Come on, Satchy, a midget at 5'5''? 5'5'' is just as much below the average height as 6'1'' is over the average, and yet would you call a 6'1'' guy a giant? Of course not. Even if Koenig is 5'5'', he's just your typical short guy, he's nowhere near a midget.

Brad: Exactly. From season 2, everyone in the cast wore small-heeled version boots, while Koenig always had the 2-inch Cuban-heeled version. And yet, he seemed quite short. Only slightly taller than 5'4" Nichelle Nichols. Brad says on 9/Jun/11
5 feet 5, one look at Mamun who I've stood next to and is 5' 8". Gets owned by everybody in the original series and he's in Cubans. Big Jon says on 14/Mar/11
5'5 ish more than a full 5'6 SAK says on 24/Feb/11
Looks 5ft5 now, maybe 5ft6 @ peak height guyfrommars says on 24/Feb/11
He was the same height as 5'6" George Takei, but he wore the 2-inch heeled boots, while Takei had the smaller heeled version from season 2. There's a promotional image where both actors' boots are clearly visible. I'll try to locate it. This makes Koenig not taller than 5'5". guyfrommars says on 29/Jan/11
Koenig always wore the 2-inch Cuban heeled version of Star Trek boots in TOS, and yet seemed to be shorter than the rest of the male cast (except George Takei). Even Shatner, who was around 5'11" in his lifts, seemed much taller than Walter. He was a weak 5'6" or even closer to 5'5" (especially in older days). eric says on 14/Nov/10
its amazing how at a distance, mamum and walter could look relatively the same height. But at close range he is a good 2.5-3.5" taller. |
