DeEs, have a look at "Marnie" with Sean Connery, "Big Jim McLain" with John Wayne, and TV's "Batman" with Adam West, and get back to us again on Alan's height. You may be surprised! DeEs 5-11 and 3/4 says on 10/Apr/11
hmmmm. theres an old Alfred Hitchcock presents called the Avon Emeralds i think. where Roger Moore stars in with Alan. seemed to have a solid 3-4 inches on Moore. Moore was 6'1- 6'1 1/2 then so maybe Alan was 6'5ish?i got a 6'4 1/2 impressions from him but no more than 6'5 1/2. Shadow2 says on 17/Jan/11
Thanks for that reference. I've seen Alan and Fess together in another episode and they were almost eye to eye. Fess was very tall and recently was upgraded by Rob to 6'6". I've seen him look even taller, perhaps he had the edge on Alan. I don't think anyone doubts that Alan was a true 6'6". Anonymous says on 12/Jan/11
TO SHADOW2 CHECK OUT YOU TUBE (DANIEL BOONE FINAL PART) WITH ALAN NAPIER. FESS IS AT LEAST 1 INCH TALLER THAN ALAN. Shaun says on 2/Jan/11
He looked 3-4 inches taller than John Wayne in Big Jim Mclain. Shadow2 says on 25/Dec/10
Sorry duder, if what you say is correct, then Sean Connery, Fess Parker, Adam West, and Cesar Romero would all have to be downgraded by 1.5". I think Alan is one of those rare men who never lost height as he aged. He never became stooped or put on weight, and seemed still the same height some years after "Batman" finished, as he approached his 70's. James Stewart is another example of someone keeping their peak height throughout their life. duder says on 22/Dec/10
whats up, despite how tall he looked in batman he was actually 6'4.50" his peak height was 6'6" though... Shadow2 says on 21/Nov/10
He sure was. He made his Batman co-stars look short, being 6'1" Adam West (6'2" in costume as Batman) and 6'2" Cesar Romero as the Joker. Around this time Alan also appeared with 6'1.5" James Garner in the war movie "36 Hours", and with same sized 6'6" Fess Parker in "Daniel Boone". Mr. R says on 20/Nov/10
Was this the same guy who played Alfred in The Batman tv show in the 60's? Shadow2 says on 18/Nov/10
Many thanks Gonzalo for the great photograph of Alan and Connery from 1964's "Marnie". I'm wondering if you could also post it over on Sean Connery's page. It might remind a few contributors there that Connery was always 6'2" peak (188), not 6'3" (190.5). Gonzalo says on 15/Nov/10
Napier looking much taller than 1`86-88 Sean Connery. Napier is closer to the camera

Ted only started doing TV and movies in 1964, with Richard Kiel first appearing about 1960. From 1950 to 1960 Alan was joined in Hollywood by 6'7" James Arness and several other 6'6" actors, including Chuck Connors, Fess Parker, Clint Walker, Buddy Baer, and Don Megowan. |
