I guess he really was 5'10". Its funny since the impression I had from a very young age of him in From Russia with Love, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 and Jaws, I thought he was a hulking guy easily over 6 feet tall. I don't know what's going on here (Shaw may be partially seated) but he sure does look shorter than Ian McKellen here:

Yeah he did look believable didn't he as a SMERSH/SPECTRE thug. He looked tallish in From Russia but he apparently wore lifts in his scenes with Connery. Barefoot though next to Rosa Kleb who I suspect was no more than 5'2" he looks big and imposing at 5'10.

What a good actor. Very menacing in FRWL...looked much stronger than Connery, who was a former bodybuilder and a very big man. I could believe 5'9.5 or even 5'11 for Shaw. Hard to tell.

Thanks for the interesting tidbits about the lifts in FRWL. He did look shorter than Connery in that movie, but not by much. Very much a physical match in that fight.
