Just watched They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! (1970). He is clearly shorter then Sidney Poitier. And i must agree that he's peak height was 6'2, even that is in doubt. Bob says on 11/Mar/11
Go to youtube.com check out "Live It Up With Peter Lupus" He is talking about how he didnt realize how tall Martin Landau is until he and Greg Morris stood back to back and noticed that Landau is slightly taller.
Lupus said you never knew how tall Marty is going to be that day because he slouched or bent over Mr.V says on 25/Feb/11
In the official "Mission : Impossible dossier " Greg Morris is described as a handsome 6'2 . I believe he was probably a strong 6'2 , like 189 cm , as he could sometimes look as tall as Peter Graves with his big hair . Greg also looked taller than 6'2 listed Sam Elliott in the show .
I agree that Martin was a solid 6'2 at his peak . He was noticeably taller than Stuart Whitman in the horrible "Shadows in an Empty Room" . Shadow2 says on 24/Feb/11
Bob, can you give us an internet link to that recent photo of Martin with Peter Lupus? Bob says on 22/Feb/11
If you watch Mission:impossible then Peter Graves always appeared taller than Landau but they were actually the same height at 6'3" in shoes. Pete wanted to appear taller to be like his brother James Arness who is about 6'6" not 6'7" and Martin has always been considered too tall for co-starring roles at 6'3".
Peter Lupus is 6'5" in shoes, a recent photo shows that Landau is two inches shorter.
Peter 6'3"
Martin 6'3"
Morris 6'3"
Lupus 6'5"
Tall cast Shadow2 says on 19/Feb/11
Bob's comments support Rob's peak height for Martin at 6'2", an inch shorter than his "Mission Impossible" co-star, 6'3" Peter Graves. Bob says on 16/Feb/11
Martin is 6'3" in shoes when he stands straight but he has always downplayed his height to get acting roles. Ive met him a few times over the years and he's over 6' but can appear 6'1" to 6'3" depending on his posture. He's a character actor and the actors who are taller than the leads dont usually get the leading roles.
Martin is 6'2" barefoot and 6'3" in his shoes. guyfrommars says on 25/Jan/11
Former Desilu executive Herb Solow described Landau as "well over six feet". I guess he was in the 6'1" - 6'2" range, but could really came through as a big guy, especially in Space: 1999 with that disco footwear. Mr. Kaplan says on 24/Jan/11
Never 6'2". Strong 6'1", that's it. arnie says on 3/Jan/11
I don't think it's possible he got 3 inches smaller, altough he is a massive sloucher, altough he did look about half an inch shorter than 6'2 Jim Carrey in The Majestic. jake says on 27/Dec/10
Yes I was perplexed by the 6' 3" listings when he was clearly shorter than 6 ft 1-ish Michael Caine in the film Shiner (2000). He can't have ever been 6' 3". Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 25/Dec/10
Did look 6"2 in his prime
Rob what do you mean your unsure?
[Editor Rob: now he looks under 6 foot] Shadow2 says on 15/Dec/10
Martin was never a "strong" 6'2" presence alongside the "strong" 6'3" of Peter Graves. I think he was more likely 6'1.5". He looks this in a "Gunsmoke" episode alongside Graves' brother, 6'7" James Arness. jtm says on 2/Dec/10
6'1 at his prime. Mr.V says on 2/Dec/10
6'2 is the height I always estimated Martin at . One inch shorter than his Mission co-star Peter Graves , who stood 6'3 .

The two are shoulder against shoulder and both standing straight : there seems to be only a one inch difference between them . I agree that sometimes Peter Graves could look a good couple of inches taller because he had much better posture . |
