Actually Dwight Schultz was 6'1.5" John Jay says on 19/May/08
MR T was the man , he looks like a solid 5'10 through most of his career, 5'9.75 now a days and on the ATeam mabey 5'10.5 he does seem the shortest of the four with Dirk being only a tad taller , Peppard being the third tallest and Dwight Shultz the tallest at 5'11.75 or 6'.
Sid says on 19/May/08
Also quote from "The world's toughest man" action movie from 1984, the man is taking his physical, and the man says sex height weight, to which Mr.T replyz 'MAN, FIVE ELEVEN, TWO THIRTEEN' (MALE 5'11" 213LBS) Daniel says on 26/Apr/08
B.A. Barackus was the shortest one of the A-Team. I wouldn't give more than 5'10'' to him, which is a very respectable height and not short at all. glenn says on 11/Apr/08
you here alot of 5-8 stories for this guy too.maybe he lost height? he was ill.but i agree with 5-10,5-11 peak.in fact my friend always meets him.and he seems 5-10 at least in the pics.i thought in dc cab he looked 5-11. JOSH says on 10/Apr/08
He looked just a touch taller than stallone say half an inch or something in rocky 3. A definite 5ft 10 inches. Yaspaa says on 7/Mar/08
Bernie Mac or is it Bernie Mick? Ron Simmons says on 5/Mar/08
Lester, you a fool, I'm glad i'm not related to you, or Richard, Mr. T is 5'10" and no more, nowadays 5'9 1/2", the guy looks short man. It's the mohawk that adds a couple inches. Gigi says on 4/Mar/08
I saw Mr. T back in 2000 and stood right next to him. I was shocked at how much shorter he was than what I thought. His feet were tiny too. I'm 5'3" and my money is on that he can't be more than 5'8". Bernie Mac says on 28/Feb/08
watch it Mr. T, don't be talking about me, just kidding, Anyway I met Mr. T back in Chicago where we grew up, the guy stand about 5'10 1/2, used to wear all that bling, real friendly with women and children. lester simmons says on 31/Jan/08
on i pity the fool i saw his license, it said 6-1, 247 lbs. I don't believe it, 5-11 is more accurate Socom says on 24/Dec/07
I'll give him 5'10, but NO WAY 5'11. That is a stretch. Anonymous says on 15/Dec/07
Mr. T looks about 1-1.5" taller than Sly in Rocky III, who in my opinion is an even 5'10". I'd say that Mr. T was 5'11", maybe 5'11.25", in his peak. Socom says on 7/Dec/07
Mr. T is probably closer to 5 ft 9.5 in. Danimal says on 16/Sep/07
It would be interesting to see Sly TOWER over Mr. T nowadays, ever since Sly had his legs lengthened. JayDee de Escocia says on 15/Sep/07
Listen Fool - it don't matter what height the T-man is. He is obviously pressed down by the sheer weight of gold bullion hanging around his neck. Also, if you were trying to get into a club and he told you you weren't on the list - would you argue??? Mr.T says on 30/Aug/07
Stfu don't be dissing the T. I saw him in real life, and happened to see dat he was lik 7 feet 2, and 400 lbs of muscle, dat was like a week ago. He came over to my house and we started killing people with his golden chains. He let me keep most of thems Lloyd Banks says on 14/Aug/07
He is NOT close to 5'10. I saw him in the airport many years back and I was taller than him by clearly a few inches and I am 5'11. dmeyer says on 14/Aug/07
he waas an easy 3 to 4 cm on sly Bleemo says on 3/Jul/07
The thing about T is he mostly looked 1 inch shorter then Dirk Benedict who I peg at 5'10.5/179cm in his prime. Dirk in turn was an inch shorter then peppard who was definately a wee bit shorter then his prime 6' height. We pretty much have Dirk down pat as being between 5'10-5'11 from various people meeting him and I agree he looks like a medium sized guy. So that would have pegged T at 5'9.5" back in the day. Yet a lot of times he seems shorter still and has even said in his own words "Mr T was heavy once but never a tall man", lifts?
Notice they used camera tricks to compensate the fact BA was supposed to be a tall bulky man and T was just bulky;

Also in this pic I think if you take off the mohawk Mr T is about 2 inches shorter then Peppard. I have peppard at 181cm approx at this time based on him being almost an inch shorter then Ernie Hudson in the episode "Taxicab wars" but in the same episode he has a marginal advantage over 180cm Michael Ironside.
Click Here Rhino says on 19/May/07
I'm not 5'10" and walk past him at a bike show several years back.No way the guy is anymore than 5'8" , and that is being generous. Anonymous says on 18/May/07
I went to Madam Tausauds in London in 1987 and they had his wax figure there. I was 5'8 at the time and i stood facing him and we were eye to eye! I was shocked how short he was (if the figures are real sizes) so i would say he is 5'8 or 5'8.5 barefoot. He did and still looks short on TV. dmeyer says on 29/Apr/07
sly is aleast 3 cm smaller so 5'9 no less no more glenn says on 9/Apr/07
well,5-8 i heard too and believe he can look it.though his peak was 5-10. Viper says on 8/Apr/07
Ive read 5-6-5-8 sightings on a couple of message boards before. Not height related ones. glenn says on 8/Apr/07
a blind man. Danimal says on 8/Apr/07
Who ever sighted Mr. T at 5'6"? CC-Tron says on 19/Mar/07
Bryant Gumbel is listed as 5'9 on this site. Mr.T seemed 2 inches taller than him in 1980. 5'10.5 is close enough. Viper says on 7/Mar/07
Its amazing how Mr. T gets sighted at 5-6-5-8 regularly. dmeyer says on 6/Mar/07
he did look easy 1.5 in taller than sly so 5'9 for sly Aussie Bloke says on 9/Feb/07
He looked a good 2-3 inches taller than Sly Stallone in Rocky 3, does that mean Sly is 5ft7-5ft8, or is Mr T Taller????? CC-Tron says on 30/Jan/07
Viper I saw the interview on TV Land and I have it on my computer. I'll see if I can post some pic(s) from it on photobucket or something. It might be on YouTube though. The interview was during a contest for the best bouncer in the USA. It led to Mr.T getting the Rocky III role. Viper says on 29/Jan/07
CC-Tron, is that interview on youtube? the shredder says on 29/Jan/07
Rob , so 5'11 is his claim ??? "5ft 11...When I'm not standing on my money" ... for sure closer to 5'10 then ! CC-Tron says on 12/Jan/07
Mr.T appeared 2 inches taller than Bryant Gumbel in 1980 interview. How tall Bryant Gumbel? Anonymous says on 12/Jan/07
My friend who is a producer of his reality show, puts him "tallish", no shorter than 5'10" (she's 5'6") Jordan says on 26/Dec/06
Yeah the T isnt any talle then 5'10. He could be 5'9 but I heard he is really a nice guy in real life. But dam he made you hate him in Rocky 3. Shows how good he can act I guess. the shredder says on 23/Dec/06
5'8-5'9 seems a bit low for him . although i think hes 5'10ish , i don't hes anymore then that ! even Rob thinks hes 179cm maxinimum ... i think 178cm or just 5'10 is where he would be best at ! go for it Rob ! Glenn says on 12/Dec/06
That sounds right. D.L. says on 12/Dec/06
met mr T. a few years ago at a bar my band played at...Really nice guy; took time to meet and take pic with everyone, said his catch phrase a bunch of times, too. But he is no taller than 5' 9". I'm 5' 10 1/2" barefoot, and he was at least a couple inches shorter than me. MHouillon says on 6/Nov/06
Mr. T WAS 179cm, todays he IS 177cm (5'9.5) Chris says on 19/Oct/06
Mr T was awesome on that programme, I don't remember him saying any of that but probably because I was too dazzled with him. Danimal says on 13/Oct/06
He didn't appear THAT short on Conan a few years ago. He was all decked out in Silver and was dancing!! It was hilarious. they were playing with his old A-Team doll and Mr. T said you know when I don't wear much jewelry it means that I'm not making enough movies and T.V. shows. He has a great sense of humour. Conan LOVED him. MHouillon says on 12/Oct/06
It's because everyone expects a minimum of 6'1" (185cm) for Mr. T. Then, when they see him and discover, that he's 177cm (5'9.5") these days, they say "wow, you're small!" He is and was never 5'8. Viper652 says on 6/Oct/06
I dont know, maye he has shrunk? He said he actually looked shorter than 5-8 most of the time because he hunched over a lot. Weird. MHouillon says on 5/Oct/06
No, he is not 5'8, fool ! During the A-Team-time and Rocky III he was 178cm-179cm, (just look at the close-up pic with Sylvester "big-lifts" Stallone, who is 173-174cm, and is with lifts almost T's hieght. Nowadays "B.A." is not under 177cm (5'9.5), more a weak 5'10 (178cm). Chris says on 3/Oct/06
What you sayin', fool. Everyone knows Mr T. used to wear some jewellry in his boots. Viper652 says on 29/Sep/06
I think hes closer to 5-8 now. I know a friend who met him recently who said hes around 5-8. Glenn says on 16/Sep/06
I never met T.my friends met him a bunch.he is more a west coast guy. Glenn says on 15/Sep/06
You met these guys Bill? both are around 5-10. bill says on 14/Sep/06
As someone as said before, it was a big joke in the 80's of how short Stallone was. It was back before he wore elevator shoes, so everyone knew he was 5 foot 7. I give Mr T. 5 foot 8 and a half for being slightly taller than Stallone. Glenn says on 6/Sep/06
Yeah,I still need to get DC Cab.and maybe one day,the A-Team DVDs.How tall were the other guys on A-Team? Viper652 says on 6/Sep/06
Funny, I thought of DC Cab after Taxi Cab wars as well, just thinking about Mr. T driving a cab. I miss shows like the A-team though. Glenn says on 6/Sep/06
Lest we forget DC CAB. Viper652 says on 5/Sep/06
Taxicab Wars is a sweet A-team episode Bleemo. Danimal says on 4/Sep/06
I've read 5'10"-5'11" in his prime. Could be. dmeyer says on 1/Sep/06
he did look almost 2 inches on stallone in the ring so stallone is no taller than 175 if mr t is only 179 Zed says on 20/Jul/06
He's 5'10". I used to workout in the same gym with him. The guy wore old school Converse hightops and we stood about eye to eye. I'm 5'9" was wearing normal running shoes, which soles are a bit thicker then those hightops. Glenn says on 26/Jun/06
Never met him.but your right steve. SteveD says on 25/Jun/06
I met Mr T about 10 yrs ago or so at a shopping mall in Cleveland, Ohio. He was in a book store signing copies of some book he wrote. He is only about 5'8", but at that time he was really huge (muscular). 316 says on 12/May/06
This guy looked atleast an inch and a half taller than stallone in Rocky3. Its pretty fair to say that he is close to 5'11. Hate his irritatin voice though.... slysystem says on 10/May/06
to Brian...
he may have shrink...In the 80's i think he was 5.11. tgri says on 28/Mar/06
mr.t is 5'10 on the nose. check out that pic with corey filedmen. Brian says on 23/Feb/06
I met Mr. T in LA during the E3 show back in 2002. He is probably around 5'8" to 5'9"...much shorter than i expected. I am exactly 6'0" without shoes on and i was significantly taller than he was. tgri says on 12/Feb/06
i just watched the a-team for the first time today . mr.t is not a big guy at all. with out the mohikan hairstyle and shoes theres no way hes over 5'10. bc says on 9/Jan/06
Wasn't there an article about Sly and how there was a big deal about hiring actors for the Rocky movies that were as short or shorter as Sly. They had a hard time finding shorter actors that look "mean". Mr. T was the only one that fit the description according to the article. Considering 5'10" is average/above average and most actors fit this range. I'd say Mr. T is shorter than 5'9". Joseph says on 1/Jan/06
in the rocky game Play Station 2. Sylvester stallone is stated as being 5ft11" (180cm)... hmm. TNTinCA says on 6/Sep/05
I agree that 5'10"-ish for Mr. T is about right. He was clearly taller than Stallone in Rocky III but by only about an inch. And I agree that Stallone is around the 5'9" mark. I think the reason they constantly go after Stallone is he makes a big deal of it and goes to great lengths to exagerate his height because of the perceived notion that an action star needs to be big. MHouillon says on 16/Aug/05
But the thing is, Stallone is 5'9", so 5'10+ is correct. Mike says on 24/Jul/05
I think 179 or maybe 180 is correct. In Rocky III he was about one inch taller than Stallone. |
