Paul Fix was his co-star in The Rifleman, and is listed as 6'0. Connors is about a "foot" taller, so there's no way Fix was 6'0, unless Connors was 7'0. Just a little aside. As for The Rifleman, I SURE wish the whole series would come out on DVD.

In normal shoes Chuck was easily 6'6", so the 6'5.5" barefoot seems right. Like James Stewart and Alan Napier, Chuck never lost height as he aged. A fine actor, athlete, and gentleman.

People here don't seem to realize that Chuck Connors played center for the Boston Celtics. He later played professsional baseball in the majors. Michael Jordan himself couldn't do that. Connors was the single best athlete to ever star in movies and one of the biggest. His first big film was probably his best, "The Big Country" with Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston - both about 6'2". Peck improbably has a draw in his long boxing match with Heston and then has a brief wrestling moment with Connors. Peck looks a skinny child when rolling around with Connors.

Heston and Connors themselves has a boxing match in "Soylent Green". No amount of movie magic can disguise Connors superior stature and muscularity. Like Clint Walker, Connors was just too damn big to appear on screen with most Hollywood leading men.
