Rob, that movie is called Death Benefit
Here's a still of him with Gainey (these overhead angles are not great for judging height) but the movie is on Youtube

Click Here Go the 47 minute mark to see Peter's scene with MC. Very brief but when they walk through the door they appear to be somewhat close
But also here are some more recent photos of him stacking up well with Drew Scott and Ed Begley Jr.

Ed is probably closer to 6ft3 these days though and his posture isn't great generally.

Editor RobTricky to tell from the scene.

Rob, maybe 6ft1¾ is a compromise?
That or 6ft2. Perhaps he did once during the 90’s get an early morning measurement of just over 6ft2. Today I think he’s still looking over 6ft1 and he will be 70 this year (doesn’t look it). Very bad posture though, always hunched

Editor RobWould be interesting to catch a little film he appeared with MC Gainey in, to see how they compare.

Question is Rob, could he have been that tall?

Editor RobIt wouldn't have been my first guess.

I wonder if there’s any truth to that claim, Rob?

Editor RobMight have come from Peter himself and been worked into the article.
A bit like the article that had Ken Kirzinger a 1/4 inch over 6ft 5....these kind of things usually originate from the actor.

Rob, this article from 1995 describes Peter as 6ft2 and change, may be worth adding to the text above.

Watching Thirtysomething, I still think 6ft2 is believable peak and today probably closer to what you have him at.

Editor RobQuite a specific description, I'll mention it thanks.

Jake, I think 188cm in the 80’s-90’s is arguable. Today 186-187cm

Rob, could Ken Olin get a page?

Click Here w/h David Clennon (more 6ft1½-2 than 6ft1 flat as reported on the web)
I think 5ft11 as listed in places looks reasonable for Ken's peak. Right between Horton and Busfield

Watching Thirtysomething he reminded a lot of Mark Pellegrino...I still think 6ft2 could have been his peak and now maybe 6ft1-1½. He towered over everyone on the show

Rob is 6ft2 peak and 6ft1½ now possible?

Editor RobI'd need to keep an eye on a bit more to decide on it.
