He’s shorter in the picture above with 6-4 Tony in flat shoes. I’d say 6-3 now

Rewatched dawn of the dead the other day, such a great film. One of the best horrors easily.
Anyway, Ken really doesn't look the full 6'5 in it, maybe he was 6'4.5 peak. I can't imagine this guy being the same peak height as John cleese was.

He was indeed a strong 6'5 in his young days.
Looked at least that in Zombie.
Looked strong too in front of Tyler Mane in the Halloween remake.

Funny you should say that, Rob! I was watching it with my brother one evening and I thought, "No! He's not seeing this!"
I stopped the disc and took it off. If 'The Midnight Meat Train' gave him nightmares, I wasn't going to risk this!

If I can stomach watching 'The Devil's Rejects' again, I can have a good look at Ken.
I don't remember him playing a baddie in that!
6ft5 peak and an inch less today.

Ken is 72 and definitely old enough to have lost some height but I doubt its much, think he can still loom around 6'4".

Legit peak 6-5. Now 6-4 weak or bit under. Was dwarfed by Tyler so has to be near 6-5

I thought he seemed about Tyler Mane's height in Halloween. Assuming Tyler Mane was still at peak height there, I thought he could have been 6'7 range himself.

Would've been nice to see a photo of Ken with George Romero back when they were making Dawn of the Dead but I don't see any. In the audio commentary, Foree tells his cast mates that they were about the same height.

Always good in his roles no matter the quality of the movie. Just saw him as an unkillable good guy survivalist in Leatherface...he gets to beat up Viggo Mortensen and Leatherface himself!
Here with Robert Pattinson he looks closer to 6'4" but I'd bet Pattison has larger footwear.

6ft4 seems to short for Ken I would say 6ft5 I mean in the Devil's Rejects he looked a good inch taller than 6 ft 4 Sid Haig but Sid has lost some inches probably due to his age now he's like 6ft3 cause at a covention vid on youtube he looked a good 2 inches shorter than ken

Same as Patb. I'm bout 6'5 morning and seriously by squaring up like the little guy in the picture is doing we gain much more height.

I used to be 6'4". After reading this site I became 6'5". I now include my shoes.
BTW just who the hell is this supposed celebrity?
The idea that average or short people can tell the difference between 6'4" and 6'4.25" is a hoot. I gain that much height just by inhaling. If we're going to make estimates that precise you need to note just where in the breathing cycle they were when you saw them. This is a big guy. He could be at least an inch taller by just inhaling, pulling his head back and stretching. Maybe two.

Even if Foree is a legit 6ft5, while wearing thick heeled work boots in Halloween he was maybe 3 inches shorter then Tyler Mane who wore slippers! Mane is tops 6ft8! If Foree is less, you could probabaly shave another inch off of Mane. My guess is 6ft4 for Foree and 6ft7 for Mane!

James that tracks with what I'm saying!
I said Foree was shorter then Mane while wearing near 2 inch work boots to Mane's slippers. This would put Foree at 2-3 inches shorter then Mane, and if Mane is 6ft8 that would put Foree at 6ft5. If he's shorter like 6ft3, Mane must only be 6ft6!

Well if Foree is shorter then 6ft5, then Tyler Mane is not a full 6ft8! In Halloween Foree was only marginally shorter then Mane while wearing thick heeled work boots(1.5-2in heels) to Mane's slippers with a 0.5in heel at best. If he's only 6ft3, he'd have only been 6ft4.5-6ft5 while wearing his boots in the film, which would in turn put Mane at 6ft6.5-6ft7 while wearing slippers.

I just rewatched Zombie's Halloween again, and Foree and Mane look very close in size. Foree has to be 6ft5 at least, if Mane is really 6ft8. The old listing of 6ft10 for Mane is nonsense though, because Mane is in no way 5 inches taller than Foree. While wearing slippers Mane looks at best 2 inches taller than Foree, who is wearing thick heeled work boots.
6ft8 barefoot(6ft9.5 in boots) sounds good for Mane but no more than that, and 6ft5 barefoot(6ft6.5 in boots) seems spot on for Foree.
