Mr. T was 5'10 1/2", and 5'10" today. Case closed. Anonymous says on 12/Nov/09
Mr. T weighed 220 lbs on the A-Team, the warden in the episode Pros and Cons said what does he run about 220? Brah says on 3/Nov/09
He is very close in height to Dirk Benedict on the A-Team.
Now Rob met Dirk Benedict and he looks 5'10" from the pics. So 5'10" for BA Baracus makes sense. SlowCode says on 24/Oct/09
Met Mr T when he was doing security for Muhammad Ali. I am 5'10.5" and he was a couple inches shorter than I. Big dude though, and very professional. Mr. T says on 22/Oct/09

SHUT UP FOOL! I am 5'11", or six-one with the mohawk as listed on my driver license. RisingForce says on 28/Sep/09
I can buy that for Rocky 3 heights although I'd give Hogan a full 6'6' back then. Anonymous says on 28/Sep/09
Mr T 5'11 Stallone 5'9.5 Hogan 6'5.5... RisingForce says on 26/Sep/09
Wow, still possibly as tall as 5'11"? I thought he had shrunk to 5'10" flat at the most. James S says on 25/Sep/09
Hm....After seeing him tonight on the tonight show, I'd say he looked 5'10-5'11 next to 6'4 Conan.
So this is accurate yes. RisingForce says on 3/Sep/09
Looks 5'11" to me, but he has a stocky build which can make him look shorter. I didn't see 3 inches between Mr. T and Roddy Piper, more like 2 or 2.5".
Hackman may have lost height, but he also had the footwear advantage over Mr. T because of his boots. And what about Mr. T looking so close to Carl Weathers height? Or all the pictures I posted below of Mr. T and Hulk Hogan?
He looks shorter now though. I think Mr. T is 5'10" max these days, maybe under that. TELLEM says on 2/Sep/09
5'11 is too high for him. he looked more 5'10 next to 6'1 peak roddy piper and gene hackman could have lost height by that time that pic was taken (1991) he was already in his 60s RisingForce says on 2/Sep/09
He was 2 inches over 5'9" peak. Look at him next to Carl Weathers, Gene Hackman and Hulk Hogan. Danimal says on 28/Aug/09
He was minimum 5'9" at his peak. Mr. T says on 25/Aug/09
Anonymous says on 30/Jul/09
If T was 5'8, then a peak Hogan was about 6'2. Come on people, Hogan towered over 6'0-6'1 George Peppard. T was all but 6'0.
I pity the fool who said I'm 5'8", come on you know i'm 5'11". Mr T-Cakes says on 9/Aug/09
in Rocky3, T looked about an inch taller than Stallone when they were squaring up. I'd go for 5ft9.5/5ft.10. Anonymous says on 30/Jul/09
If T was 5'8, then a peak Hogan was about 6'2. Come on people, Hogan towered over 6'0-6'1 George Peppard. T was all but 6'0. RisingForce says on 29/Jul/09
No he's not 6'0", he wouldn't claim 5'11" if he was. But I think he was defintley a solid 5'11" in the 80's judging by those pictures with Hulk Hogan, Carl Weathers and Gene Hackman. MHouillon says on 16/Jul/09
No, 173cm is too short for him. He's in the 176cm-177cm-range. TELLEM says on 13/Jul/09
he isn't 6'0 aarod says on 12/Jul/09
ROB, sometimes you have rather rediculous estimate of people's heights, and sometimes you are right on the money. this is one of those times where your estimate is considerably off. Ive worked out with Mr. T, and he is a legitimate 6'0" even. he was in regular sneakers, and i was in jacked up healed running shoes, and i still only had 1.5"-1.75" on him, and i am 6'1.75"
seriously, stop hatin' on T.
another guy you are hating on, even though i hate him and dont care:
david hasselhoff is a solid 6'5", if not slightly taller. sorry, its true Anonymous says on 25/Jun/09
Baloney he is 5' 8" at most Fred says on 22/Jun/09
i was watching Rocky 3 a few days ago . Judged from that movie Mr T is 5'10 or 5'11 says on 20/Jun/09
Mr. T is listed 6'1" it was shown on his ID on I Pity The Fool, I don't buy it. 5'11" maximum I will believe. Dwight Schultz "Murdock" actually was 6'1" Ejel Khan says on 18/Jun/09
T was always listed as 5'11" back in the day. His peak height should be increased. RisingForce says on 29/May/09
How am I being stubborn? I posted 8 pictures with Hulk Hogan, a picture with Gene Hackman and a picture with Carl Weathers as proof. Their footwear was known in every picture. He actually looked 6 ft in more pictures than he looked 5'11" but I'll assume he's 5'11". Vegas says on 29/May/09
hogan and mr t from december 2005, Click Here Daniel says on 29/May/09
I guess Rob is being generous giving Mr. T 1.79m peak height, for he was never taller than 1.78m. And RisingForce, no offense man, but you are acting as stubborn as Glenn used to do, though I acknowledge you are far more polite than him. RisingForce says on 22/May/09
look at this collection of pictures posted on the hulk hogan page. Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
the first picture shows hogan's cowboy boots have a bigger heel than mr. t's boots. the second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh pictures show no more than a 6 inch difference. the 6th pic shows possibly a 7 inch difference, but no more than that. the last picture shows hogan bending his knees a bit, but looking just 5 inches taller.
hogan was 6-6 back then, no way was mr. t under 5-11 back then. RisingForce says on 22/May/09
cowboy boots have 2 inch heels, whether mr. t has something else inside the boots is another story. i'd guess weathers shoes add atleast 1 1/4 inches. Anonymous says on 21/May/09
And it's not like weathers is in bare feet, he has really nice, probably 1 inch heel dress shoes on, to Mr T's 2.5 inch heel cowboy boots. That's only a 1.5 inch heel advantage for Mr T next to 6'2 Weathers, making T 6'0.5? Anonymous says on 20/May/09
T was even taller than 5'11 guys. He was a big 5'11 small 6'0 guy, like 5'11 3/4. His persona back when was that he was like the toughest guy in the World, so he got rounded down to 5'11 because people like to cut the the tough/big guy down to size. He was the SLIGHTEST bit shorter than Jim brown and joe namath guys who were listed at 6'2 by the NFL! RisingForce says on 7/May/09
Rob, please look at the comparisons below to 6-6 hulk hogan and 6-2 gene hackman. he wasn't under 5-11. this pic of him in cowboy boots looking about even with 6-1 carl weathers proves that. Click Here
time for an upgrade. 5-11 minimum peak, 5-10 max now. Daniel says on 29/Apr/09
If Mr. T was 6ft, then Dirk Benedict was 6'1'', which is obviously wrong Anonymous says on 25/Apr/09
Mr t was about 5'11.75. he only wore those amature wrestling shoes in those wrestling matches which give you absolutly no height increase and the wrestlers had those big wrestling boots on that give you like 1.50 inches. So 6'1.5 Roddy Pieper was 6'3 in the boots, Mr T was less than 3 inches shorter with no heel! I'm inclined to give Mr T 6'0. He was only 1 inch shorter than 6'0-6'1 George Peppard. Daniel says on 21/Apr/09
No, 5'10'' tops makes perfect sense for Mr. T RisingForce says on 15/Apr/09
5'10" peak doesn't make sense, look at him next to Hulk Hogan, Carl Weathers and Gene Hackman. He was atleast 5'11" peak. TELLEM says on 15/Apr/09
5'10 peak makes sense...look at him next to roddy piper Neal says on 13/Apr/09
Mr T. was 5-10 peak and about 5-8 now. RisingForce says on 11/Apr/09
Wow, look at this shocking picture that JT posted on the Hulk Hogan page.
6'6" Hulk Hogan had only about 5 inches on Mr. T here. Click Here
It's hard to tell if Mr. T had a footwear advantage. Click Here
There's no way in my mind that he was less than 5'11" now. After all, remember this picture. Click Here
6'2" Gene Hackman is in 2" cowboy boots and he's closer to the camera, but Mr. T is just 3 inches shorter. RisingForce says on 10/Apr/09
Anonymous, you're not the only one who thinks Stallone is 5'10.75". I agree with you and so does Glenn, ACG and a few others. Plus some other regular posters like Leung and Leonari have him at a flat 5'10". So while many disagree with you, a lot of posters like myself have him in the same range.
As far as Mr. T I suspect he was 5'11" or a bit over and wore lifts, he appeared very close to Carl's height as you mentioned. Anonymous says on 9/Apr/09
If Carl Weathers was 6'2, no way was T 3-4 inches shorter. Come on, he was only a little shorter, Weathers was a little, but not alot taller than stallone and T was almost the same amount taller. I only see Weathers being 2 inches taller max! and more like 1.5 inch. 6'0 for Mr T. If Weathers was 3-4 inches taller than T then he would have been like 5 inches taller than Stallone and you would have almost had a Lundgren type stairdown between Weathers and Stallone, and that was not the case. I may also be the only person alive that thinks that Stallone was about 5'10.75 Doug says on 7/Apr/09
He definately looked nearer 5'11" peak, saw photos of him recently with Christian O Connell the DJ and he was looking 5'10" max. He seems to be exactly an inch shorter than Peppard. He is a lovely guy, quite surprisingly so actually given his image. RisingForce says on 4/Apr/09
No, Weathers was listed at at 6-2 in his football days. Click Here Anonymous says on 3/Apr/09
The thing about carl weathers is that he was listed at 5'11 220 by the Oakland Raiders. RisingForce says on 2/Apr/09
Maybe Mr. T wears lifts? After all at times he seemed very close to Carl Weathers height in Rocky 3 and I peg Weathers at 6'1.5" peak. But other times he does seem more in the 5'10"-5'11" range. I'd bet he was a solid 5'11" though and looked taller sometimes because of lifts. If he looked close to Jim Brown's height then he must have worn lifts because Brown is or was about 6'2". Doug says on 1/Apr/09
Wrong Anonymous, in height anyway. Peppard was 5'11.5" and Mr. T was 5'10.5". TELLEM says on 29/Mar/09
6'0? nah, that would meen, roddy piper was 6'3 peak. Anonymous says on 27/Mar/09
T was a flat 6'0.In an A-Team Episode he walks right next to Jim brown and is barely any shorter, and in the same episode he stands right next to George Peppard who is 6'0-6'1 again is barely shorter. His fighting weight was about 225-230 but by the end of the A-Team he had gotten up to 240-245. In the same episode he is at least as tall as Joe Nameth if not a fraction taller! Stan says on 3/Mar/09
I took a picture for tv land with Mr. T when he came to my job when I worked with this cable company back in the early 90's. I'm a easy 5'9" and he was maybe an inch taller than me I say 5'10" tops stuFri says on 2/Mar/09
I met Mr T last Fri on his Snickers tour. He is 5.8, not including hair. Dangler says on 21/Feb/09
Does anyone know how much he actually weighed in his prime? Dr Almonds says on 31/Jan/09
Mr T was the shortest on the A team but not much shorter than face was, they were very close in height the two of them, and all four of them were close in height anyway, Murdock being the tallest at 6'1, so back in his prime 5'10.5 seems about right nowadays more like 5'10. ancient monster says on 11/Jan/09
When I met Mr.T like 10000 years back he was like 7 feet tall weighing 350 lbs. I was around 7 feet so that's accurate
Nowadays more like 5' 10" TELLEM says on 10/Jan/09
no its not rising, look at him w/ 6'1-6'1.5 roddy piper...3 inch difference RisingForce says on 8/Jan/09
No, as low as 5-10 is insane for Mr. T. Look at him next to Gene Hackman who is wearing cowboy boots. Mr. T is or was 5-11. Morg says on 8/Jan/09
as high as 5'10 is insane for mr T. RisingForce says on 29/Dec/08
Mr. T was listed at 6-1 around the time of Rocky 3. I.M.D.B. had him as high as 6-2.5 which is insane. glenn says on 25/Dec/08
i bumped into hackman once.photo with.he was huge.illusion of 6-3 in 2001.obviously he wasnt that tall.mr.t was listed at 6-1? i saw a pic of him in socks with a child for a advertisment that fueled my short thinking.he looked short. Danimal says on 24/Dec/08
TELLEM says on 23/Dec/08
Mr. T looked 5'10-5'10.5 max next to 6'1-6'1.5 peak roddy piper in the 80s
I agree. RisingForce says on 24/Dec/08
Yeah Glenn, people will say anything to downgrade Sly.
If Mr. T is 5-10 then Gene Hackman was a very weak 6-1 even in the 80's and that's BS.
The 5-8, 5-9 rumors come from the fact that he was big and ripped and so that can make him look shorter or people could have expected him to be 6-1 like he was listed in the 80's.
Could you imagine how short Mr. T would look at 5-10 next to Gene Hackman(in cowboy boots) especially since he's leaning.
His head would be under Hackman's eyes factoring in Hackman's boots and the fact that Mr. T is leaning.
He's 5-11, no doubt. He wasn't much shorter than Carl Weathers in Rocky 3 and Carl was between 6-1 and 6-2. TELLEM says on 23/Dec/08
Mr. T looked 5'10-5'10.5 max next to 6'1-6'1.5 peak roddy piper in the 80s Bleemo says on 23/Dec/08
There'san obvious tilt on that photo with hackman there is actually about 4 inches when you correct it and remove mohican. glenn says on 23/Dec/08
he showed solid proof and they still ignore.i dont have a problem with mr.t being 5-10.but he claimed 5-11,looks it in that pic with popeye,and also looks it in the movie dc cab. Dural says on 23/Dec/08
At least 5'11" would explain 5'10.75" for Sly. Let't get back to reality. I know you are on a Sly-mission Rising but even 5'11" is pushing it for Mr.T. Brad says on 23/Dec/08
Another inflate for Rising. 5' 10" is T's height. Making of "Rocky Three" has T taller than Sly which is what you'd expect in the footwear you'd expect a 5' 8.5" Sly to wear in training. He brings out the wedged up customs for the films. Lmeister says on 23/Dec/08
Hilarious pic :) Mr T is 5ft11ish... glenn says on 22/Dec/08
wow.great pic.5-11 it is.why the 5-8,5-9 rumors? and mainly mentioned at 5-10.though i did see pic were i mistaked him at 5-9. RisingForce says on 21/Dec/08
He's atleast 5-11.
6-2 Gene Hackman is wearing cowboy boots and is closer to the camera while Mr. T is leaning slightly and is only 3 inches shorter.

They probably just put mr T,on a box for the close up scene in rocky 3.And he said he'd lost 50 pounds for rocky 3 also. RisingForce says on 11/Dec/08
He's still 5'11". He looked close to 6'1.5" Carl Weathers height in Rocky 3 and he wasn't dwarfed by Hulk Hogan even a few years ago. chocs says on 8/Dec/08
Lets take the average of everybody here. Lowest being 5'6, highest 5'11, So currently he is probably 5'8.5. Considering you could lose up to 3 inches as you age and considering you are taller in the morning, after your body rests, he could very well have been the strong 5'11 as he has stated. PJ says on 25/Nov/08
I recall reading Mr T himself repeatedly stating his height as 5'10.5 back in his heyday. leonari says on 24/Nov/08
I agre Danimal. There is a great making of Rocky III on youtube and you see when they are rehearsing the choreography for the fights that Stallone is a bit shorter. Not much tthough. Danimal says on 23/Nov/08
Whatever he was back in 1981-1982, Sly was SHORTER than him at that time. Fred Ennis says on 20/Nov/08
Mr. T was 5'11" back in the day, now he's 5'10" these days. You think Mr. T is big, what about tall Fred Dryer from Hunter, he was 6'6"! though only an inch taller than me, I peaked at 6'5" (196cm) now i'm 6'4 1/2-6'4 3/4" (194-195cm)at age: 53 says on 20/Nov/08
Mr. T
5'11" peak
5'10" current glenn says on 7/Nov/08
true risingforce.at least 6-1.maybe a tad more. RisingForce says on 6/Nov/08
Yeah Glenn but I can't see over 3" between him and Sly in the slippers scene. Since I believe Sly is 5'10.75" or 5'10" at worst then I think Carl is a little over 6'1". he also seemed a bit shorter than 6'2" Arnold in the 80's.
Besides if Carl is 6'1" and change it's not hard to imagine your friends estimating him at 6'2". He could be 6'2" though, I haven't met him so I can't say for sure. He was listed 6'3" in his football days. glenn says on 6/Nov/08
didnt weathers claim 6-2? he did look that to my friends.mr-t does look 5-11 in the early days.can look 5-9ish now.never met either. RisingForce says on 5/Nov/08
Weathers was a little over 6'1", maybe 6'1.25" or 6'1.5"
Mr. T was 5'11" Big T says on 1/Nov/08
Honestly....as of right now, less than 5'9". M.o.r.g says on 29/Oct/08
carl weathers's looked way taller than mr t. nick says on 21/Oct/08
I honestly think that carl weathers wasnt 6'1 but more 6'0. Mr t being 5 10 is very accurate RisingForce says on 24/Sep/08
Carl Weathers was between 6'1" and 6'2" and Mr. T was no more than 2 inches shorter in Rocky 3. He was a solid 5'11", I can't believe his license says 6'1" though.
He was a little taller than Sly is Rocky 3, but not much so 5'11" sounds right.
LOL, Internet Movie Data Base has him at 6'2 1/2", that must be a joke. 5'11" peak, no more and no less. JeffC says on 19/Sep/08
a friend of mine who is a stuntman/actor in the business, met him & told me he was shorter than him by at least an inch. My friend is 5'9.5, so if MR T is 5'8.5 that will make Sly about 5'7. Frank2 was right on target. Anonymous -15 says on 17/Sep/08
I think he was a legit 5'11" at his peak. He was a good bit taller than Stallone in Rocky III , as the picture proves , and also about two inches shorter than 6'1" Carl Weathers in that film. Tom says on 14/Sep/08

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'.
He may have been the shortest, but the man weighed well into his 230's (ton of muscle) if not more in the early-late 80's. Big T says on 25/Jul/08
ok, this height is wrong, imo
Mr T was just on The Footy Show (the rugby league footy show, in Australia) and he was shorter than Matthew Johns, who is 5'9" and was wearing jandals/thongs/very flat sandals (depending on the word they use in your country). It was a terrific opportunity to compare their heights, as they were constantly in each others faces, Johns even tried to kiss him. The tallest listed height I can find for Johns is 177cm, but to me he is 5'9"
Mr T's current height is under 5'9", that's for sure Daniel says on 15/Jul/08
They should have given foot advantage to him so Mr. T could look taller than Stallone, which is not the case in real life. Adam says on 12/Jul/08
Just watched Rocky III. This a surprise. I thought he'd be a solid six foot. He looked distinctly taller than Stallone when they stood face to face in the stare down. He looked about two inches taller and Sly can't be less than 5' 9" so I'd give Mr T 5' 11" prime. Mr. X says on 27/May/08
Actually Dwight Schultz was 6'1.5" John Jay says on 19/May/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

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;
Click Here
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.

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. 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. 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. 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? Glenn says on 6/Sep/06
Lest we forget DC CAB. 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. |
