I still disagree. Connery always looks shorter to me. Which seems right when you see him next to 192cm Donald Sutherland: Connery looks 187/188cm tops.
Still think Mcgoohan looked 189/190 in hell drivers. Only a half inch question though.

@Shadow2: Agreed. McGoohan was an easy 6'2". If you can get hold of it, check him out in a 1979 British made-for-TV film titled THE HARD WAY. Patrick plays an ice cold hitman named Connor and he is forced into a cat & mouse game with a shady former employer played by Lee Van Cleef. This film is the definitive "Hitman" film, and both McGoohan and Van Cleef shine--they say little, but they convey so much with their facial expressions and body language. Cool little film and great performances from both actors.
@Martyr: I recently saw a young Connery in HELL DRIVERS. Both he and McGoohan are about the same height: 6'2"+.

At least 6.2, maybe taller (6.3 is not out of the question)...watch him in his younger days. In hell drivers (57), he looked taller than a young sean connery. Shadow2 says on 18/Nov/10
Patrick was a legit 6'2". In one of the many Columbo's he did with his good friend Peter Falk, he is in a scene walking with 6'1" Leslie Nielsen and he's an inch taller. In 1957's "Hell Drivers" he's the tall villain alongside fellow 6'2" actor Sean Connery (in an early minor role). In "Ice Station Zebra" he's just 3" shorter than 6'5" Rock Hudson. R.I.P. Patrick, you were an original! |
