Larry Linville was never 185cm. I sincerely doubt he was ever 183cm. He did some theatre work in Canada after MASH (up until the early 90's) and while he would have been closing in on 60, he never struck me as much more than 5'11" (maybe 181cm) at that time. He was thin which added to the appearance of being tall. Kirsten says on 7/Feb/08
I met Alan Alda on September 24th 2007 he is 6'2!

Garry Burghoff 165cm; David Ogden Stiers 193cm; Larry Linville 185cm; Harry Morgan 163cm; Wayne Rogers 190cm; Alan Alda 185cm; sam says on 11/Jan/08
I saw him in person and he's still almost 6'2". Ray says on 5/Oct/07
I'm just going on what he said himself...why would he take 2 inches off his height ??? Schnouzer Breath says on 5/Oct/07
Looks dead on with 6-2 Beatty in that pic. Remember, BJ was 6-3plus on Mash, and Alda no more than an inch shorter. lol Ray says on 4/Oct/07
On the Paul O'Grady show he stated he was 6 feet. Jackie says on 12/Sep/07
At the 1982 Oscars with 6'2" Warren Beatty Click Here dmeyer says on 11/Sep/07

Saw tv show Conan O'Brien and he did look 6' 2" still next to Conan Taylor says on 21/Aug/07
I met him last year at a bookstore - and I would have pegged him around 6'3" or 6'4". My boyfriend is 6'5" and Alda did come off as around the same height. However, it was a brief moment, and I could have been off. He's tall, that's all there is to it! And you're right, he does slouch. SN says on 25/Jun/07
MASH had to have the tallest cast of all time. Wayne Rodgers 6'4, Mike Farrell 6'4, David Ogden Stiers 6'4, Maclain Stevenson 6'3 an Alan Alda who never looked as tall as he really was because he was around these guys 6'2 1/2. Anonymous says on 23/Jun/07
In a 1972 episode of MASH(First season)he stood face to face with pro football player/actor Alex Karas who was in his final season in the NFL, Karas was always listed at 6'2 his entire carear,they were about the same height, but if anything Alda was about a half inch taller, and Karas had a hat on! If Karas height is accurate then Alda was a big 6'2, 6'2 1/2-6'2 3/4. Rissa says on 21/Jun/07
It said 6'2" on his medical file in MASH - see episode from season two called "Mail Call", where Radar pretends to be Hawkeye and tells a girl that HE is six foot two. dmeyer says on 16/May/07
he had a solid 2 in over leo in aviator dmeyer says on 8/Jan/07
he had 2 inches on leo in the aviator so either he is steel 6'2 or leo is no more than 5'11 weekly says on 6/Jan/07
Yes, he's a supersloucher. He said moretimes in MASH he was 6'2, and few times looked shorter, few times even taller. Definitely 6'2 in prime, nowadays? Jody Monster says on 12/Oct/06
Not anything over 6'2 and nothing under 6' if you ask me. It's hard to judge this man, sometimes he looks taller, and sometimes rather shorter. Viper652 says on 21/Sep/06
Shorter guests on Conan's show always look close to his height If they are over 6-0 because his stage is tilted towards the actor's favor, not to mention Conan slouches slightly as well. Its a terrible judge to guess accurate height. Schwing says on 20/Sep/06
When he was on the Conan O'Brien show recently, if Conan's 6'4 then I think he looked pretty much level. Maybe he's wearing lifts or something in old age, but he looked damn tall. sf says on 25/May/06
frank p - I used to think around 6' too, on MASH, but that was before I realized how tall most of the other principals were - Wayne Rogers, Mclean Stevenson, David Odgen Stiers, Mike Farrell. these guys are allo around 6'3", so Alda didn't look so tall, comparatively. frank p says on 24/May/06
Now see, he's one of those I thought wasn't as tall as he appeared on film. He has that body type, the lanky look that I felt gavce him the 6"2 appearance. I thought about 6"0 on MASH. But, I gotta say, he looked very tall to me last season on West Wing next to Jimmy Smitts and the cast. PAT says on 5/Feb/06
Only time I saw him in public was at the airport in Philadelphia and he kept ducking down to keep from being noticed then popping back up again to see if anyone noticed him. Difficult to judge his height with all of the bobbing and weaving he was doing. It was funny to watch. Anonymous says on 4/Jan/06
I remember him being on a film with Michael Caine and Alda was a bit taller. 6'2'' or slightly over I think. |
