This guy could have been a much bigger star had he laid off the drugs and booze. He was the '70s version of Brad Pitt. He did his best work between 1972 and 1978--starring or co-starring in a string of solid, culty B films.

I think 5'10 1/2" is a bit much for him. He co-stars aside the great Charles Bronson in 1972's THE MECHANIC. During the scene in which Bishop and Steve are attending the latter's father's funeral, they are standing side-to-side wearing similar footwear. I would say that JMV has about 1" on Bronson. Assuming Bronson was 5'8"--which I believe he was for most of his life--JMV was no more than 5'9".
