Good-looking guy - I'm watching him right now in 'Damien Omen 2'.

Noticeably shorter than William Holden in 'Damien Omen II' by about an inch, I am happy to go with 5ft9.5! Not that either actor will have been his peak height in 1978, but I still noticed a marked difference of three-quarters quarters of an inch to an inch.

What a nasty way to go - disappearing under the ice....

Peak height 5ft9.5.

I just found him chalked up as 175cm! He was in Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot' and I am now watching him in 'Damien Omen II', so I'll get back on this one...

Lew with his lovely wife, Ginger Rogers, pretty good example of a 5'9.5" guy I think.

Rob did you watch him in a film recently or something? I think I requested him a while back, can you also add Johnny Belinda, Holiday, The Unfaithful, The Dark Mirror, The Capture, Donovan's Brain, The Carpetbaggers and The Man?
Editor Rob

Could you also add to his credits?: State Fair, Holiday, Rich Man, Poor Man, Johnny Belinda and Advise & Consent.

Thanks for adding, Rob! Pretty accurate listing IMO, he looked 4-4.5 inches taller than Jimmy Cagney, 3-3.5 inches under Cary Grant.
