6ft 3.5in peak

James Brolin is 6'4, The picture with Brad Garrett was a long time ago, Brad a lot younger, they once asked a guy what is brad garretts height, and the guy said 6'9, and I believe james brolin also said Garrett is 6'8 or 6'9, he is a giant, James Brolin is a big guy himself of course.

Lynne says on 26/Mar/09
this isn't about Brolin' height however I would like to throw this question out to all you James Brolin fans.....I can't believe his hair can be soooo white and have those black,black eyebrows....any suggestions?

Doug says on 10/Feb/09
Funny how the notable big guys like Sutherland, Connery, Hulk Hogan and James Brolin have considerably smaller sons who are oftne not even 6 foot flat. I tower above my father, Kiefer and Jason Connery don't even come close to theirs!! OK Connery's not 6'4" but a lot of 6'4" guys only seem to have 5'11" sons Brolin, Hogan, etc. I'm sure something to do with the genes that taller mothers tend to produce taller sons and taller fathers tend to produce taller daughters e.g Uma Thurmans father is 6'4" etc and a taller father often doesn't mean that the son will be tall. I know that Sutherlands other son is 6'5" as you'd expect but there is a lot of variation in genes I think. There are plenty of average height fathers with tallish mothers who have notably tall sons, Prince William etc..

I've always seen him listed at 6'4". I saw him walking with Barbara Steisand on TV and I have to say he looks it. Minimum 6'3" barefoot anyway perhaps 6'4" in shoes. I'm sure there are a lot of guys his age who'd kill to look like that!!

Hugh says on 28/Dec/08
Looks like he could look a little closer to 6ft4 if he stood straight with Glenn.

I just saw SKYJACKED with Brolin and Charlton Heston(6'3) from 1972. Brolin looked shorter than Mr. Heston most of the time.

according to a old press for playing James Bond ,he was mesured close to 6'2.
next to glen look 6'1.

Anthony says on 14/Dec/07
He was indeed up for Bond.

glenn says on 12/Dec/07
really mike? i never knew that.

sam says on 12/Dec/07
Yes, Mike. No other Bond was well over 6'2" and none certainly were at least 6'3". Whether he would have been convincingly English is another case...

Mike says on 12/Dec/07
This guy almost became James Bond, in Octopussy, before Roger Moore was persuaded to return to the role. Would he have been the tallest Bond ?

glenn says on 18/Oct/07
thanks misha.6-4 huh.wow.

Anthony says on 16/Oct/07
I could see an easy 6'3 for this guy if he straigtened up. 6'4 at his peak was very likely.

Misha says on 14/Oct/07
Glenn, That was a wonderful report on James Brolin - sorry I didn't get back to you sooner - I've been away from the site so long I forgot I'd even posted! That situation with security made me think that the hype and frenzy over these celebs sometimes creates an environment in which it's hard for them to act like real people. It was gratifying that Brolin turned out to be genuinely nice. Viper: "The big question is was he ever 6-4?" Yes, I think if you look at "The Car" (1977) he was stated as 6'4" in those days and looked it, and in the photo with Glenn I just don't see that he's lost much height - maybe an inch max. Observe that he's slightly behind Glenn, is slouching just a little, and that
his eyeline is almost imperceptibly tilted downwards. You guys who have him at 6'2" are being a little stingy with the man's stature. 6'3" seems dead-on.

guy says on 10/Oct/07
He seems like one of those guys thats just big all round. He doesn't seem lanky or leggy like a lot of tall guys. Kind of built like a bear.

glenn says on 8/Oct/07
exactly viper.great pic tom.i didnt post that below rob.find out who that was and ban.the come to think of it post.

guy says on 8/Oct/07
He is s tanding behind Glenn. I might allow another inch if they were side by side. I still think 6'2".

venus says on 7/Oct/07
James is what in his 70's. I used to watch him and Robert Young in Marcus Welby. He was tall, he looked 6'4 to me. He has shrunk since then. I give him 6'2 right now according to the pic above.

glenn says on 7/Oct/07
oh i agree misha.if i say he is 6-3,then its just the pic decieving.

glenn says on 7/Oct/07
misha-im good,you? interesting you bring up the brolin encounter cause i was just as curious as you are being barbara 99 percent of the time doesnt pose and 70 percent doesnt sign.i was afraid it would rub off on brolin and im a huge fan of his mainly from his appearence in the amityville horror.i couldve sworn i had a bad report from a friend of mine,but do remember he posed for one of my friends.so maybe im imagining the bad report.then when i had my minute or 2,twice this night with brolin,i realised the bad report couldnt be further from the truth.one of the sweetest men i ever met.security(the same actual guys that sometimes get in my way)tried there best to block me,but brolin went around them to make sure he posed with me.then after the event,same deal,he is walking down a street,security yelling at me that its enough,brolin notices im 10 feet behind him trying to catch up,he then breaks through security to sign my amityville horror soundtrack vinyl album.i knew id get an interesting respone by asking him the following question "how often do you sign one of these?",he then shocks and delights me by saying "i actually never saw one of those".i was pleased that as usual,i bring out an item a celeb usually doesnt sign.i usually get the same reply.its great when someone you admire is so nice to you.they should all be the same.

It is ludicrous to estimate James Brolin's height as slightly over 6'1" based on this photo. Just compare the photos of Glenn (Hello, my friend - how are you?) with Arlo Guthrie and Michael Caine, who are both probably around 6'1" now - Brolin towers over these guys. David (6/13/06), who is 6'1.5", stood right next to him and thought he was 6'4', So please dump these estimates of 6'1"+. Brolin is also slouching. My guess is he's not substantially under 6'3",
the height that Glenn, standing right there, estimated him to be. I'm also a little curious - Glenn, what sort of person did he strike you as being? I always liked him but was puzzled that he could marry an egomaniac prima donna like Barbra Streisand.

saga says on 7/Oct/07
glenn is leaning too. He looks 186cm so i give him 188cm (6'2") with good posture.

danius says on 7/Oct/07
his back is hunched, hes leaning or something, 6'1 there, add 2 inches and ugget 6'3, terrible posture.

idc says on 6/Oct/07
he looks 6 1"/2" in that picture

ed says on 6/Oct/07
Compare the picture of George Hertzberg who is 6'5'' standing next to a 5'8'' person with this one.(Click Here) Hertzbergs chin comes to the top of the head of a 5'8'' person. James Brolins chin comes to the eye level of a 5'8'' person so there must be a difference of 4-5 inches betwenn Hertzberg and Brolin. That would mean Brolin is nowadays more like 6'1.25''.

guy says on 6/Oct/07
Refer to James Herzberg for a 6'4.5" height. Nothing close. James looks almost sub 6'2" here.

guy says on 6/Oct/07
Looks big here. Seems more a 6'2" guy. Look at his eyeline to the top of Glenn's head. He is definately not 6'4" here that is for sure.

glenn says on 6/Oct/07
maybe he was 6-4 in youth.hmmm.

derek says on 6/Oct/07
I've always seen him listed as 6'4

dwight-howard 6\\'11 says on 6/Oct/07
he's 6'3 got it

Derek says on 5/Oct/07
Looks closer to 6'2".

glenn says on 5/Oct/07
i felt 6-3.i couldve sworn i read 6-3 as well.6-4? was he really mentioned as that?

derek says on 5/Oct/07
i think his peak height was 6'4

Cairo86 says on 5/Oct/07
Not both are standing upright. We must consider Glenn has his body in front of James. As we see it 6ft 1, 1.5 seems reasoned. Compensate for photo angle and 6ft 2 is better.

Matt Thomas says on 5/Oct/07
Nah looks 6'3 here

danius says on 5/Oct/07
6'4?

Schnouzer Breath says on 5/Oct/07
Looks big and imposing (hey, he was PW in bigtop Pewee, after all).

David says on 13/Jun/06
Having stood right next to Brolin, I will go with 6ft 4 in. (I am 6ft 1.5in)
