One of the most menacing looking villains to grace the screen--I always wondered why he didn't become a bigger star. Probably best known as The Night Slasher from COBRA. He's a tall guy, and totally stacked--I think he's taller than 6'2", Rob. In COBRA, he towers over everybody--I think 6'3" is more accurate for Thompson.

P.S.--I've seen him listed at anywhere from 6'2" all the way to 6'5", but I think he's spot-on at 6'3".

I met him in seattle in '89 i was 6'4" he was around the same height maybe half an inch shorter he was also really built and big maybe 6'2" now but he definitely was altleast 6'3" in the late 80's

I met the imposing 6'3" Brian at a large club in Chcago during a very crazy party night, crowded shoulder to shoulder.
I was at the Bar, and getting annoyed at some guy pressing me up against the bar. I could tell he was tall because his scapula(some call the wings on a person's upperback) were almost completely above mine, digging into my lower neck! I'm 6' tall barefoot, well, now 5'11.5, too much powerlifting.
My brother is 6'2" barefoot, and is quite tall in person, but BRIAN was taller, I was nick-named as "Tapeworm" in a large Gym in Westchester, NY for my obsession with knowing key measurements of all forms of athletes.( I'm an artist that specializes in Anatomy, which is part of why ).
he's also quite Large, I have been complimented many times by other lifters for my big forearms, Brians dwarfed mine. Actually larger than Anols' by at about 2 inches, mine are 1/4 inch smaller than Arnold S.'s and hest 2 inches taller than I.But that's the only part near as large as he is.
brian told me he was 6'3" after I asked due to how tall he appeared in the Club.
I don't believe he was being serious with the Magazine article, why I don't know, but I know a bunch of 6'4" guys and he's close, so bottom line, he's definately over 6'2".
I have only been wrong at guessing heights of athletes twice of over 100 estimates.
A long explanation to give any who care the picture of how & why I believed him in 2004.
Cheers
I turned to complain, only to smile and hooler hey your Brian Thompson, From The X-Files, BUT his 1st MAJOR Exposure in Film was a very very often seen part in the Original TERMINATOR.
He's the (then thin due to running a marathon that same day,and training for it for weeks.Which is why he weighed 190 Lbs. in Terminator (1984)at 6'3"

If you look at his scene in Joe Dirt, he is really leaning over while walking towards the house with Spade. I would easily place him at 6'2 at the least, even considering how much Spade likely exaggerates his own height. Thompson was probably about an inch taller back in the 80s.

haha ashnar, then why would he claim 6'2'', how oblivious are you?
