If you listen to the commentary on the DVD of "Conan the Barbarian"..Arnold actually states, 6ft4 as james height..he really isn't that much shorter than sven ole thorsen in the movie, unless he was given lifts!.

I work for the company that service's James Earl Jones house. I been there and met him. The guy is 6'1. Im 5'10 and he is taller than me.

I met him at the Baseball Hall Of Fame, definitely appeared the same height as my roughly 5"11 brother, but he is pretty old.

Appeared 6-3 when I was 18.

Anthony says on 4/Sep/06
I always thought he was, like, 6'3, but I think that's because of his big build as well as the fact he has a very impsing and thus larger than life presence onscreen. Badass actor as someone said, definitely one of my favorites.

Rob, what is the source of that quote?

He looked slightly taller than Kostner in Field Of Dreams. JEJ is a badass. One of the greatest.

Recently in interview, "I’m 6-1 and know nothing about sports"

In my own personal observations of his movies, I suspect James Earl Jones was taller than 6'1"... certainly 15+ years ago. More in the 6'2"+ range.

When I worked with him back on the film Swashbuckler he was at least 6'1". They had to put lifts in Robert Shaw's boots so he wouldn't look that short next to him. Jones was about Kevin Costner's height in Field of Dreams.
