Rob, I think Victor qualifies for the full 1/4. Other celebs such as Robin Sachs, Danny Wallace amongst others gave a similar description of their stature as being "just over" 6ft and they are listed as such. What do you think?
Editor Rob
From looking a bit more, I got the feeling 6ft max.

People who say they are 6 feet can be anywhere from 6ft 0 to 6ft 1/4, even closer to 6ft 1/8 when measured by stadiometer.
Editor Rob
You could be plus or minus a fraction and still class yourself as 6ft.

It's rarer to find anybody ever saying 'a little under or little over' certain marks. It's interesting when they do.

I wouldn’t call 6ft,175lbs husky


Nice listing though. Definitely a handful of others who are eligible this mark
Editor Rob
Well I dug up (by chance, which happens in half of my searches) a quote from ben Chaplin, I think he suits a 1/8th too!

1/8ths figures now? You may as well say he's 6ft. This is getting ridiculous. Also, why are all the older generations actors taller than new generation actors? Lots of these guys were over six feet tall.
Editor Rob
I bet you'd not complain if you were given an extra 1/8th inch 😉

I guess he looks close to six foot generally.
Editor Rob
He did appear in a fair few films of note, around six foot is likely for him.
