He was over 70 here and still looked about 6ft1. By now it's possible he's dropped a little more but peak I think there's a fairly good chance he was 6ft1¼-6ft1½

I always found it rather funny that Wolf was a German name when I was a child. Actually, my Mum worked for a German guy called Mr Wolf and he would collect stamps for me to send to the PDSA, which was very sweet of him. The child helpers were called Busy Bees. 🐝
This Mr Wolf 🕰🐺 looks every bit of 6ft1, possibly over that mark rather than under it.
6ft1.25.

Haven't seen Raiders in many years but I have a feeling this guy did more than just edge Harrison...

Big forehead so he could be as high as maybe 6'0 and 1/2 in the pic. Very unlikely to measure below a legit 6 ft.
6'1 peak is near guaranteed, probably a little over. Will guess 6'1.25

Editor RobI don't think at peak as tall as 6ft 2, although maybe 6ft 1.5 is a possible range.

Looks 6'0.5-6'0.75 here, though I thought he certainly 6'1 range in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

doesn't seem to have the best of postures here and we can't look at the top of rob's head since there'shair covering the top of his cranium while kahler's hair is very thin. weak 6ft1 here would be my guess.

He consistently looked a few inches taller face-to-face with 6'1" Jeremy Brett in "A Scandal in Bohemia" (1984).

@ Rob - How big is 🐺 Kahler's head compared to yours?
Editor RobIn person I'd have said in 10 inch zone, though his head is a bit closer to Malcolm (who isn't in the middle of us). He was taller than the near 5ft 11.5 photographer, so at least 6ft range, I would give him somewhere around 6ft 1 peak and maybe 6ft and change that moment.

🐺 Kahler does look quite a bit short of 6'1"! I like his name!

❄️ His name reminds me of a game we used to play as small kids called 'What's the time Mr Wolf?' 🐺
The kids would ask Mr Wolf what the time was, and he'd reply with whichever time he felt like. When he said 'Dinner Time!', all the kids would run away screaming! The one who was caught was OUT!
This Mr Wolf looks 6ft1 to me!

What a splendid name: WOLF! I wonder if he is! I learnt the (other!) meaning of the word from my Mum when I was still a little girl! She pronounced the word in a really funny way in her German accent and I used to take the ¶iss! 🐺
I can't see Wolf being as tall as 6ft1 now, so he gets 6ft0.25!

If he was still clearing 6ft just a few years ago then that mark for his prime is definitely arguable. Certainly would have said it was possible next Ford

He was in his 70's when you met him and still looked over 6ft...then there's no reason not to believe he had probably lost some height.
Here he is w/h George Harrison Click Here

Editor Rob I met him a few years back, he was over 6ft, I am not sure about 6ft 1.5 peak, I wouldn't rule it out of course, might need to catch something again in the 80's and look for him.

Rob, did he appear over 6ft when you met him?
If he's still 184cm today then 186cm peak is very possible. He was a bit taller than Ford in Raiders

Editor Rob yes I thought he was taller than Malcolm the photographer that day by 2cm, so over 6ft flat.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Jul/16
Probably still clears 6ft but maybe not quite a solid 6ft1 today. Peak possibly a strong 6ft1

1.82 is possible Rob?
[Editor Rob: he edged out the photographer who is around 182 himself]
he's taller than a legit 5'11.5"-5'11.75"...i would put him at 6'0.5" at least today...as peak height it might be 6'1" or 6'1.25"

About an inch longer head than you Rob?

About an inch longer head than you Rob?
Editor Rob I don't know, if you are slightly nearer, your head can gain a fraction or more. I'd say it was possibly close to 10 inches.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Oct/14
Well if he only "edged out" a 182cm guy, then isn't 6ft1 still a bit much, Rob?

Editor Rob I think by this time he may have lost a fraction of height, so a 6ft 1 peak seems reasonable.

Kostas, he could be 6' in the pic, but with a bad posture...standing at full height i'll bet he edges 6'0.5"

His head is big and he has a eye level of a 6 footer(i mean, if a 6 footer with a normal eye level and an average size's head was standing next to him, both would have the impression they are the same height) , but 185 cm is a correct listing
