Danimal: 6'5-6'6" yes, definitely for Cassavetes but not 6'8". He was definitely taller than Randy Quaid who is tall himself; Looks like he had roughly 2" on Quaid. BTW, The Wraith is one of my all time favorites.

Anyone ever see the movie "The Wraith" from 1986, with him, Sherilynn Fenn (Twin Peaks), Charlie Sheen and 6'4" Randy Quaid? Nick towered over Randy Quaid in ALL scenes with Randy. I always knew Randy was tall since he played Chevy Chases brother in law in Vacation, but Nick made him look short. When Nick was young he was minimum 6'6", but he honestly looks like he is closer to 6'8".

parents mean nothing for height

Im 6ft and my dads 6'3" my uncles 6'7" and the shortest male in my family is my other uncle at 5'9"

thats right, 3 brothers, one at 6'7" one at 6'3" and the other at 5'9", all from the same 6'4" dad.

The rest of the males range from 6'2"-6'9"

Ive got a friend who is a solid 6'5.5" and his dad is 5'9" and his mum is 5'1"

Ive got a fiance who has a 6'4" brother when his dad was 5'6" and the mum is 5'3", and they actually have no tall people in the family apart from him.

Short parents can make uber tall kids, tall parents uber short kids, its potluck really.

Nick is the spitting image of his father, John. Yes, both John and Gena are short, but sometimes genes are not the only factor in one's height. My friend's father was over 6 feet and neither he or his 3 siblings come even close to that.

Is Nick John Cassavetes's son? Never would have told. John was 5ft 8in max. And Gena Rowlands isn't tall either. Oh, well ......maybe he was adopted.

He does seem to be a tall guy, but I don't know about 6'6". I would have guessed him to be about 6'4" in an episode of Quantom Leap next to Scott Bakula, as the height difference was about 4 inches. Also, an actor in one his movies (I think Emile Hirsch, who may be too short to know the difference) described Cassavetes as being "like 6'4"."

Yes, he was. Check out his role in the movie The Wraith, next to co-star Randy Quaid. Nick was a good 2-3" taller than him.

[Editor Rob: his height no doubt lost him many a film role...]
