Pretty sure OJ was 6" 1 actually, that's what he got listed at. Nielsen was not at least 6ft 1, he was at the VERY MOST 6ft 1, probably 184 cm peak.

I met him in 1981 at a golf course in Oklahoma. I am 5'9 and he was shorter than me. Bow legged. He was a funny man.
6'1" are you serious! Honestly he looks 5'9" MAX in his old days films. Untill the age of 70 man can shrink about 3-4 cm (1-2")max. So I think he was about 5'10" in his youth Danimal says on 28/Nov/11

He shrank significantly by the time he made the Naked Gun movies. He was about 5'10" in those.
He was at least 6'0" in the Naked Gun movies. His 2 coworkers were 6'2" (OJ Simpson) and 6'4" George Kennedy. He was a weak 5'11"/strong 5'10" by the time of his death.
Wrong. Watch him in Creepshow with Ted Danson (filmed in 1981) and Ted Danson who was 6'3" PEAK had not even 2" on him. 5'9"-5'10" is a joke. He was at least 6'1" in his younger years. Danimal says on 28/Nov/11
Oswald says on 27/Nov/11
Look at him in the early "Thriller" with Boris Karloff episode. 5'9 to 5'10 tops.

In the naked gun movies he looked 5ft11 at best. No way was he ever over 6ft1 Larc 6 ft 1.75 in says on 28/Sep/11
6'1 peak, 5'10.5 at his death, great actor and very funny guy by the way. guyfrommars says on 4/Aug/11
He was 6'1" in his prime, no shorter. 5'8" Anne Francis wore heels in Forbidden Planet and still looked quite short next to him. And Nielsen was nearly as tall as 6'2" Walter Pidgeon. Danimal says on 3/Aug/11

He was not shorter than you 30 years ago. In 1981 he was almost as tall 6'3" Ted Danson (watch Creepshow, which was filmed in 1981). He was at least 6'1" at that point of his life. Randy says on 3/Aug/11

his 6ft2 claim is invalid. If he was 6ft2 then Peter Graves was 6ft4.5 Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 23/Apr/11
Rob how valid is his 6"2 claim?
[Editor Rob: I believe he did measure himself 6ft 2, but maybe in shoes.] Lenad is sexy says on 4/Apr/11
6'1 -ish in the younger days. Probably between 5'10 and 5'11 by the time of his death Lenad is sexy says on 26/Mar/11
he never looked as tall as 6'2 in his prime. 6'1 prime i can buy Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 22/Jan/11
Actually 6"1 is on target...6"2(188cm) in shoes Shaun says on 25/Dec/10
I noticed he was 2-3 inches shorter than then 6'3" Peter Graves in Airplane! SO I'd say somewhere between 6'0 and 6'1". Lenad is sexy says on 13/Dec/10
184cm prime Lenad is sexy says on 5/Dec/10
i doubt he was ever taller than 6'1 MHouillon says on 3/Dec/10
One of my childhood heroes, thanks to the naked gun.
Tried to catch him in Hamburg in 1998 during a promotion tour, but missed him. Now I miss him even more.
Rest in peace, Sergeant Frobisher/Lieutenant Drebin. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 1/Dec/10
6"1.25(186cm) in his day, Rob? Danimal says on 30/Nov/10
RIP funny man. linke says on 30/Nov/10
didnt know that he passed away.RIP walker says on 29/Nov/10
I was thinking that a week ago that he was gonna die soon Mr. R says on 29/Nov/10
Yeah, I go with 6-1. His press in the 50's and 60's said 6-2, but that is a little high. Airplane is one of the funniest movies ever! Mamun says on 29/Nov/10
Rest In Peace and may GOD Bliss your Soul to eternal paradise !

Whatever the height, shirley he will be missed jtm says on 29/Nov/10
rip lesile nielsen. he was a great actor and comedian. i always enjoyed watching him. i would say 6ft at his prime and 5'10 in his older years. Shaun says on 29/Nov/10
"North American Actor from Naked Gun. ". ROb, PLEASE just say he was Canadian. He was a Canadian actor. How would you like it if you were a Scottish actor and somebody referred to you as a "Northern European actor." He was Canadian.. Shaun says on 29/Nov/10
Did look 6'1" legit in his prime, looked nearer 5'11" in his older years though. RIP. What a legend!! Funniest actor to ever grace to the screen in my view. Jim says on 29/Nov/10
