Bill Duke's Height
6ft 4 (193 cm)
Peak height was 6ft 4 ½ (194.3 cm)
American actor and director, best known for films such as Predator, Exit Wounds, Commando, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Payback, Deep Cover and A Rage in Harlem. In a 1990 Orange County Register article he says of directing: "There are certain people that aren't used to being told what to do by a 6-foot-4-inch, 220-pound black man who is a director. I'm supposed to be either robbing their car or opening their door". In a 1980 news article in Clarion-Ledger, he was described as "6-foot 4 1/2"

I’m six feet five, if you were black and big you were not allowed to play not a gladly or platinum ceiling, in terms of the roles you could play. I think I scared a lot of people with my size and just being dark skinned, but I’m a person who laughs a lot. The media at that time saw me as threatening.

Bill reminds me rather of the juju man from the film The Devil Rides Out! There was also a juju in American Horror Story. They are enormous!
Even at his huge height of 6ft4.5, Bill would need to have quite a few extra inches to be as big as these freaky spirit men!

Click Here Here's Bill with 6ft2 listed Forest Whitaker,now Bill is hunching and still looks over 6ft4 in comparison, imagine if he was standing tall he would look an easy 6ft5.This guy definitely needs to be upgraded.

Well he is stood by Don Cheadle. He was definitely taller than Seagal in Exit Wounds. Benicio really looks to have lost a lot of height and looks bloated in that photo, he's not looked healthy since the mid 90s anyway though, sallow skin, must be a heavy smoker and drinker.

Bill still looks insanely tall, he looks to have a lot of height in a line that includes Jon Hamm and Benicio del Toro, of other over six footers.

@MrTBlack: yea I think a bit over. I’m sure he measured 6’4.5” just not sure what time of day. Could be a lunchtime height or even an afternoon but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s only 2 hours out of bed either. He’d be similar with me in his peak at least within 1/4” of me

@Canson
I’ve seen him listed as 6’6” which sounded a bit asinine to me but I definitely think being slightly over 6’4” was possible for him.

Bill Duke's figure is indeed very strong, but when he and Arnold meet again next time, will there be awkward scenes?
I believe he is strong 6'4"

Honestly I watched predator a good 30 times when real young and I always thought he was of average height or even below I was shook when I saw him towering Arnie in commando years later and even more so to learn he was over 194cm. Guess as a child height was never something I noticed.

Very big guy odd his height claim was a bit skewed but the weight seems to low he was a thick guy.
Id guess max height 6 foot 5 easily with normal footwear maybe peak in am and 245 average weight.
Arny was 6 1-2 and 275 and duke was much taller and never looked thin hed have to be like mj to be 220.

this guy never looked shorter than 194. the average guess seems little low. i think he could have been 195 cm on good days and strong 194 guy on bad days.

Gear didnt look 5'10 with him I thought taking into account his hair advantage but maybe I am underestimating how big 6.5 inches is?

I guess he's one of those guys who downgrades his peak height (at least according to Google). Although he may be around 1-2 cm shorter than Tony Todd. 1.27 cm to be exact.

Dmeyer he looked about 6'5.5 (196,5-97?) Minus 3cm this would be maybe 6'4.25?
He looked about the same as Jack Conley in Payback so solid 6'4 maybe 6'4.25.

Yes, correct Rob. Duke sure looks more than three inches taller (if we say that Holloway is 6-1 which is minimum for him and I think he is closer to 6-2). And by then Duke could have even shrunk a bit.
And I`d like to repeat again that in Commando he towered over Arnold "almost 6-2" Schwarzenegger by about four inches or so. Come on man, it would be a very fair decicion to add at least one inch to the guy`s peak height.

Duke looks at least an inch more, possibly two. And he has very very likely shrunk. Definitely 6-5 in his youth.

Well Viper, you can judge his height with the aid of one pic. I judge his height with the aid of many many movies.
If Duke is a weak 6-4 then how tall is Arnold? You are one of those wackos who think he was 5-10 peak? Watch Commando. Made in 1985. Both men, Arnold and Duke where in their prime. And Bill Duke looked a good 3-4 inches taller than the 6-2 Arnold.
If Duke is only 6-4, then Arnold is barely an even six feet peak and Josh Holloway the same height! But Arnold is a close 6-2 just like Holloway. And Duke is minimum 6-5. The fact that person claims only 6-4 (which in many ways is commonly considered as the best height) doesn`t mean that he could be taller. Hell, if I were like let`s say 6-5

Magic is no taller than 6-7. Hes barely taller than Charles Barkley. Bill Duke looks to be 6-3 1/2 - 6-4 next to him. And Magic would look even taller with better posture.

It isnt always the best way to judge height by looking at one photo. Especially when there is some basketball guy.
Come on... Jesus: Arnold was a very close 6-2 and Duke appeared AT LEAST a solid 3 inches taller than him. Watch Commando. In Predator Governor wore lifts.
Frank2, Im not always on your side but now you have it right: At least 6-5. Definitely. Rob, time to upgrade. No way in hell that he is only 6-4. Bill Duke thinks (like many many others..) that "6-4 is an awesome height, I`ll say that! Im taller but 6-4 sounds perfect, I`ll stick with that!"

larry bird is more than 6'9', looks like a solid 6'10, the correct height of Magic is 6'8', 203 cm. i saw him in many pictures standing close to players in the range of 6'6'-6'7' and you can see that is taller than them. isaw larry many times taking the position for the rebound against James Worthy, that he was listed 6'9', and he towered on him.

Or it could be that Ventura isn't 6-4. I first thought so too, but I got proved wrong when I found out that he appearently always wore large boots in the 80s.

I say 6'5" at peak. I seem to recall that he looked a little taller than 6'4" Jesse Ventura in Predator and he definately looked about 3-4" taller than Ahnold in Commando. He has probably lost a little bit of height over the years, which explains for the 6'4" appearance with Magic Johnson.

I saw him a few weeks ago in Hollywood at a club. 6'4" is correct.

Just watched "Exit Wounds". Duke hulks over Steven Seagal in finale. Assuming Seagal is 6'4"... which seems very realistic... Duke is taller than listed. Very huge man.

hey this is the same poster from earlier, and know I dont think there is 2 in ces between them, it actually looks like there is atleast 4! Maybe bill has shrunk over the years. As for arnold comared to that 6'3" guy I am going to have to check that movie out again. But I do remember the man having a longer body however arnolds head was much larger and it couhgt up to him.

Magic isnt 6-9 Richard. Hes 6-7. Its pretty widely known now. He was always 2 inches shorter than 6-9 Larry Bird in their legendary matchups.

Magic Johnson is 6-9 not 6-7. That picture with Bill Duke he is slumped over and not fully erect. Check Magic bio from college and NBA profile or get a photo of him and Bird standing together. Standing the same darn height. I guess you all be saying Karl Malone isn't 6-9 also..haha

Anonymous, if you think there was only 1 inch between Arnold and James Olson in Commando then you need glasses pronto.
Viper, there's very easily 3 1/2 inches between Magic and Bill. Our Anonymous friend will probably say 2.

Jason, how many inches do you see between Bill and Magic? I see 3-4. Could be marginally under 6-4 like you say.

"Arnold was also 2-3 inches shorter than 6'3'' James Olson who played General Kirby."

Bill seemed a good 3 inches taller than Arnold in Commando. Arnold was also 2-3 inches shorter than 6'3'' James Olson who played General Kirby.
Seagal is well known for wearing big footware.

Its funny I always thoguht that hsi 6'6" height listing was actually legit, I mean he looked huge in commanddo, he was the tallest guy in predator and he also looked quite a bit taller then steven seagal who I always believed to be a legit 6'4"
He is def the most legit 6'4" in hollywood taller then all of the other who are listed at 6'4"

Oddly enough, in Predator, he did not seem that tall. I have a suspicion they used some interesting camera angles to convey that effect and to give the impression that Arnold and Jesse were the big boys.

yes --he had arnold by a solid 2 inches. Even if arnold is not 6'2 and he is 6'1 1'2. Bill is still at least 6'3 1/2. Prolly 6'4.

He always seemed more than 6'4". In Commando, he was significantly taller than Arnold, who was without a doubt 6'2" at the time.
