He was 7'3. Hall stated in an interview once (apologies as i can't remeber where the interview was) that he was 7'3 without the Predator costume on but when he wore it (due to the dreadlocks of the headpiece)he was almost 7'7

cody, are you insane? There is NO WAY Hall was remotely close to 6'5", he was much taller. You can just tell. Yes, 6'5" is tall. But he was taller. I don't see how you can possibly claim anything under 7'0" for Hall, at very, very worse 6'10" (and that's assuming a real skeptic because he's taller than)... definitely not as short as 6'5".

Maybe his five other brothers would have a better estimate of his height they are all 6'5''+. Anonymous says on 1/Jul/09
I change my mind. Hall in the Dukes of Hazzard ep. looks easily 9-10'' taller than John Schneider who is in boots and solid 6'3'' as well as Hall must have an 11'' head compared to normal 9.5'' normal guy (5'9'',5'10'')if your a 7 footer its within proportion to his frame and height he must be in the ultra athelitic category he looks only 2 percent body fat and must have weighed 240-245. 7'.5'' at his shortest 7'1.75'' out of bed jordan says on 31/May/09
I also like you, Willie shorter, never got a chance to meet him. But I knew he was more than 7'1".He was really a good actor when he was alive.He was really a gentle giant.. And since he was died, he is always be my lagend! willie shorter says on 21/May/09
I never got the chance to know or meet kevin peter hall but I think he was a wonderful actor and I look up to him. He was definately tall. I also saw nuts about harry on youtube and he looks at least 5 to 6 inches over moll maybe 7 to moll's 6'8'' or 9 inches. Both are big guys. That one episode of dukes of Hazzard when he stood next to either bo or luke. The taller blond haired guy who is 6'4.5'' and only comes up to hall's shoulder. That's really tall, hall was definately well over 7 foot. I would say 7'2''. What a big man. machiell says on 8/Apr/09
He was definitely more than 7 feet. Maybe was 7 feat 2 or 3 in. Sam jefferson says on 1/Apr/09
i thought he was 7 feet tall,In high school he was 6 ft 5. Helen Brodnos says on 24/Mar/09
Dear Cody: I beg to differ with you, but Kevin WAS 7'2. I went to high school with him and also saw him on the set of Misfits of Science. I could stand at my 5'2" and he could rest his elbow on my head. He was one of the sweetest guys you'd ever want to meet. Big Show says on 23/Mar/09

Here's that episode 'Nuts about Harry' from Night Court. Next to Richard Moll I don't see a 7'3" Hall.

If Hall would raise his head a bit I think Moll would come up to his eyebrow. That would be a 4 to 4.5" difference. I think Moll would have a 0.75" footwear advantage aswell because he's in dressing shoes and Hall in slippers. That puts Hall at 7'1.25 at the most, but probably a little less.

7'2.5"/219cm Anonymous says on 23/Dec/08
I use to have Big Top Peewee on tape but skip that on to Kevin Hall's height.
In that movie Hall plays Big John in one scene he is in with Pee Wee and Kris Kristoffersen when the circus performers have a meeting. There Pee wee is on a slight mound and wearing a 5'' top hat at least and is listed at 5'10'' but may be shorter and was listed at 5'11'' then. Hall is a few feet away in that shot who is wearing normal footwear maybe and a 2'' farm hat he looks at least 7-8'' taller taking Peewee's height advantage from the hat and unlevel ground a few inches or more. without the hat Peewee has on he is significantly shorter 13'' at least even if Hall is not quite on level ground so Hall's height would be around 6'11''-7' minus the shoes or boots and if Peewee really is 5'10''. cody says on 21/Nov/08
He actually really was 6 foot 5. He looked much taller in the predator movies and Harry and the Hendersons because of the animatronic head pieces and the elevated foot prosthetics. adam says on 13/Sep/08
Yes, freakishly tall man. Of course it doesnt matter a goddamn thing whether he was 7-2 or 7-3 but I`ve read that he was more closer to 7-2... but what the heck! JesseD says on 8/May/08
He was 7 foot 2. RICHARD says on 8/May/08
I wish he could have been the predator in those two awful AVp films. kbibb954 says on 17/Jan/08
check out the misfits of science on youtube hes def over 7 feet maybe 7 "2 Lazaro says on 21/Aug/07
Its hard to tell because I didn't see him in person. But he was more than 7'2 according to people who worked with him. But his height doesn't matter, what matters is that he was great at what he did, and no one will ever get close. !Hey Predator is all his, the upcoming guys will be learning from him. Hw was a master at suit work. Its a shame he died, he would have done som many movies> But well that's life, at least he's is alive in my house whenever i put his movies to honor his work, and to talk to everyone about him its my pleasure, and to make them see who was behind the mask. Anthony says on 12/Jun/06
Interseting fact about KPH: He came from a very tall family. He was the tallest of his brothers, all of whom were over 6'5. His dad was 6'5, and even his mother was 6'2. Some genes in that family. Shame he isn't with us anymore, he was great. Joe22 says on 26/May/06
How big must hall have been in that predator outfit. He would have been at least 7'6-8" with the added head gear and feet padding, remember when arnie was pinned against that tree by hall as the predator with his feet dangling about a foot off the ground, thats when i realised that that guy must have been like 7'2-3" given arnies a solid 6'1" supes78 says on 23/Feb/06
In that Night Court episode with Hall, he was surrounded by what has got to be the tallest cast ever assembled for a sitcom. Hall shared scenes with 6'4" Harry Anderson, 6'5" John Larroquette, 6'7" James Cromwell, and 6'8" Richard Moll! Of course he was not going to appear as tall as if he were sharing the scenes with people of average height. While they did tout Hall as being 7'4" in the episode, I'd give him around 7'2" with the potential for an extra inch since he did spend the entire episode slouching and ducking under door frames. Alex says on 12/Feb/06
I think hes 7'2. He looked it with ease in Harry and the Hendersons. Wouldn't suprise me if he were close to 7'3 though. Ralph says on 9/Feb/06
I grew up with Kevin, and went to school with him from first grade on. I still have many pictures of him in my elementary school class. we were very close, but grew apart after high school. I watched grow from childhood, and still remember his head touching the clock in the school hallway. He was definitely about 7'2" or so. bob says on 2/Feb/06
I had seen the night court episode again tonight and Hall can only be 7' at the most in the episode with the shoes he had one either half inch or inch shoes.
Just look at him next to Mac who is 6'2" with shoes and he is a good 9 to 10 inches taller putting him at 7'.
They even said he's 7'4" in the episode but there is no way that can be true. Yes he did slouch but that put him around 6'10"-6'11".
John Larroquette is a true 6'4" and 6'5" in shoes. Hall is 6-7 inches taller than him. Moll might be listed at 6'9" but no way is he that tall.
Moll is anywhere between 6'7" and 6'8" with shoes, putting him at 6'7.5" in shoes. He's only a few inches taller than John Larroquette. which is funny how Dan always seemed so scared of him considering he's almost as big as him. Mary says on 31/Dec/05
I went to high school with Peter. I remember that he was nice to everyone, even those that were unpopular. Whenever I think of him, I remember him walking down the hall and his head was as high as the clock. I thought he was at least 7 feet tall. Makanofuji says on 28/Sep/05
I had the privilege to meet KPH during a sneak preview of Predator, which seems like a million years ago! He was wearing sandals with hardly any sole to them. I'm 5'-10" and have played basketball against a lot of guys around seven feet tall. I've also been within a few feet from Shaquille O'Neal; another seven- footer. KPH was as tall as Shaq. supes78 says on 23/Sep/05
That Night Court episode had Kevin stooping and slouching a lot. He played a meek and timid character so you never got to see him stand straight at his full height. sam says on 23/Sep/05
I just find it really hard to believe he was 7 feet even or anything under. He just always looked so huge. He looked just under a solid foot taller than John Lithgow, who has always listed as 6'4". Are you absolutely sure, bob, that the 4 inch difference you saw wasn't closer to a 6 inch difference. I'd stick by 7'2"-7'3". TNTinCA says on 6/Sep/05
Its funny that bob mentioned that Night Court episode. I just happened to catch that exact re-run on the Night Court marathon on Nicket-Night. Sure enough, it had James Cromwell in there as well. I am not sure if bob's memory is hazy of the episode, but Kevin towered over everyone in that show. In the one scene, where he exits the judge's quarters, he stands next to Richard Mole who I believe they list at 6'9". Seems right since Mole's head just scrapes the top of most doors. Kevin is clearly several inches taller and had to stoop to get through the door. I can't say for certain how much of a height disparity existed between Mole and Hall but it was at least 2-3 inches. He is definately over 7' tall. I would say no less than 7'1". sean t says on 24/Jul/05
i dated a girl who was best friends with his daughter.. he was definitely at least 7 feet tall... |
