I just watched Marnie and when he first started talking to Tippi Hedren's character, I thought he was still on the first step of the stair or something, but he clearly wasn't.
The guy was huge, he made Sean Connery look small. 6'5"-6'6" sounds right.

Alan did make the 6 ft 2 Bruce Wayne look short in the TV series. tubbs says on 17/Jun/09
Alan was related to Neville Chamberlain former British PM. He looks more or less 6'7" opposite Adam West. Apparently he was from Birmingham, I didn't spot a Brummy accent in Batman! Ryan says on 11/May/09
After seeing him in Batman, as well as in feature films he appears to be closer to 6'7". Doug says on 11/Apr/09
Glad at least one Kid is seeing sense. Why anybody would even want to be as tall as 6'4" barefoot or taller beats me. Suppose its better than being 5'4" but you would be looking pretty freaky in most crowds if you were tall and rake thin like that. Doug says on 11/Apr/09
Definately the full 6'6". He was a human lampost and made even normally big men like Connery and John Wayne look short. Tim says on 25/Jan/09
6 ft 5 in. I would say. Adam West was 6 ft 1 in, not 6 ft 2 in. sam says on 6/Nov/07
I was surprised: in the film Isle of the Dead, Napier looked at most 6 inches taller than Boris Karloff. As always, he still looks taller than everyone. thekiddd says on 5/Aug/07
Well about claiming 6'4" at 6'6". I don't blame him, being beyond 6'4" is too tall even for me. I am about 6'4" maybe a tad less and I pray to god I don't get any taller. So I could king of see why he claimed himself shorter than he actually is, all though I did read many sites claiming 6'5". Bob says on 14/Nov/06
6'6" sounds appropriate for this guy, because in batman he towered over Adam West, and also Cesar Romero. larry says on 11/Apr/06
Napier is Scots, believe it or not. It's a "Norman-icized" name. My name is too: Stewart is the Norman form of Steubhardt. Not SURE what Napier WAS in Gaelic, but there are Napiers from Inverness where my Granddad hales from. Highlanders are inclined to be tall people. "Towering" over others can be kind of WEIRD! At 6'5" and 235 I have been accused of "looming"! :-) I certainly don't intend to "loom". I no longer slump about at my age. Bad for the back. Frank2 says on 9/Apr/06
Somehow I think Sean was no more than 6'1". That would make Napier about five inches taller which is just about the difference I see when I watch that film. Can you imagine being Napier and realizing that all the people you work with are relative midgets? Dave says on 9/Apr/06
He towers over the 6'2'' Sean Connery in Marnie. larry says on 8/Apr/06
Saw the swashbuckler movie Frank2 is referencing a couple of months ago and even in sandles, Mr. Napier was a good bit taller than everyone else. And he was a solid 2" taller than 6'4" Vincent Price in THE SONG OF BERNADETT. 6'6" sounds right & quite a lean gentleman. larry says on 7/Apr/06
He played Alfred the butler in the TV Batman series. Was a good 3-4 inches taller than 6'2" Adam West. Frank2 says on 7/Apr/06
Napier use to lie about his height by claiming he was only 6'4". His terrific height tended to keep him from playing the more choice roles. In Sinbad the Sailor he towered over Douglas fairbanks Jr. and Anthony Quinn. In fact Quinn who was most likely close to 6'2" only came up to Napier's eye level. Fairbanks who was about an even 6' came up to just above his chin. |
