SO he is somewhere between 5'10" and 5'11", about looking terrible - he is 63 years old, I would expect time will catch up with us all, as far as drinking destroying his career, I looked at his movie list - very impressive, sorry he doesent live up to your personal expectations, I am still in admiration of his works, and expect he is doing now what he has always done - living his life his way.

Believe it or not...I worked on a film with JMV in the summer of 1980. Last PLane Out...in Vero Beach Florida. I was the young boy in the movie who saved the team while in Nicaragua. Luis. All I can say is that he was a very nice person that was very giving. Sorry to see how things turned out. Sad. I wish him only the best. I'm 36 now and I only have fond memoriies of that experience.

Man, JMV is truly sad. I remember all of his movies from the 70's and eighties, etc. He really did seem to have it all. I've seen fairly recent pics of him, too and he's just gone. It's really sad.

I've met JMV in person, and I'm 5'7", and Jan was as tall as me. Today, he has shrunk down to about 5'4" tall, due to his severe health issues. Although he'll be 63 in less than a month, he has the body of an 80-year old from all the drugs and alcohol he'd done. It is sad, but true. And his face is very drawn out,his hair is very thin, and you will not recognize him. I've seen him recently in Mississippi, and he is no longer coherent enough to know what is going on around him. The alcohol has really torn him up. He doesn't even remember me, and we've known each other for over 30 years.

i agree with Anonymous (previous), probably closer to 5'10" though, we all shrink with age, yes, you can say he had it all, i don't think he was as comfortable with his (sudden) fame, as you think, he was very sensitive also, drinking numbs emotions, nerviouness etc, before long it becomes an addiction.

He coulda been a HUGE movie star, but, drank himself out of career. The tales on the set of Airwolf are really sad.

Vincent's right at 5'10", 5'11"'s a stretch, if you've seen Baby Blue Marine, when Richard Gere's character gets him drunk, they stand next to each other, Vincent's actually slouching a bit, but Gere is a strong 5' 10', actually this is tall for actors, he was so thin in his heyday, it probably made him look taller on screen.

5`11 sounds too much for him. He worked with Robert Mithum in Winds of war and I think he was more then two inches shorter than him, and Mitchum was amost seventy in those series. 5`10 at the most

Drank himself out his career much like Doug McClure. "Hooper" was great. I hear they propped him up for many of the scenes.

I remember that scene.

I must back Talker up.Bronson was 5-8 according to all I know who met him.some said 5-7.you know your stuff Talker.

Anonymous says on 23/Mar/06
Talker, where did you get the idea that Bronson was 5'7?? He never looked shorter than 5'10! Some say he was 5'11.

talker says on 2/Oct/05
In "the mechanic",next to 5'7"Bronson he looks about an inch taller.

Timbo says on 2/Oct/05
I think hes 5'8" I heard somewhere. In Hooper he certainly was shorter than Reynolds by about 4". That was even in his heyday.

DP says on 15/Aug/05
Sorry to say but his alcoholism has made him half the man he was during his heyday in the 70's. I doubt he tops 5'-8-1/2" at best. It's sad to see a once vibrant actor being reduced to rubble because of the effects of drinking. If you haven't seen him recently, I doubt you'd recognize him anymore. He's shrunk so much, he can now fit in the bottle he drinks from.

In"big wednesday",when they were young,Gary Busey who is 5'11 1/2" looks at least 2 maybe 3 inches taller than Vincent.There's even a great shot ofthe three them going to face the big wave in the end of the movie where they are walking on the beach,you can see that Vincent was then no more than 5'9".

Mr. R says on 5/Apr/05
Actually, when he first burst on the scene in the early 70's, I remember for a fact that he was listed at 5-11, which may have been a little stretch. I'm sure that he has lost a little moving him towards 5-10.
