He's no more than 5'9" in 2010 maybe 5'8" range. He didn't shrink. Rob doesn't count footwear unless it's more than 1/4", so Rolston could be 174cm.

Hi Rob!Why he lost that much height at that young age?I think as being normal person,losing 2,5 cm at 64 years old is a very big fraction,can u explain this?

Editor RobSome people can lose an inch by mid 60's, others make it through with 1/4...can depend on genetics/lifestyle what you lose.

@Rob Do you think he lost anything in the late 2000s or was he still at his peak then?

for some reason looking at him in old movies hi gives the impression that he is 182-183, pretty tall but then when standing beside someone he really isnt that tall. 180 cm peak. today i have no idea, havent seen him in anything last 10 years

Looks like he'd measure around my height, 5'10 is spot on for this guy.

5'9.5" Tops as per Rob's Picture. The 6 foot listing is sad , but typical. Again, Alot of men inflate their height 2" which is absurd, but anything above that is delusional.

Yeah he did look a solid 5 11 or fairly over average even in 90s in departed was showing his age well under leo.
Poor guy never got a very good role but hey always being a weird creepy dude maybe is cathartic.
It worked for old vincent pryce and cristopher lee.

in aliens and a few other old movies he could look 180-82 guy. But in reality i think he was probably 180 cm flat at peak and today down to currnet listing for some reason just by looking at this photo he looks to have lost height

His shoulders are 2.5 inches higher than yours, yet he only looks 1.25 inches taller than you. Weird.

A strong 5ft10 for sure. He has the big frame of a 5ft10+ guy, look at his chest. anything under 5ft10 is plain wrong.

That's surprising, I tought he was short in The Shawshank Redemption, but that's because Tim Robbins is almost 6'5.

@Rob
Rob you can't seriously say theres 2 inches in this picture can you? he looks to be struggling with 5'9 and change... 1.5 TOPS. i put a picture up for you to look at a year or so ago and you told me there was about 1.5 inch difference maybe 2 and the difference was greater than this!! and you say this is 2 inches! it makes no sense!

Editor Rob he looks a 5ft 10 guy but I think he can be one of those guys who lifts himself up a bit more for measuring, kind of walks around shorter than he might measure.

5'9 period. 175cm. If Rob was standing up straight there be an inch in between them. Maybe 5'9.5 on a good day. 5'10.5 is a joke!!

Editor Rob I'd be surprised if he was that tall after seeing him, I think he may have lost half inch though, but then he's not that old.

Editor Rob how much height has he lost?
he's 54, last year I thought he looked 5ft 10 range, if he was 182cm at 54 I doubt he's lost 3cm of height!

Listed usually as 185cm. Does look about 4 inches under Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption. I'd think he should be listed as 6ft. It's suits him.

Dunno, he looked pretty imposing in Aliens. I think he's 6 feet at least. In Shawshank Redemption he looked small next to Tim Robbins, but most actors do. He might've been 6'1.

Just watched Rush Hour.This guy might just be 5'11 at most. He is more than 2
inches shorter than C. Tucker in Rush Hour. (He might be a relative of Ben "I'm 5'11 but claim to be 6'1" Browder)
