it'd make sense to say 6'3", but if he did want to say he was shorter then why would he claim 6'4" on so many other occasions? It'd defeat the purpose since most people knew him to be 6'4" and likely never saw those interviews. He certainly didn't look less than 6'3.5" so anywhere from that height minimum to 6'3.75" makes sense to me. It's not like it's such a noticeable difference from 6'4" anyway, but would put him in the same range as Eastwood and John Wayne. I believe Goldblum could look the tallest of the men you mentioned, but it might be his frame. Hoff was certainly a legit 6'4" with the chance of being slightly over. Same goes for Neeson.
I tend to agree regarding Danson. His character on Cheers did claim 6'3" and specifically in relation to a rival character being "only" 6'2.5". But then Danson got listed at 6'2" some times so he was probably somewhere in between. Definitely a tall guy, especially compared to the rest of the cast, most of whom were roughly average height give or take.

This has to be one of the weirdest coincidences ever! I just saw Ted Danson in the 'Latest Comments', read Mister lennon's contribution, changed my TV Channel to '5 Star', looked up and who did I see at the end of the film 'Getting Even With Dad'? None other than Ted Danson!
He is walking with a little tiny Macaulay Culkin and seems to be playing his Dad! They are strolling around the streets and Ted is so far, the very tallest person I've seen! I was always of the opinion that he was 6ft4, having read it, but I don't mind going along with 6ft2.5, because we all know how stars' heights are exaggerated, don't we everyone? 😊👌

@Junior: I remember Rising Force was discussing Selleck and mentioned the time he claimed 6’3.5. rising believed maybe 6’3.75 which fits a bit better but there’s a good chance Selleck dipped below 6’4 at a peak especially since he claimed below it. I agree with Rising that 6’3.75 may be a good fit. 6’3.5 seems a bit low for him. He didn’t give the kind of impression that David Hasselhoff or Liam Neeson or Jeff Goldblum gave. His build may have to do with it, along with the fact Goldblum May have been 6’4.25 peak vs just 6-4 flat
As for Danson, he’s got longer limbs than Selleck and holds his height better. Meaning he could’ve been an honest 6’2.5 guy that passed for 6’3”.

@Canson There is chance i see Danson had downplay a 3/4 claiming 6'2 to get more good roles in his hey days during those tough life period in the 70s-80s most actors struggles to earn a living. Because most director and producer prefer to get an average height actor on the movie sets or average tall actors between 5'11-6'2 not over. Tom selleck claim 6'4 when he was young atually does look it comparison with many bunch of tall actors claiming 6'2-6'4 range but when Danson claim 6'2 it destroy Selleck down at 6'3-6'3.25", because there is no way anything above 3cm between them during 1980s-2000s never 1.5"-2" and current status its more like a solid inch between this two veteran actors.

Rob i think 190 could be closer to the truth at his peak i mean in fargo he didnt look shorter than at least 188 cm but to me still looked 189. he is 69 years old.if he have lost 1 cm from 190 - 189 then he have held up good. But To not have lost anythin and always been 189 seems almost impossible, But who knows.

Danson is a perfect example of a 6'2-or-slightly-over guy who can look up to 6'4. Sometimes he looked the same height as Tom Selleck in Three Men. I would buy 6'2.5 for a peak height.

I have never, ever got round to watching 'Cheers', but I did see Ted in 'Gulliver's Travels' and it was by far the best version I have ever seen!
I thought the guy was 6ft4, from at least one article I read about him at the same time I watched 'Gulliver's Travels' and that was in the 90's when it was first on television.
I don't know exactly how old Ted is, but to have been in 'Cheers', he will clearly be of an age where shrinkage is the norm, rather than the exception!

He was still significantly taller than tom hanks in saving private ryan and nathan fillion who I believe is overstated.
Was taller than burns who is around 6 1
Also freakishly tall in onion fields but think they were short to average type folks.

I do think standing tall he would be taller than listed but shorter than 6'3 . Remember that his hair gave the illusion of being taller. So am gonna go with 6'2.75 peak.

On Cheers, Danson wore very flat boat shoes putting him at a disadvantage to most others on the show. Especially considering that, he was at least 6'2.5" peak.

Rob, can you add a photo and downgrade from peak? Check out this with Noonan, Click Here That's a lot more than 2.5 inches!! Looking 6'1" range there, even with angle and perhaps a little footwear disadvantage.

Cast of "Cheers":
Ted Danson- 6'2" (on show claimed 6'3"-height in shoes-??)
Kelsey Grammar- 6' (maybe just a tad over-??)
Woody Harrelson- 5'9.5" (claimed 6 feet on the show once)
John Ratzenberger- 5'8.5"
George Wendt- 5'8.5"

Danson looked at least a couple inches on an episode of "Frasier", and I think Grammer is a solid 6'1". So 6'3 sounds about right.

I can buy a weak 6'3 for a younger ted damson. I wouldn't go higher than that though. In reality 190cm would be more accurate

Ted Danson looks a lot shorter than Tom Noonan here. So either Noonan is a genuine 6' 6", or Danson is a standard 6' 2".

I'm 6'2.5" and was standing next to Ted Danson at LAX last week. To me he seemed 6'1" at most, and that wasn't because of slouching -- his posture was excellent. I was also struck by how thin he was -- probably around 170 -- and how small his head was, both things that would make him look taller on TV.

I met Mr. Danson just last week... 3/17/11 and had a nice stand up, face-to-face chat with him for several minutes. He looked me square in the eye without stretching and without my stooping the whole time. Granted, he had his shoes on which adds some indeterminate amount of altitude. But so did I. So... Ted Danson is at least 6'3" plus or minus an unimportant fraction.

Rob ever seen that movie with Ted Danson and Will Smith called 'Made in America'. It came out in 1993 so back then Danson would have been at his peak height. More to the point in that movie notice he looks 6ft4 throughout the film because of those cow boy boots he wears. Do you agree rob that he pulled off looking 6'4 with those boots?

I was a huge fan too Danimal. One of my all time favorite sitcoms. I remember one episode when Diane I think is dating this guy named Lance. I remember Sam is jealous that women find Lance better looking so he takes Lance's drivers license looks at it and laughs. He then says "It says here that you're 6-2", Lance replies "so" and Sam says "I'm 6-3". I agree on 6'3" peak, he towered over everyone on that show.

I LOVED Cheers. I was a fanatic of the show and I remember taping the final episode. Ted was Sam (Ted's character) had been referred to as being a former 6'3" ball player in various episodes over the years on the show. I think he may have dropped to 6'2" since then. He is in his early 60's now. Could even be a 1/4" inch under 6'2" today, but he was a full 6'3" back in the day. He had at least 2-3" on Kelsey Grammer and at least 2" on then 6'0"-6'1" Leslie Nielson in 1981, in Creepshow).

Ted was 6'4 in his a-day i think, now 6'2 1/2 or 6'3 possibly, still a tall guy, he appeared on frasier once back in 1994 and was 3 inches taller than kelsey grammer who is 6'1 so that shows he was 6'4 maybe a shrunk a bit since then though.

A solid 6'2.5 for Ted he always looked to be that, I did see him in person walking in Manhattan with a trench coat near Grand Central, I was holding my tea and he was holding his coffee or tea and we were both holding them in the same way and both walking briskly but he was going in the opposite direction, had a good look at how tall he was and 6'2.5 seems right on the mark.

My mom saw him yesterday with his wife somewhere in downtown L.A., said he was tall and very gray, pegged him at 6'3. Considering she is no expert, 6ft 2.5in sounds right.

In the episode of "Frasier" in which Danson's character from "Cheers" visits Seattle, Danson looks about 2 to 3 inches taller than 6'1'' Kelsey Grammar. I know Grammar is a solid 6'1'', so could their significant height difference be due to Danson's "high" hairstyle? Well, I think Danson could easily pass for 6'3'', or taller, even. He's clearly a big man.

Well I saw him on again on Conan tonight and I have to say that he looked his 6'2.5 estimate next to him. Conan even made a remark early in the interview about how it strikes him ow tall he is. Why would conan say that if he is shorter than him? Anyway I don't know why I saw 6'5 last time but his height seems to be corrwct.

His height was always wrong because he wore that hair job of his like an afro. It stuck up over his skull like two inches, that is where 6'3 came from. 6'1 to the bald head he has now(sans the wig).

In the episode of Cheers where he states how tall he is, the Diane character brings in a student who has a crush on her to try to get Sam Malone jealous. Sam asks the student how tall he is and when the student says 6'2", Sam laughs and says "Ha...I'm 6'2 1/2"! Seems to me that you got his height bang on here.

In 3 Men and a Baby I seem to remember Danson as being shorter than Selleck by an inch or two. There is a photo linked from this site of Selleck next to 6'5'' or 6'6'' Chuck Connors and he looks dwarfed. Danson does look like a genuine 6'2'' guy though. He has that tall rangy look about him.

His height was referenced several times on Cheers as 6'3" and he certainly looked it. Some years ago, of course, but surely can't be much less now.
