I suppose Cleese at a solid 6ft5 could potentially equate to this guy being 6ft2 on the dot…..I see roughly 3in between them in that episode. But then in Full Metal Jacket he’s a good 2in below Matthew Modine

Thanks Rob!
I agree with this mark. Little shorter than Gregory Peck in The Omen and obviously next to Cleese stacked up relatively well. Interesting that he had himself listed at 6ft3……that’s a standard shoe claim.

Cleese claiming 6ft 4.5 and Bruce 6ft 3 would never add up, I think most agree Cleese really was a big 6ft 5 guy at peak.

Shared a good scene in The Saint with Roger Moore and he looked half an inch taller than Roger. Rog 6ft1 or 1.25 and Boa 6ft1.5 or 1.75 is what I think. Boa was in a film with 182cm Patrick Macnee and looked 2 inches taller so yh in around 187cm is likely.

Rob, can you add Boa to Bond Actors and Star Wars tags?
6’1.75” checks out for Boa. He was on the verge of 6’2”. To look tall facing John Cleese is saying something about how tall he was.
