Textbook strong 6ft2 guy at his peak (6ft3 out of bed, 6ft2-2¼). Looked very tall in Con Air and Breakdown.
Probably still at least 187cm today

yeah little over 6´2 peak. could pull of 190 cm in the 90s. im not thinkging he was that tall. but i would bet on closer to 189 than 188 if we turn back the clock to 1985

This guy is the living proof that Matthew Fox can't be 6'2. Hard to say how much exactly, but he definitely was taller than him on Lost (and that's around the years Rob met him).
That being said, a fraction over 6'2 in his younger years wouldn't surprise me...

He generally looks like a big guy on screen even now...he's probably still close to 6ft2. A bit over it peak...

I saw MC's name out of the 🌽er of my 👁️ and I thought his surname was Grainary. I think I must have cereals on my mind, having watched as my brother devoured two bowls full to the brim with chocolate 🍫 flavour breakfast cereal earlier today. Personally, I prefer the ones that taste of wheat. 🌾 So much healthier, you can taste as they're doing you good! Yum yum yum!
😋👌🌾🍞
Unfamiliar with the series 'Lost', I am the proud owner of a copy of 'Con Air', a film my bloke got me into. So MC is in that, is he? Fantastique, especially as I know where my DVD is next door! 💿
I don't know whether to fill his box in with the nearer average 6ft2.5 or go for Rob's 6ft2...🤔
I know! I'll give MC 6ft2.25, possibly to be revised once I've checked him out in the star-studded movie 'Con Air'.

I hope Rob that you looked at the pictures I sent. In the group photo there are also Jerry Bruckheimer and Mykelti Williamson next to Gainey, here are their footwear: Click Here Click Here
They four (Buscemi, Chappelle, Bruckheimer and Williamson) made him a giant, or he made them dwarves. Gainey in the 1990's looked over 6'2". I think Rob, that 6'2.25" as his peak height would be fair. What would you say?

Today Gainey is 72 years old, so it's time for peak height and current height for him. Here is his 1997 photo with Steve Buscemi and Dave Chappelle, he looked like a giant next to them: Click Here
You can only see Steve's footwear, and here you can see Gainey's and Dave's footwear: Click Here Click Here
Although Gainey may have had slightly thicker shoes, he looked very tall, so I still see him over 6'2". Then Gainey was 49 years old and I doubt any loss of height in his case at that time. I believe he was 6'2.25" and currently he is 6'1.75" or 6'1.5". Rob, could you give him that list?

He has a 5'9" Eyelevel by the chart. HE is likely around 6'1.25 but that at his age of the picture which was 60 years old.
He likely lost around 1/2" from his prime, so he was likely right around 6'2". Not taller. Take a Look at the picture with Rob and compare him to guys like Brandon Routh and Zach Levi. He is not taller than 6'2. Stop with that Foolishness. He is a big man. No Need to Inflate his size.

Rob, I think it's time to give him the peak height and the current height! In my opinion, its peak height was 189 cm, 6'2.5" or 6'2.25". As for the current height, I will say that it probably fell to 187 cm, 6'1.75" or 6'1.5" is very reliable for him today! In general, I think that there used to be a little over than 6'2". Today, however, it is probably under this one.
