Strong 6 ft, would appear to be 6 ft 1 if he had hair.
feeling down says on 11/Dec/09
are you kidding me? that easily a 6'1+, rob's eyes come to his mouth.

[Editor Rob: well he's almost 6ft.]

jenda says on 22/Nov/09
tall and goodlooking is the perfect fit for my 5 foot frame.
Hugh 191cm says on 26/Sep/09
183-184cm in that pic. I could possibly buy a weak 6ft1.
Moke says on 17/Sep/09
I see 6'1 easily in this picture, Rob.

[Editor Rob: you see an extra inch then :)]
6-0 says on 15/Sep/09
looks about 6 foot and a half, could easily be passed as 6'2" with shoes.
drk says on 9/Sep/09
6'0" at best. another pretender
Hugh 190cm says on 22/Jun/09
Was taller than edward norton so maybe 6ft1ish?

[Editor Rob: in regards the previous comment, yes maybe giving 6ft 1 peak is correct.

But today he didn't look 6ft 1 to me.]
runt says on 21/Jun/09
You wouldn't say 6-1 peak? He's 62 now.
Lenad says on 11/Jun/09
183-184cm
Ed says on 9/Jun/09
This height looks accurate. The guy has a funky sense of style.
guyfrommars says on 9/Jun/09
Looked an inch taller than 6ft Auberjonois and Alaimo. Also looked taller than 5ft11.5 Terry Farrell.
rob89 says on 9/Jun/09
Looks a strong 6'.
J.J. says on 9/Jun/09
Solid 6'0" guy but nothing more than 6'0.5"
Hugh 190cm says on 9/Jun/09
Not quite the full 6ft2 though.
HollywoodFan says on 8/Jun/09
Was once described on an episode of "Spenser For Hire" by Rober Urich's "Spenser" character as 6'2" and 205 lbs. He does admittedly look imposing in stature enough to look at least that tall. In fact, on Spenser for hire, he did indeed appear tobe the exact same height as Robert Urich. Both appeared to be the same height, with Urich perhaps being a tad heavier in weight.
miko says on 8/Jun/09
Over 6"0, but not a 6"1 guy.
Hugh 190cm says on 8/Jun/09
Full 6ft1 and possibly 186-187cm
sidewinder says on 28/May/09
Norton 6, Brooks 6'1 (maybe 186cm.)
guyfrommars says on 10/Apr/09
The cast of DS9 were all nearly the same height:
Avery Brooks - 185 cm
Rene Auberjonois - 183 cm
Alexander Siddig - 182 cm
Terry Farrell - 182 cm (wore the male-version flat boots instead of the female one with small heels)
Colm Meaney - 180 cm
Nana Visitor - 172 cm (179-180 cm in the heels she's wearing)

The exception is shorty Armin Shimerman (166 cm), and tall guys Michael Dorn and Cirroc Lofton (191 cm both).

Marc Alaimo and J.G. Hertzler are also 183 cm, Andrew Robinson 178 cm, Louise Fletcher 175 cm, Casey Biggs 174 cm, Jeffrey Combs 170 cm, Chase Masterson 169-170 cm (plus heels), Penny Johnson 165 cm?, Aron Eisenberg 152 cm.

often looks the same height as Rober Urich...both looked slightly shorter to me that Eric Lasalle in a Spencer episode I just saw again.

"thesource says on 19/Mar/07
I question 6'1" since I just saw an episode of Deep Space 9 (the one where they are cut in with the original show) and he looked significantly shorter than Terry Farrell.."

That's because Farrell was wearing significantly bigger heels than Brooks in that episode (which is actually incorrect, since male and female crewmembers wore the same kind of boots in the original series). That made her 6'2"-6'2.5" and her '60s hairstyle also made her appear taller.

Avery is 6'1 alright - but that makes Norton who looked a solid inch shorter in American X the six foot even I'd always thought he was. You'll have to change that one, Rob.
Austrian says on 1/Dec/06
i have no problem with 6'1 / 6'2 for him
CC-Tron says on 25/Sep/06
He never looked 6'2. Even back in his days as Hawk on 'Spencer for Hire'. I think he's no more than 6'0. I'd give him 5'11 though.
Editor Rob says on 24/Sep/06
Another 1989 philidelphia article "He's an imposing man, just under 6-feet-2"
MHouillon says on 14/Jun/06
Avery Brooks was a legitimate 184cm (6'0.5") during DS9 and "Americsan History X"
Tave Hawkins says on 2/Apr/06
No way! I'm 6' tall. He might be 5'11 at best.
BradPittisshort says on 5/Feb/06
" In American History X he squared up to Ed Norton and there really wasn't much between them"

Are you nutz? I just saw American history X 5 mins ago and Avery Brooks is at least 2-3 inches taller.
Watch the end of the film when they are face to face in the cafe.

[Editor Rob: yes I've seen it...but considering postures didn't see much difference to me...]
