He has to be taller than that. Rob, all though that article said 6'5", I really think we should put him at 6'5 1/4 even then that underestimating this guys height. He's like 6'6" at least.

Compared to guys slightly over 6 feet like Nick Nolte or Quentin Tarantino, this guys just looks towering. I think he's downplaying his height to 6'5". I think 6'6" or 6'6.5" is probably closer to true peak height.

SERVED WITH HIM IN CUBA DURING THE CRISIS. HE CAME IN TO MY UNIT AND LEFT IN A SHORT TIME. THIS WAS A COMMUNICATION COMPANY.
THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM HE WAS WORKING IN A MENS CLOTHING SHOP IN JACKSONVILLE NC. RIGHT OUTSIDE CAMP LEJUENE. COULD HAVE BEEN A PART TIME THING, NOT SURE.
AGAIN, HE WAS ONLY IN THE COMPANY A VERY SHORT TIME. NO ONE SEEMED TO GET TO KNOW HIM AT ALL. BUT, HE WAS TALL, NOT SURE OF NUMBERS THO. I'M 6FT, HE WAS TALLER THAN I WAS, IF THAT MATTERS AT ALL.

I heard that he was once 6'6"!
Don't know if that is true, but 6'5" is tall itself!

Joe Bob is absolutely right. We were watching the episode with Merlin Olson as the guest star and when Bo Svenson stood next to him, I couldn't believe the difference. Bo is one tall guy!

I know Bo...he's still huge even in his 70's he' atleast 6-5 now. Im 6-2 and he dwarfed me. Great guy.

Bo is over 6'6" because he is slightly taller than Tom Selleck, Fred Dryer and Clint Walker. He obviously 6'6" or 6'6.5" without shoes & probably 6'7" with shoes. I recalled Tom is 6'4", Fred & Clint are both 6.5".

In the "Hunter" episode, Svenson and Dryer are exactly the same height facing each other, but Svenson seems to be wearing cowboy boots and Dryer normal shoes. This was one of the very rare scenes in "Hunter" where Dryer's 6'6" character met an adversary equal to him in height.
