He looks about your height, Rob. He was probably a little taller at his peek. It's a shame he's no longer with us. He was one of the greatest and also underrated actors of his generation. R.I.P.

I think his peak was around 5'9". He looked it in The Usual Suspects.

RIP a wonderful character actor, he should have been in more movies.
Adamz says on 21/Jul/11
Rob, how do you see a full 5'8" here? He is at least .5" shorter than you.
[Editor Rob: he was 62 years in that photo, and I did think at the time he was in the 5ft 7.5-8 range so in the 5ft 8 range for his peak is fair, whether he was 5ft 8.5 or not in his 30's I am not as sure.]

Rob, in the pic he had not a straight posture... Maybe with a good posture he looked 5'8"?

Great actor, Rest in Peace

rob was he quite ill when you had the photo taken with him? maybe ilness made him shrink because with you he looks 5'7 1/2.

[Editor Rob: that photo was July 2008, I don't think he was ill at that point, at least he didn't appear ill.]
James says on 2/Mar/11

On this site sooner or later someone will claim that the person in question has lost height with age. I wonder.

Postlewaite is a little shorter tha average. He's old now but I wonder if he's lost all that much. Former Senator Alan Simpson who was once 6'7" today looks to have lost half a foot. He's all bent and folded. He's even more extreme than even Clint Eastwood. But Postlewaite seems to have good posture. My guess would be that he hasn't lost much at all.

Great actor, but he's no taller than 170. He looks so small and old here... it's kind of sad... he's like my grandpa
