Actually no I've no issues with this.

He did look a bit taller than Edward Norton in American History X....so 6ft1in in 1998
182 cm guy says on 12/Aug/10
solid 6'0
Yaspaa says on 1/Aug/10
Avery is tilting his head down though.
Samwise says on 29/Jul/10
I'm not quite seeing 6ft. I see 182cm. Roughly speaking isn't it 3 inches when your eye level is level to someone else's mouth. Granted he has a lot of forehead but also the footwear advantage.
Mathew says on 18/Jul/10
He looks the height listed with Rob.
jb says on 16/Jul/10
He never looked huge in DS9 but then the average cast height was quite tall.
RampageClover 190.8cm says on 2/Jul/10
6ft flat about now
RampageClover 190.8cm says on 29/Jun/10
Definately at least 185cm around the time American History X was made. At least an inch taller than Edward Norton (183cm).

Peak height: 6ft1.25in(186cm), Height: 6ft(183cm)
Hugh 190-192cm says on 3/May/10
He still looks close to 6ft1in.
runt says on 7/Apr/10
The day you realize Avery Brooks is no longer 6-1, and he towers you like a tree...that is an epiphany. It's a different kind of world, you need a different kind of custom footwear...
Jacob says on 2/Apr/10
Looked an inch taller than Norton in American History X, so I reckon he's still 6'1" and maybe had a bad day when you met him, Rob.

[Editor Rob: 10 years on he may have now lost 1cm, that's what I thought]
J.J. says on 10/Mar/10
Looks near 6'0" though
Yaspaa says on 19/Feb/10
He's leaning his head forward slightly but the footwear advantage may equal that out. 183-184
Hugh (191cm/252lbs) says on 12/Feb/10
No! it's more like Brooks 6ft 0.75, Frakes 6ft 3.25 and Shatner 5ft 9
runt says on 2/Feb/10
Kate Mulgrew is 5-10, Avery Brooks, Jonathan Frakes and William Shatner are all 6-1. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

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.
