Conrad appears quite short in the 1949 MGM film Any Number Can Play. I doubt he was ever more than 5'7". He looked short in The Naked Jungle.

No! No! No! Conrad who played Marshall Dillon on radio was about 5'7". My mom worked with him in radio.

[Editor Rob: yes, on jake he looked that short, but maybe he was taller in his youth...]

Great actor. He did look shorter on Fatman (and Cannon for that matter), and his weight probably made him look even shorter. He appeared on Diagnosis Murder once and there was a noticable gap between him and Van Dyke. He looked 5'7" to 5'8" to me.
