"The Rifleman" was a series ahead of its time. A single dad raising a son to do right. The chemistry of the father, played by Chuck Connors, and the son was absolute magic. I highly recommend. It's one you can watch with the kids, too. Some comedy, some drama and a lot of the very nicely constructed Chuck Connors.

Very well put together. I thought Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston would have made the 6'3". I know that in "The Big Country" movie they gave the already tall Peck lifts to make him bigger than Heston and on a par with Chuck Connors, both of whom played his adversaries in the film.
You can safely take off at least an inch from most of those heights. People commonly inflate their height, and even athletes do it. I'm 6'-2 1/2", and I rarely bump into people taller than me. It's just not that common. Occasionally I'll be in Walmart and members of the local university basketball or volleyball teams will be in shopping at the same time. It's good for me to be around people who are taller than I am, because it lets me know what most people feel like when they are around me. But when I'm near them, I also know that they are in my town, an in my neighborhood because the university hunted them down for their skill, but their height is a major part of their skill. If I became famous, I'm sure that my agent would tell the world I'm 6'- 3", or maybe 6'-4", because that's what they do.
What about Kevin Nash? He was the Russian in The Punisher, and one of the guards in the new Longest Yard movie. I thought he was about 6’8” or 6’10” tall.
In some ways it's depressing. I'm at John Wayne, and I recognized only about 6 actors before him, and another 6 or 7 I've heard of. I attribute this to how poorly Hollywood movies have been made in the last 20 years. And I used to like movies. Really a shame.

Dwayne Johnson has been 6ft 5in tall since he was a teenager. They made a big deal about it his whole life a career. Why is everyone trying to make him shorter all of a sudden?
Because he was never 6’5. Just billed that by wwe like they over bill the heights of all their stars. He only ever claimed to be 6’4 but even that is a stretch
Where's Alan Ritchson. I see him listed as 6'3", but have heard him in an interview says 6'4"... though is Reacher he claims 6'5" (but that is likely because of the books).

I think you are aware that are a few of these are not really Hollywood but 2 things. One, people are constantly asking for guys who are not Hollywood so I include them to please people, but then people complain that they’ve never heard of many of them. Unfortunately I have two types of viewer, one that understands, watches and enjoys and the others that nitpick. I could take Hollywood out of the title but if I did nobody would ever see the video. Like I say I’m sure you know how this all works, thanks anyway
Howard Stern is an actor? And does anyone know Hulk Hogan's actual height? Here is says 6' 6", his iMdb page says 6' 7", but when I just saw pictures of him standing next to the A-Team cast, there is no way he was actually that tall. I wouldn't have included any of the wrestlers, football players, basketball players, or strongmen as actors. They were athletes/strongmen that played a role.
@@marcd1981 he looks different in different images. I’ve had people claim Andre the Giant was 7’4 and Hogan 6’4 but when you see them together 6 inch difference max
Stop this nonsense with that ''giant'' thing. You have no idea what you talking about. 6'8 is nowhere near a ''giant'', unless you're a dwarf yourself.
Everybody's 6'3" tall until 2:05. Then we move up to 6'3.25" Great video for those on the autism spectrum and for those whose obsession is movie stars and whose compulsion is statistics.

I hear ya. When he was around 10, my one son would say he wanted to be as tall as our bishop (6'7") when he grew up. Once he hit 6'3" in high school and began to experience the drawbacks of tallness (like trying to squeeze into the driver's seat of a car), he started regretting that wish. Fortunately he only grew another half-inch.
@@DataWatch. After watching my son's experiences, I feel much better about being 5'8". Not so short I can't reach most things, not so tall I smack my head or have to squish myself to fit in a car 🙂.
Great Height for the Hollywood Actors. There's some men that are pretty tall in sports too. My husband is 6'4" and I am 5'1" We just celebrated our 14th Wedding Anniversary
I’ve done quite a bit of research on this! My best guess is you ain’t as tall as you think you are, or your perspective of someone’s height is off. You welcome to show me proof of your height and the pictures of you two together but I’ll take with a pinch of salt for now
*other than clint Eastwood, all current top notch actors are under 6 feet; Daniel Craig, George Clooney, Robert Dinero, Al pachino, Brad pitt, Robert drowny Jr., Matt damon, Tom Holland and few more of them*
I would like to know how tall were the actors that played in the Friday 13th and Halloween horror movies. Micheal Myers and Jason. Also, I wonder how was Freddy Kruger.
@@heatherwarner865 I stand corrected. I worked with him on Jason X. I couldn't remember his name and didn't bother to look it up but I remember he was a pretty big guy.
Only some of them! And I don’t think it’s just necessarily because people lie, it’s because I think they can’t actually measure their own height properly. Some others (Dwayne Johnson for instance) have been billed by their companies to be bigger than they actually are, probably to help them appear even more intimidating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Olivier Richters Born 5 September 1989 (age 34) Hilversum, North Holland, Netherlands Other names "The Dutch Giant" Occupations bodybuildermodelactorCEO Height 7 ft 2 in (218 cm) Olivier Richters (born 5 September 1989) is a Dutch bodybuilder and actor who stands at 218 centimetres (7 ft 2 in). In 2021, Richters portrayed Ursa in the 2021 film Black Widow in a minor role. He also appeared in The King's Man and Louis Wain in 2021, and in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in 2023. Richters also holds the record for the "tallest professional bodybuilder" as of 2021, 12.7 centimetres (5.0 in) taller than Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.[1][2] He was on the cover of the November 2018 Netherlands' edition of Men's Health,[3] and the subject of a documentary by the magazine.[4] Richters claimed [5] his inspiration was Richard Kiel, the actor of equal height who had portrayed the henchman Jaws in two James Bond films.
It is interesting they have dug up skeletons of giants that were like between 8 and 12ft tall in Americas in the late 1800's early 1900's. Some one 7ft tall seems really big, just imagine someone 12ft tall.

These must be 'wrestling heights', some of these dudes were known for being under 6 feet.
Who? Under 6 foot? 🤣
Remember these are peak heights not 60 year old shrunk heights
@@DataWatch. When I was a kid in the 70s they always said John Wayne was 5'11" and Eastwood was 6'1" or 2"
There’s always a myth going round about someone. Wayne 5’11 was obviously started by a hater who saw his boots
Dwayne Johnson has been 6ft 5in tall since he was a teenager. They made a big deal about it his whole life a career. Why is everyone trying to make him shorter all of a sudden?
Because he was never 6’5. Just billed that by wwe like they over bill the heights of all their stars. He only ever claimed to be 6’4 but even that is a stretch
@@DataWatch.No, he is listed as 6’5” before the WWE, when he played at the U!
@@elcaldy4435 I know all of the background. It’s another myth that still sucks people into believing it
Where's Alan Ritchson. I see him listed as 6'3", but have heard him in an interview says 6'4"... though is Reacher he claims 6'5" (but that is likely because of the books).
I’ve got 6’2 and a half so he’s just short
NICE
Thanks
At only 6 feet myself, I'm beginning to think I'm a shrimp compared to some of the heights a lot of young men reach nowadays.
Taller than me mate
@@DataWatch. I was 5,10 in my youth, shrank to 5'8.5 by 49 and after a knee replacement I'm now 5'9.5. Gained an inch by being able to put weight through both legs.
I've never had more than two feet though..
@ that’s a strange one but thanks for sharing it
Daniel Cudmore...XMen 2, Twilight movies as Felix is 6'6.
He never came to my attention tbh
You decided that if they were shorter than 6’ they didn’t matter?
No just a different theme! Already done a full Hollywood actor video with tons of under 6’ guys
Me encanto su trabajo!! Siempre tengo dudas sobre la real estatura de un actor/actriz en el contexto de las camaras ya sean de cine o TV. Algunos no resultan tan altos como de verdad son.
Thank you and you hit the nail on the head with what you said here!
just great actors in there
Yes

Were did you find the numbes? As far as i know, Dwayne Johnson and Lee Pace are 1,96, Donald Sutherland is, I believe, 1,93
Dwayne Johnson was billed 6’5 by wwe, he never was that height. I think he claimed 6’4 on his insta but I think 6’3 peak is fairly generous
The Rock is 6'1, 6'2 at most
Happy to see Buddy Ebson in there, at whatever height.
Just made it 😄
I wouldn't make it ... 5' 7½"
@@Hertog_von_Berkshire unfortunately no 🤣
BTW, appreciate the work you put into this. The research alone must have taken a while, then there's the first class presentation. Ignore the naysayers.
@@Hertog_von_Berkshire thank you friend. They complain but they watch 😉
Nice that Jeff chandler was in there loved his films ,
I’m glad I included him then
So weird which ones turn out to be tallest, and how it doesn't match my idea of who is biggest at all.
I’m intrigued to know who you thought were the tallest 🤔
Una ventaja de Dwayne Johnson es su impresionante físico. Con una altura de 1,96 metros y un peso aproximado de 120 kilogramos, posee una apariencia imponente y musculosa .......
Shame the wwe fooled you into believing that height

Tom Baker was / is a Hollywood actor? What film?
I think you are aware that are a few of these are not really Hollywood but 2 things. One, people are constantly asking for guys who are not Hollywood so I include them to please people, but then people complain that they’ve never heard of many of them. Unfortunately I have two types of viewer, one that understands, watches and enjoys and the others that nitpick. I could take Hollywood out of the title but if I did nobody would ever see the video. Like I say I’m sure you know how this all works, thanks anyway
Howard Stern is an actor? And does anyone know Hulk Hogan's actual height? Here is says 6' 6", his iMdb page says 6' 7", but when I just saw pictures of him standing next to the A-Team cast, there is no way he was actually that tall. I wouldn't have included any of the wrestlers, football players, basketball players, or strongmen as actors. They were athletes/strongmen that played a role.
@@marcd1981 he looks different in different images. I’ve had people claim Andre the Giant was 7’4 and Hogan 6’4 but when you see them together 6 inch difference max
Nice song.
which one? there was 3
RIP Richard Moll , gentle giant
Yes friend 🙏
Stop this nonsense with that ''giant'' thing. You have no idea what you talking about. 6'8 is nowhere near a ''giant'', unless you're a dwarf yourself.
Is this Hollywood in America? Most of these guys I've never even heard of 😂.
Well I don’t even watch films and I knew most of these names…..
I think a handful or more heights were incorrect: Andre the Giant was taller than 7ft-2in!
No. That’s wwe fault lol
I've read accounts where Andre's true height was more like 6'11-7ft
How tall is Alan Ritchson? (Reacher)
6’2.5 for me
Is Michael Rennie dressed in his The Day the Earth Stood Still costume?
I think that’s the one yes
@@DataWatch.
Lol. I thought so! Thanks.
Forgot Charlton Heston 6'3-1/2" or 6'-4". Sam Heughan is 6'-3"
Heston was 6’2.5 peak for me. I dunno the other guy, don’t think he’s ever been mentioned
I wonder if these guys tell tall tales ...only kidding I hadn't realised so many actors were so tall..
Many of them maybe do tell tales mate! I don’t take any notice of what they say when I make these. I research all the heights personally
Btw you should add Chris Pratt hes 6ft 2. Some of the side by sides with Hemsworth though, they look almost the same height.
Yea 6’2 ish, but of course I started at 6’3. He is in some of my other videos
Wilt Chamberlain was in a few movies , i noticed he was missing
Yea I’m getting a few comments like this but many asking why I’ve included basketball players
Everybody's 6'3" tall until 2:05. Then we move up to 6'3.25" Great video for those on the autism spectrum and for those whose obsession is movie stars and whose compulsion is statistics.
I thought it was longer than that. Having autistic sons I know exactly where you are coming from
@@DataWatch. My BIL was an Asperger's guy. The depth of his knowledge about everything Old Hollywood was astounding.
@@jhs8496 I dunno much about Asperger’s but I’d love to have that knowledge. I wing it on these videos I won’t lie
No wonder Chuck Norris isn't listed, after all nobody knows how big the universe is... 😂
Certainly nowhere near big enough to be in this lol
He isn't listed because he's tiny. Look at any picture of him standing next to Bruce Lee, they are the same height, 5'7".
@@craigjomaia yea I reckon he was around 5’8. I think he’s in the original actor video
@@craigjomaia Bruce Lee was 5'8. Norris was 5'10 in his prime.

Olivier Richters worth a mention, 7` 2" I think.
I totally overlooked him sorry. Did he do many films?
@@DataWatch. I know he did Black Widow and The Kings Man.
@@CraigNiel ok I’ll bear in mind
I think Hollywood adds at least 2 inches …
I’m not sure that’s the exact way it works but I do agree many of these guys claimed or thought they were taller than they actually are. If you IMDb many of these guys then look at my figures many are differing and they are listed lower here
I feel inadequate now, lol.

You are close with some, nowhere near with others. I’m a height expert, you are a guy who goes on google and believes what he reads
never heard of most these people.
I’m getting that comment a lot now. It’s a long story but seems like every video I make people are asking for more obscure names. I’m trying to eradicate this kind of comment by including pretty much everyone I can find out about
Do you own a tv???
@IamIUrU77 I do. I just don't live in front of it.
seen few movies of Danny glover ... He is a great actor
Very true mate
Nice, I always wonder how tall some of these actors were. You forgot Lars Mikkelsen 6ft 3 ½
Yes I did! Damn 😏
6'7" since i was 14, never got any taller..thank god
Ouch
I hear ya. When he was around 10, my one son would say he wanted to be as tall as our bishop (6'7") when he grew up. Once he hit 6'3" in high school and began to experience the drawbacks of tallness (like trying to squeeze into the driver's seat of a car), he started regretting that wish. Fortunately he only grew another half-inch.
@@mastick5106 can’t imagine it’s much fun being huge
@@DataWatch. After watching my son's experiences, I feel much better about being 5'8". Not so short I can't reach most things, not so tall I smack my head or have to squish myself to fit in a car 🙂.
@@mastick5106 lol. 5’8 is me too 😊
Great Height for the Hollywood Actors. There's some men that are pretty tall in sports too. My husband is 6'4" and I am 5'1" We just celebrated our 14th Wedding Anniversary
Wow big gap! Only four inch gap between me and my 5’4 wife
Need to add Costa Ronin to your next list - 6'4".

I didn't see Jack Lord mentioned, I think he was either 6'3 or 6'4
Thought he was barely over 6’
This thing is not accurate. I am 6-3 no shoes and I saw Lou Ferrigno in real life and he has to be at least 6-5
I’ve done quite a bit of research on this! My best guess is you ain’t as tall as you think you are, or your perspective of someone’s height is off. You welcome to show me proof of your height and the pictures of you two together but I’ll take with a pinch of salt for now
@@DataWatch. How many times have you talked to Lou in real life?
@@captjim007 what sort of a question is that? We are just gonna have to disagree on this, like I said you are welcome to prove your theory….

Didn't realise that so many were so tall.
Yea some tall dudes there
What about the guy who plays Loki in the Marvel Movies? He's pretty tall.
Tom hiddleston I think. Not 6’3 so too short
I was in love with Richard Kiel AKA Jaws❤
I’ve not watched tons of films myself, but I do remember as a kid seeing him and Roger Moore go at it
Not all are Hollywood actors. You could leave out the Hollywood in the title.
If I did it wouldn’t get suggested to anybody. You know how this works
Rock Hudson and Anthony Perkins.
Your favs? For a minute I thought I’d omitted Perkins but he wasn’t tall enough for this vid 😅
Where is Michaël Jordan?
Err 🤷
I would like to know how tall were the actors that played in the Friday 13th and Halloween horror movies.
Micheal Myers and Jason.
Also, I wonder how was Freddy Kruger.
It’s a video I’m considering. Freddy Kruger wasn’t a tall guy but I know Jason Voorhees was huge
The guy that plays Jason is about 6'4"
Kane Hodder - Jason is 6'2.

You forgot Wilt Chamberlain. He played in Conan
I didn’t. I’m sick of hearing his name 🤣
How accurate are these heights actors bios was know to add a inch or two
Only some of them! And I don’t think it’s just necessarily because people lie, it’s because I think they can’t actually measure their own height properly. Some others (Dwayne Johnson for instance) have been billed by their companies to be bigger than they actually are, probably to help them appear even more intimidating

In 2021, Richters portrayed Ursa in the 2021 film Black Widow in a minor role. He also appeared in The King's Man and Louis Wain in 2021, and in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in 2023.
Richters also holds the record for the "tallest professional bodybuilder" as of 2021, 12.7 centimetres (5.0 in) taller than Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.[1][2] He was on the cover of the November 2018 Netherlands' edition of Men's Health,[3] and the subject of a documentary by the magazine.[4] Richters claimed [5] his inspiration was Richard Kiel, the actor of equal height who had portrayed the henchman Jaws in two James Bond films.
Yea he’s been mentioned already! Won’t lie I completely overlooked him
It is interesting they have dug up skeletons of giants that were like between 8 and 12ft tall in Americas in the late 1800's early 1900's. Some one 7ft tall seems really big, just imagine someone 12ft tall.
I’ve actually not seen a 7’ guy in person I don’t think
