Don Siegel made him look smaller on purpose. Looking small and carrying that maniac thing fits it better. I would have guessed 5' 7" tops off the '70 filmed picture if I never met him, but I did and he was taller.

Wow. Definitely didn't look 5'10" in Dirty Harry, he seemed kinda small somehow. Michael says on 16/Jan/10
Looks a tad taller than 5-10 in the photo looks to have about 2.5 inches.
[Editor Rob: I believe he is near 5ft 10 as shown. Call him 179cm with hair yeah, but his skull isn't above that red line!

this guy looks like a mixture between sting and bobby davro but slightly older. he looks a bit over 5'10. JAK says on 13/Jul/09

But to end on an optimistic note, the one thing that will make a person look taller more than all the other elements combined is being thin, and that is of course something we can control
Not necessarily. My dad gets guessed at 6'2 all the time, simply due to his bulk. He's 6'0 in reality. His 6'1 brother, who hunches so badly he is barely 5'10 most of the time, was once guessed at 6'3. Bulk can make you look taller. Misha says on 12/Jul/09
Rob, I know I just posted, but wanted to augment your comment regarding the difference in chin height: factors like these can be significant - here, his chin starts so far above yours that it raises his entire face, elevating his overall height as well. Another thing I wanted to put in the first post: Robinson has all the elements for conveying height - overall thinness, narrow shoulders, fairly long neck, high forehead, etc. Unfortunately most of these elements are cards in the genetic deck that are dealt to us before we are even born, and not something we can attain either by cosmetic alteration or sheer effort. But to end on an optimistic note, the one thing that will make a person look taller more than all the other elements combined is being thin, and that is of course something we can control.

Andy has definitely lost height over the last three decades. He looks like a solid six-footer in "Dirty Harry" and "Charley Varrick", where he gets a lot of screen time with 6'3" Walter Matthau and looks only two or three inches shorter. Robinson is 67, and I'd say he's lost at least a solid inch, possibly close to two inches, since the early-mid Seventies (I assumed he was just over six feet in the two films cited). I haven't seen "Cobra", but the notion that Stallone is taller than Robinson is frankly absurd. Original says on 11/Jul/09
Looks 5'10.5" in a photo. guyfrommars says on 11/Jul/09
Stallone wore HUGE lifts and elevator shoes/boots in the last 30 years to boost his 5ft9 height, so Andy could be 5ft10 and shorter than Sly in that movie. Mathew says on 7/Jul/09
Looks a solid 5'10". RICHARD says on 7/Jul/09
Wow he aged ! I still remember him as Scorpio in Dirty Harry and that father in Hellraiser;come to think of it he was that demented,sadistic barber in Chucky 3. He's a very good actor yet never made it to be a big star like Eastwood. I do remember him being shorter than Eastwood in Dh,but not by much because he looked 5'11-6' next to him but 5'10 sounds good enough for him Joe says on 7/Jul/09
he looks 5'11. rk says on 6/Jul/09
he was a bit shorter than sly in cobra so i'd say about 5'8.5 RisingForce says on 4/Jul/09
Stallone looked slightly taller to me in Cobra, about an inch, but I think Stallone wore cowboy boots. Lynn says on 4/Jul/09
Rob,
sorry to tell you again, but it is impossible for a mature young man as you are do not know your exact height.
You know, 0.25" are a big number, that is around 0.6-0,7 cm.
How tall are you about 6-8 hour after wake up, doing some job, go out for business and than going to the medical office and take your height with a stadiometer?
I don't think that with these conditions you have a range of difference of 0,25". Anonymous says on 4/Jul/09
Looked the same height as Stallone in COBRA. Although he was in an episode of Martial Law in season 2 and he looked 6'4" serious, he was the tallest person in that episode. Lozzer says on 3/Jul/09
Hey Rob, why does this gut seem to look taller than most 5'10 guys? you have pics with? It seems like he is 5'11 on first view but I guess the measurement photo you did defines the difference! :)
[Editor Rob: His head is near 3/4 inch shorter than mine, which means my chin level is lower by 'the difference in height + near 3/4 inch'...
don't go by chin level ;)] Ed says on 3/Jul/09
This is about right...5.10. btw, he was awesome in Dirty Harry and some of you may remember him from Shoot To Kill with Kirstie Alley, Sidney Poiter and Tom Berenger where he played a totally different type of character. guyfrommars says on 3/Jul/09
Pretty average height for a Cardassian. I believe Casey Biggs is ca. this height or half an inch less. Marc Alaimo is 6ft. Vibram says on 3/Jul/09
He looked 5ft10 (178cm) in Dirty Harry as the "Scorpio Killer" back in 1971 and still does...maybe 5ft9.75 (177cm) but no less than 5ft9.5. I wouldn't of recognized him compared to back then. RisingForce says on 3/Jul/09
Going by this picture he's a minimum 5'10" and closer to 5'11" when he wakes up. miko says on 3/Jul/09
Might be a hair under 5"10, could you do one of those height charts alongside him Rob?
I'll say 5"9.75 Brad says on 3/Jul/09
Imagine him in the 70's going on auditions with that extra baggage of being the maniac from "Dirty Harry"?. I met him around ST time, I think he's shorter. |
