Rory, he has to clear 6ft3 though.

Yh I did wonder if the 6ft2.5 came from him actually being 6ft3.5 and deliberately subtracting an inch at some point in a claim ? Maybe in order to broaden his suitability for a range of roles. Or perhaps it was a misquote, where he's claimed 6ft3.5 but the journalist has heard 6ft2.5 ? I always thought it was a strangely specific description, which sounded like it had merit but then my eyes and the evidence when I watched him told me this was a 6ft3+ guy. I remember the actor who used to played Thomas in Silent Witness looking 6ft2.75/6ft3 zone(barefoot he looked 2 inches taller than solid 6ft Nethaniel Parker in shoes)and Caves not looking much taller than him. 6ft3.5 could be very fair.

This is probably the highest I’d go for him with 6ft3½ being a strong possibility. I’m not convinced he’s the full 6ft4.
But 6ft2½ is definitely too low. I’ve no idea where that figure came from…..could he have downplayed it in the past? It’s a rare thing to do these days. If anything, tall actors tend to embellish their stature even more!

He definitely clears 6’3”. Physically could look 6’4 in pic above art first glance. But he has what appears a large head with little neck so the closer you zoom in he doesn’t look 6’4”.. I agree with Rob. Clears 6’3 but not sure by how much. He may be what he’s listed here

I thought the online 6ft2.5 label for David looked too low, but 6ft3.75 is pretty high too. In the most recent series of Silent Witness he was with Sean Pertwee in a few episodes and I thought he had 4 inches on Sean...and it's quite likely Sean is below 5ft11.5 today. My guess was more a muscular 6ft3.25 or 3.5 for Caves who could look quite towering amongst a smaller cast.

He's got to clear 6ft 3, that's for sure.
