Mr T's Height
5ft 10 (177.8 cm)
Peak height was 5ft 10 ½ (179.1 cm)
American actor, best known for his iconic role as B.A. Baracus in 80's TV series The A-Team. In film he appeared in Rocky III. In the 80's, Mr T's golden rule included "5ft 11...When I'm not standing on my money", although in 1984 Philly Enquirer called him "5-foot-10 Mr. T". A 1982 article mentioned his weight: "all 5-feet-11 inches and 213 pounds of him".

5'10 and a half and 213 lbs seems about right for his peak. Solid guy.

I found a good shot of the boots Dean Martin was wearing at that Mr. T roast: Click Here I don't know what Mr. T was wearing. That's one thing that makes his height tricky. He often wore Converse and it's also hard to tell where his head ends with his hairstyle. I mentioned on Adam Baldwin's page how Mr. T looked with him in D.C. Cab despite at least an inch footwear disadvantage(Mr. T wore Converse) but look how much taller Mr. T was than 5'8" Bill Maher: Click Here
Martin tricked people into thinking he was 6 ft! Wore lifts even more than Frank I think, a chance he was as low 5'9.5 from what I've seen with him barefoot in a few films but generally around 5 ft 10 is OK!

Every single mm of 5'10" guy on peak.
He had brilliant shape and strong muscles back in the "Rocky 3".
It couldn't be fair to not recorded him on the screen!

Not 5-11. I met him in London. Was actually surprised how shorter he looks. I’d say 5-10 absolute peak.

Was he taller than dick Benedict in A Team? I thought it was the other way around but it has been 20 plus years since I have seen it! Rising174cm does have a point. He looks 5’11 in those pictures he posted . I need to watch A Team again to be more convince.

In the photos I posted below with Hackman, Mr. T oddly looks at least 5'11" with Hackman in cowboy boots. That said, he gives the impression of a guy who might have measured 5'10.5" rather than taller. I'm just confused he looked taller with so many people with known heights such as Weathers, Adam Baldwin, Bill Maher etc. Based on memory, though, he typically looked more 5'10.5"-5'11" on The A-Team rather than above. Now seeing him with 50 cent, it's clear he's 5'9.5" at best.

i can't seem to find it now for some reason but there is actually a good picture gene hackman looked 4 or 5 inches taller and he most likely lost height since he was in his 60s and had problems with his health at that time so that makes Mr.T 5'10.5 at the very most even taking the footwear into consideration and i think 5'9.5-5'10 is more realistic.

@Rob: That's interesting, I'll have to rewatch and compare Mr. T and Dirk more. Interestingly, Mr. T looks near Hulk's nose here: Click Here but probably has near 1" less footwear and is further from the camera. Shouldn't Mr. T be closer than Hulk to line up the back of his head with Hulk's nose? Until I rewatch A-Team, which I still find entertaining, I suspect he may have been just under his claim as well, such as 5'10.75". Doesn't look over 5'9.5" with 50 cent nowadays, though.

@Rob: Interesting, I'd guess him 5'11" at times on the show, but no taller with Peppard. However, in some of these other comparisons and the film DC Cab, he could look above it! Could he have had lifts in his cowboy boots with Weathers at the press conference?

Editor RobHe did pass for 5ft 11 with Carl. I have rewatched a-team recently and for me it was touch and go with Dirk/Mr T, sometimes I thought T could have had the edge...actually there was two episodes with Hulk Hogan and even jenny noticed how big Hulk looked when he stood well. At one point I thought T looked about the end of Hogan's nose!

I have trouble seeing him under 5'11" peak, especially since he wore Converse a lot. He could look above it at times. He's lost a lot of height now and is probably 5'9"-5'9.5" range, but am I missing something or does he hold up really well in all of these comparisons?
In cowboy boots with legit 6'1" Carl Weathers: Click Here Click Here Click Here Carl has decent heels over an inch so Mr. T's cowboy boots shouldn't give him as much as an inch advantage. The difference didn't seem that big in Rocky 3 either.
With 5'8" Bill Maher: Click Here Mr. T wore Converse: Click Here
With 6'6" listed Hulk Hogan in similar footwear: Click Here Looks to be around 6" between them there. I don't think Hulk was a full 6'6", but he didn't have to be for Mr. T to look 5'11".

With 6'4" Adam Baldwin: Click Here Click Here As mentioned, Mr. T wore Converse, but Baldwin wore cowboy boots in the film.

I suspect that Mr. T upped his height because, like Dolph Lundgren, he broke into the movies starring opposite Sylvester Stallone. Since, like Lundgren, T was taller than Stallone, and since Stallone falsely claims five foot ten, Stallone made him lie about his height to conceal Stallone's real height of five foot seven. (According to William Goldman.)

Peak was more like 5'10.5" minimum. No proof was necessary for that either since Hulk himself only claims to have been 6'7" peak, which was probably his peak height in cowboy boots. Hogan was definitely at least 6'5" peak, though and really only looked about 6" taller than Mr. T in similar footwear: Click Here The only time it looked 7+" is when Hulk had an inch or more footwear advantage AND a camera advantage: Click Here 5'11" fit better for Mr. T with Hogan back in the 80's.

Sly Stallone was a credible 5’9.5” at his peak in Rocky III. At that time, Mr. T would have been at his own peak of 5’10.5”. His mohawk made him look close to 2 inches taller than Stallone, but no more than that. By the time he began working on the A-Team, Mr. T’s mohawk was even higher and thicker, further adding to the illusion that he was over 6 feet in height.

He could pass for over 5'11" -- likely due to footwear -- but he really does look to me to have been a full 5'11". Nowadays in his mid 60s, he's lucky if he's even 177 cm, though.

He's no where close to 5'10" or 5'9"....I'm a legitimate 5'9" and was on a flight with him in the mid-80s. When he fully stood up I was several inches taller than him. I was tempted to say "what are you looking at shrimp" but he could probably snap my head off with ease. He's cool...didn't like autograph hounds. I'd put him at 5'6" tops.

Watch Mr T standing face to face with 6'0 Roddy Piper on Pipers pit in Madison Square Garden and then watch them again in their staredown at the first wrestlemania in the tag team main event he was about 2 to 3 inches shorter than Hot Rod ..so 5'10 was his peak height ..which makes Stallone 5'9 when you watch him and Stallone face to face in Rocky 3

I'm taking back my earlier comment. That comment was made under the assumption that Sly is 5'9. I think he's 5'8.5, so 5'10.5 is fine for T.

I am 6'7 and used to work in a restaurant that Mr. T frequented and I saw him often. Now, this was over 20 years ago, but I remember him being at least a foot shorter than me. He may not be as short as 5'7, but 5'10 sounds too tall for what I remember, even with his mohawk. I also think Sylvester Stallone is shorter than his "officially" given height (also 5'10 I believe). Never stood near him, so I can't say for sure.
I am 6'7 and used to work in a restaurant that Mr. T frequented and I saw him often. Now, this was over 20 years ago, but I remember him being at least a foot shorter than me.

mr t was clearly under 5'11". mr t with former heavyweight champion ken norton, special guest on the "a-team" set:Click Here
norton was in the 6'3" range, he is clearly 5-6 inches taller than mrt. Furthermore Mrt has a good posture, straight, while norton is relaxed, no good posture at all. He towers over mrt.

Many of you do not have any idea how a legit 5'11" really is, how a legit 6ft really is, how legits 6'2"-6'3" really are...there isn't any connection between muscles and height. It seems here if a man has big muscles he is also tall. no no, change your mind, please.

I agree with the group consensus about him being 5'11 at peak. He looks that height in Rocky III; doesn't look more than two inches shorter than Weathers, and looks to have two inches on Stallone. Noticeable before they fight, when they're both facing each other.

if Hulk Hogan can get away with being billed over 6' 6" which he never was over in his prime, then Mr. T and I should be able to get away with billing ourselves at 5' 11". We're both actually 5' 101/2". I'm up to 205 lbs. and just bench pressed 305.

I always thought he looked tall in "The A-Team", but then I didn't know how tall any of them were. But when I saw him in a picture from BBC's "The One Show", he almost looked tiny compared to how I thought he would, being not only smaller than Adrian Chiles, but also Christine Bleakley! And she's a bit shorter than Adrian, at 5' 8.5"!

I'm in complete argeement, shredder. I've always thought he was 5'11". He never looked more than 2 inches shorter than Carl Weathers, not in Rocky 3, not in pictures, and he also looked at least 5'11" with Hulk Hogan and I generally thought he looked about that height on The A-Team.

T was even taller than 5'11 guys. He was a big 5'11 small 6'0 guy, like 5'11 3/4. His persona back when was that he was like the toughest guy in the World, so he got rounded down to 5'11 because people like to cut the the tough/big guy down to size. He was the SLIGHTEST bit shorter than Jim brown and joe namath guys who were listed at 6'2 by the NFL!

Mr t was about 5'11.75. he only wore those amature wrestling shoes in those wrestling matches which give you absolutly no height increase and the wrestlers had those big wrestling boots on that give you like 1.50 inches. So 6'1.5 Roddy Pieper was 6'3 in the boots, Mr T was less than 3 inches shorter with no heel! I'm inclined to give Mr T 6'0. He was only 1 inch shorter than 6'0-6'1 George Peppard.

Anonymous, you're not the only one who thinks Stallone is 5'10.75". I agree with you and so does Glenn, ACG and a few others. Plus some other regular posters like Leung and Leonari have him at a flat 5'10". So while many disagree with you, a lot of posters like myself have him in the same range.
As far as Mr. T I suspect he was 5'11" or a bit over and wore lifts, he appeared very close to Carl's height as you mentioned.

If Carl Weathers was 6'2, no way was T 3-4 inches shorter. Come on, he was only a little shorter, Weathers was a little, but not alot taller than stallone and T was almost the same amount taller. I only see Weathers being 2 inches taller max! and more like 1.5 inch. 6'0 for Mr T. If Weathers was 3-4 inches taller than T then he would have been like 5 inches taller than Stallone and you would have almost had a Lundgren type stairdown between Weathers and Stallone, and that was not the case. I may also be the only person alive that thinks that Stallone was about 5'10.75

He definately looked nearer 5'11" peak, saw photos of him recently with Christian O Connell the DJ and he was looking 5'10" max. He seems to be exactly an inch shorter than Peppard. He is a lovely guy, quite surprisingly so actually given his image.

Maybe Mr. T wears lifts? After all at times he seemed very close to Carl Weathers height in Rocky 3 and I peg Weathers at 6'1.5" peak. But other times he does seem more in the 5'10"-5'11" range. I'd bet he was a solid 5'11" though and looked taller sometimes because of lifts. If he looked close to Jim Brown's height then he must have worn lifts because Brown is or was about 6'2".

T was a flat 6'0.In an A-Team Episode he walks right next to Jim brown and is barely any shorter, and in the same episode he stands right next to George Peppard who is 6'0-6'1 again is barely shorter. His fighting weight was about 225-230 but by the end of the A-Team he had gotten up to 240-245. In the same episode he is at least as tall as Joe Nameth if not a fraction taller!

Mr T was the shortest on the A team but not much shorter than face was, they were very close in height the two of them, and all four of them were close in height anyway, Murdock being the tallest at 6'1, so back in his prime 5'10.5 seems about right nowadays more like 5'10.

Yeah Glenn, people will say anything to downgrade Sly.
If Mr. T is 5-10 then Gene Hackman was a very weak 6-1 even in the 80's and that's BS.
The 5-8, 5-9 rumors come from the fact that he was big and ripped and so that can make him look shorter or people could have expected him to be 6-1 like he was listed in the 80's.
Could you imagine how short Mr. T would look at 5-10 next to Gene Hackman(in cowboy boots) especially since he's leaning.
His head would be under Hackman's eyes factoring in Hackman's boots and the fact that Mr. T is leaning.
He's 5-11, no doubt. He wasn't much shorter than Carl Weathers in Rocky 3 and Carl was between 6-1 and 6-2.

Another inflate for Rising. 5' 10" is T's height. Making of "Rocky Three" has T taller than Sly which is what you'd expect in the footwear you'd expect a 5' 8.5" Sly to wear in training. He brings out the wedged up customs for the films.

Lets take the average of everybody here. Lowest being 5'6, highest 5'11, So currently he is probably 5'8.5. Considering you could lose up to 3 inches as you age and considering you are taller in the morning, after your body rests, he could very well have been the strong 5'11 as he has stated.

Yeah Glenn but I can't see over 3" between him and Sly in the slippers scene. Since I believe Sly is 5'10.75" or 5'10" at worst then I think Carl is a little over 6'1". he also seemed a bit shorter than 6'2" Arnold in the 80's.
Besides if Carl is 6'1" and change it's not hard to imagine your friends estimating him at 6'2". He could be 6'2" though, I haven't met him so I can't say for sure. He was listed 6'3" in his football days.

He may have been the shortest, but the man weighed well into his 230's (ton of muscle) if not more in the early-late 80's.

ok, this height is wrong, imo
Mr T was just on The Footy Show (the rugby league footy show, in Australia) and he was shorter than Matthew Johns, who is 5'9" and was wearing jandals/thongs/very flat sandals (depending on the word they use in your country). It was a terrific opportunity to compare their heights, as they were constantly in each others faces, Johns even tried to kiss him. The tallest listed height I can find for Johns is 177cm, but to me he is 5'9"
Mr T's current height is under 5'9", that's for sure

Mr. T looks about 1-1.5" taller than Sly in Rocky III, who in my opinion is an even 5'10". I'd say that Mr. T was 5'11", maybe 5'11.25", in his peak.

Listen Fool - it don't matter what height the T-man is. He is obviously pressed down by the sheer weight of gold bullion hanging around his neck. Also, if you were trying to get into a club and he told you you weren't on the list - would you argue???

The thing about T is he mostly looked 1 inch shorter then Dirk Benedict who I peg at 5'10.5/179cm in his prime. Dirk in turn was an inch shorter then peppard who was definately a wee bit shorter then his prime 6' height. We pretty much have Dirk down pat as being between 5'10-5'11 from various people meeting him and I agree he looks like a medium sized guy. So that would have pegged T at 5'9.5" back in the day. Yet a lot of times he seems shorter still and has even said in his own words "Mr T was heavy once but never a tall man", lifts?
Notice they used camera tricks to compensate the fact BA was supposed to be a tall bulky man and T was just bulky;
Click Here
Also in this pic I think if you take off the mohawk Mr T is about 2 inches shorter then Peppard. I have peppard at 181cm approx at this time based on him being almost an inch shorter then Ernie Hudson in the episode "Taxicab wars" but in the same episode he has a marginal advantage over 180cm Michael Ironside.

I went to Madam Tausauds in London in 1987 and they had his wax figure there. I was 5'8 at the time and i stood facing him and we were eye to eye! I was shocked how short he was (if the figures are real sizes) so i would say he is 5'8 or 5'8.5 barefoot. He did and still looks short on TV.

Yeah Mr T seems like a funny guy I laughed when he said on "bring back the A-team" that they were going to cast James Coburn in the lead role but he was unavailable and then Stephen Cannell bumped into George Peppard drunk on Hollywood Boulevard having been sacked from Dynasty and felt sorry for him and gave him the part.

He didn't appear THAT short on Conan a few years ago. He was all decked out in Silver and was dancing!! It was hilarious. they were playing with his old A-Team doll and Mr. T said you know when I don't wear much jewelry it means that I'm not making enough movies and T.V. shows. He has a great sense of humour. Conan LOVED him.

I watched the hilarious, "bring back the A-team" on youtube the other day. It's split into parts but you can link to the next part at the end it goes through them all. Interesting stuff about George Peppard being a bit of a git about the women and falling out with Mr T.
Click Here
In the show the hilarious presenter -who is short- meets the surviving cast members. It was quite surprising actually. Mr T wearing trainers did look taller then average I thought. Also Dwight looked much taller stood next Dirk then he ever did on the show. They even made a joke about it when dirk said something like he always looked better in front of the camera and Dwight said, "yeah but I was always taller" and towers over him, it's right there at the end when they meet in the bar.
It was a great show anyway, they were all really nice with the guy even though he must have seemed really strange to them. Especially Marla Heasley as he just ran up to her when she was out shopping and asked her to be on the show, that guy rocks! I also though Stephen Cannell, Dwight Schultz, Jack ging and Mr T just seemed like really ordinary, nice people. How did you find T glenn?

As someone as said before, it was a big joke in the 80's of how short Stallone was. It was back before he wore elevator shoes, so everyone knew he was 5 foot 7. I give Mr T. 5 foot 8 and a half for being slightly taller than Stallone.

I'm not sure on this guy to be honest, I have the box sets of A-team season 1 + 2 now and their heights seem to go up and down like a yo-yo. Mr T is clearly the shortest but often he can look close to Dirk Benedict's height and then other times atleast an inch shorter then him. I'm going to keep watching season 2, there's a potentially interesting episode called "taxicab wars" with Michael Ironside, Brion James and Ernie hudson in.

As for Rocky III, I noticed that years ago. But I also thought that was one of those angles for the sake of the character to make him look much larger than Stallone. Like with Hulk Hogan in the same movie. Stallone may not be that tall in real life, BUT, in that camera angle where he's staring into Hogan's chest? Come on, Hogan isn't 7"0 feet tall. In all other screen appearances to me, I thought Mr. T looked like what Brain said below, 5"8-5"9.
