I made a small mistake. The last but one guy is William Marshall, and he’s 6’5. I’ve just written the wrong name. Not sure how.

Hope you enjoy. Watch part 1 before commenting about missing actors, nobody is replicated from part 1.
@@EvaLinds thank you 😊
So many great actors ...many now gone to the studio in the sky ...but their great movies live on..
I saw part 2 ,because I didn't know it was a 2 parter,sorry about that.
@@jamesfahy-pl2cv no need to apologise, I appreciate you
So where’s part one?
Audie Murphy was only 5' 6, but he was a giant.
Absolutely
Actually the average male heights in the 30s up through 40s ranged between 5'6 to 6 feet.
@@coleparker OK
@@allenatkins2263 Atkins surname. That is interesting coincidence in that my mother's maiden name was Atkins, and I live on Atkins Ave. in Ridgecrest.
In terms of guts and courage, no one stands taller than Audie Murphy.
That’s the second comment of this nature today 😃
Murphy was the real McCoy.
Audie Murphy was a real life action hero and true American badass. he might have been shorter but he stood taller then all of the others
Came here to say this
OH !!! Hell yeah !!! Most decorated US Soldier in History , absolutely !
It's amazing how many of these actors were able to conceal their shortness or tallness
in stature, during their acting careers! At 77, I have seen a few of them, in person, &
knew that they were much shorter then they appeared on screen! Even some tall actors
had to hide their extreme height, for fear of being too tall for female co-stars! Great job!
Thank you 🙏
20 years as Marshal Matt Dillion (James Arnes) 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) and wounded in WWII.
You need to read the intro and description before commenting this. He’s in part 1
James Arnes at 79" tall would make an easy target. It makes sense why he was wounded in WW2 and not Audie Murphy.
@@georgcantor7172 part 1 as well
His brother Peter Graves was 6'3".
@@LeeCopus he’s in this video isn’t he?
Audie Murphy was head and shoulders above the rest! Apparently what they said in the old days....dynamite comes in small packages was correct!
Absolutely
How interesting to see a height comparison of all the Three Stooges!
Think there might be 4 😃
I saw all of the "Three Stooges" in person in 1963, i.e. Curly Joe, not Curly,
when I was 16 & realized then how short they were!
Watching this just reminded me of a fun Uncle I had, who had some silly names for the old actors. Victor Manure, Rasil Backbone, Humphrey Go-cart. 😄 R.I.P. Uncle Bud.
Lol
That was very interesting and entertaining! Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Well done and very entertaining . Loved both parts !
Thank you 🙏
@@DataWatch. gonna watch more 😀
I have to say Mark for actors born before 1940 I seemed to know a lot. Mostly from old movies growing up as a kid. This looks like it has taken off in the right direction mate and I hope the trend explodes from now on. It's so reassuring that most of the popular actors ever filmed are of normal height and not extremely tall. There is hope for us yet mate!
Have a great night and all the best with the new release and the merch :)
Thanks mate 😊
def liked, thank you
😊😊
Nicely done
Great audio tracks
I like the way you disk their names “action”
Thanks 😊
Nice work brother ❤️🔥😃.. When I watch your height videos, I always think of how much effort you have to put in to make these🔥.. good one again.
Hopefully I’m back in the views with this
Not sure if it was a coincidence, but switching to Ride of the Valkyries for Robert Duvall was an awesome Apocalypse Now reference
It’s definitely a coincidence 🤣
Fantastic job !!! It's sad that I probably only heard of 70 percent of the actors !!!! Maybe I should have watched more movies growing up !!! Have a great week
It’s based on my comments section of part 1. Almost all of these guys were suggested after not being in that
@@DataWatch. I watched part one but I usually don't read the comments
@@DataWatch. Mark I have a hard time remembering what I watched last week, let alone 7 months ago 🤣
Great job and I saw some good ones. Now that I’ve watched this I think I’m going to watch myself a movie today 🍿 have a great day
😃😃😃
Time for some Western movies today
@@kingoscar6263 absolutely
I can't believe Al Lewis was 6 foot tall. I would have guessed 5'4....
Because Herman was so big lol
Huge like from me. I knew a lot of the classic actors but not no 1 unfortunately… I know you put an awful lot of work into these so I hope this one does well for you too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Lee
Wow you got everybody here. Kudos.
Well with part 1 yes lol
I can’t help but notice how stylish the vast majority of them were
Good observation
@@DataWatch.
Same applies to part 1. Great videos by the way.
I’m a fan of Clint Eastwood who stood 6.4. I saw a picture of him recently with the actor Jason Momao who is 6.4.
I know Clint is 92 and I know people lose height as they grow older but in the pics of him with Momoa he barely reached Momoas Shoulder with the top of his head. It appears that Clint is around 5.8 or less now. That’s a lot of height to lose. I did think it could be the angle of the picture but there were several images and it’s clear that Clint has sadly lost a lot of height.
@@judex3226 yes he’s lost a lot of height bless him.
Style counts for a lot in that profession, especially in Hollywood.
@@judex3226 must have been the angle shot.
We do lose height with age , but a foot ?
Unless there is some spinal issues.
Murphy had more courage and heart than all the rest put together….
I got slated for missing him in part 1
In the war, he was not merely ACTING like a hero.
I wouldn't under rate Donald Pleasance; shot down over Germany and POW.
@@clevlandblock didn’t know that… thanks.
A lot of these guys served, also.
Let's not make it a contest.
Nice😯
Thank you. Did you see part 1?
nicely animated..
Thank you bro
@@DataWatch. welcome
@@DataWatch. welcome sir, i wish i could make videos like you
@@MrData3DStats likewise
Alan Napier I seem to remember him playing Alfred in the Batman TV series..
Yea he was in that
If there's one I remember about Alan Napier as Alfred it's how he towered over Adam West/Batman.
@@radicalross7700 and he was over 6’
@@DataWatch. In the comic book, Alfred looks nothing like Napier and is shorter than Batman.
@@radicalross7700 I wouldn’t know about that so will take your word for it
Nice video but near the end I think 'Michael Williams' looks to be William Marshall aka Blacula
It is. It’s in the description. I’ve written the wrong name, not even sure how I did it. There isn’t a 6’5 Mike Williams far as I know
@@DataWatch. Thanks for replying - BTW Judi Dench's late husband was called Michael Williams but definitely not 6'5" nor classic Hollywood
@@pauld9421 yea I know there is one but like you say not a 6’5 one. I honestly can’t understand why I’ve written that name, I gather the names in a book and I’ve got William Marshall written down at 6’5 hence the correct picture and height 🤷♂️🤦🏻🤣
Strange how you tend to imagine most of them taller or shorter than they are.
I get many comments of this nature
thanks
No. Thank you 🙏
The one that really surprised me was Dustin Hoffman at 5'5 1/2 but the list should have included James Arness at 6"7 since it did include his brother Peter Graves.
Did you not read the intro text, pinned comment or description? There’s a part 1
I would've bet that Alan Napier wasn't on the list but there he was ... looking down at everyone else.
Alan Napier was Alfred Pennyworth on the Batman and Robin show.
Glad he made it 😊
Hopefully this stacks up to the first one 😉👍 Enjoy and God bless 🙏🏼
Hopefully Mike 🤞🏼
@@DataWatch. 🙏🏼😎
While I enjoyed the height comparisons, there's no way that Jack Webb was 5-feet 10-inches tall. That was the whole, long-running joke about his prolific radio and television career: he went into acting because he didn't meet the height requirement for his dream job in the LAPD. At best, he was 5'6" or 5'7".
I’ve not seen anything that backs up your statement! You are welcome to show me something….
Missed Clint Walker at 6.6 and James Arnes at 6.7. Walker was also VERY muscular as well.
I didn’t. Read the intro. They are in part 1 and nobody is repeated in this part 2
Missed Chuck Connors the rifleman too
@@ManuelHernandez-fb9vf no I didn’t. He’s in part 1 with the other names mentioned here 🤦🏻
@@DataWatch. Thanks Datawatch I missed part 1
@@ManuelHernandez-fb9vf ok do catch it….
Robert Conrad only 5'6 ? Wow that was small !!
Yea I thought that
Most of these characters I've never even heard of!
It’s a part 2 based on suggested actors missing. There is a part one with bigger names in
Trivia tidbit: Lon Chaney Jr.'s first name was Creighton. (his mother Cleva's maiden name)
Yea he’s not the only one to have a different stage name shall we say
@@DataWatch. True, that's a whole other video.🙂
@@smorgasbroad1132 yea I guess
LOL ! if you saw the movie with Jimmy Cagney , Man of a 1000 Faces , you will know that and I was surprised at Lon senior's height , which fit with Cagney , who I ASSumed was taller than Jim!
@@theimp5901 I can’t even remember what they are listed 🤣
I have seen some of them as a little girl in cinemas showing old films or on TV they influenced me
Nice 😊
Nice 👍 pa shout out from the Philippines mindanao?😲
Clint Walker 6ft6!!! Dude was an absolute beast!!👊🏼👍🏼
Part 1
Very interesting. Only one thing - isn't that Van Heflin not Dana Andrews?
m.imdb.com/name/nm0000763/mediaviewer/rm2619693312/
I think it’s Dana definitely! Think this is where the pic came from
Left out some of the biggest stars of classic Hollywood. John Wayne comes to mind right off the bat.
Please read the pinned comment, this is just a list of guys I missed from part 1. Many bigger names in part 1
@@DataWatch. thanks I’ll do that.
Who would you take to a fight? Audie Murphy, every time.
You mean take with you?
Supongo que en la parte 1 figuran Gary Cooper, Gregory Pec, Gary Grant, Glen For y Antoni Quin?
All those guys are in part 1. This is part 2 which is a different list like I explained in the intro, pinned comment and description
"Rifleman" Chuck Connor 6'5
He’s in part 1. Explained at the start there are no duplicates in part 2. Part 1 is full of much more famous names
Milton Burle was the tallest of the all..........LAYING DOWN. Legend has it he was hung between like John Holmes 12in+.....but like closer to 13in or 14in
I’ll take your word for it 🤣
How tall Was the height of 5'9 ½ in the 60s, was it taller than average? I'm 5'9 ½-5'10 myself btw. Just curious
Around average even then
@@DataWatch. is it below average nowadays?
@@George-fx3ho no I don’t think so
@@sonza68 yea
Was waiting for James Arnes
He’s in part 1. You not read the description or pinned comment?
Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper? Roy Rogers. I missed them?
You seen part 1? I did explain no one Is repeated at the start. Never heard of rogers though don’t think he’s there
6’7 James arness
Please read the pinned comment. He’s in part 1 and no one is repeated in part 2. This is just a list of guys I missed
Wow the stooges were short? I always imagined Curly being a giant guy.
Haha
Is that picture of Dana Andrews right ? Delon pretty cute.
De Kelley of Dr Mcoy fame at 5'11, against Shatner, he looked teeny and I always thought Shatner was bout 5'4 anyway.
I’ll look later but I’m sure all the pics are correct! Nobody has ever pulled it and trust me after over half a million viewers someone would have
Must be an older version of him cos picture shows blonde or grey hair an his hair is real dark; ( picture's b/w so can't really tell);
Don't worry about it, no big deal;I was just saying that's all.
Thoroughly enjoying all u data videos, including the way u display the screen. Bravo t u on originality.
@@janysmahoney1271 www.imago-images.com/st/0094644383
It’s definitely him
@@janysmahoney1271 it’s from the film Johnny Reno
OK, no worries; hopefully u'll bring more of these cos I just love the era of these legendary ol Silver Screen gr8s...
(Uno, when real men wore spurs or a gun ,spat tabackey, talked hard an took no prisoners,whilst the women were fiesty, independent aswell as strikingly beautiful; u no, femme fetales with lipgloss so shiny, it cud peirce the sun).
#1 lets go
Legend
It had William Marshall listed as Michel Williams . Could be wrong
No you are right, it’s a mistake. I typed the wrong name. It is in the description I’m sure
@@DataWatch. Easy to miss ever now and then. You do a great job
@@bderry9948 thank you so much 🙏
What about John Wayne, Fess Parker? Alot of these I've never heard of.
This is a part 2. All those names are in part 1. I did explain in the pinned comment and Also in the intro I said it was a new list. Part 1 has bigger names

Pa shout out po from mindanao Philippines
Thank you 🙏
Danny Kay seemed to be much taller on screen. I’ve loved him since I was born and actually cried when he passed away. I was in my forties at the time!
I forgot I’d even put him in 🤣
@@DataWatch. 😂😂
I agree abt Audie Murphy! He is one of our greatest heroes. He proves that a person does not hv 2B tall 2BA Giant.😊
Well said
some of these actors i could hide behind i am only 5'1🙂
Nothing wrong with that ☺️
But beautiful, I'll bet.
The average height for US men born in the 30's was 5ft 8in and in the 40's 5ft 9in so relatively speaking some of these were not that short.
Totally agree
I liked the video, but not convinced they are all accurate. Still interesting.
Thanks. You are welcome to discuss with me
What about Richard Kiel at 7'2" with his metal teeth?
I’m pretty sure he was either in part 1 or not born before 1940! Can’t remember which. He’s definitely in the Hollywood actor video
@@DataWatch. Thanks D.W. 6'1" Roger Moore would have been kept awake by Jaws.
@@njd2342 he’s another one I think is in part 1. Have you seen it?
th-cam.com/video/LthRxGt8xV8/w-d-xo.html
If not there it is
@@DataWatch. Part I awaits me - I can't miss the Saint / James Bond.
My biggest surprises: The 3 Stooges and Robert Conrad. I thought they were much taller
Haha lol
Humprey no media eso en Casablanca tenían que ponerle banqueta para que alcance a besar a la actriz sueca qué era su coprotagonista.
What’s that got to do with this video? He’s not even in it 🤣
You missed quite a few. No Humphrey Bogart? Lorre? Ladd? Raines? Tracy? Grant? You've got Dan Blocker but no Michael Landon? Lorne Greene? Pernell Roberts? You missed lots of notables.
Sone of those are in part 1. Don’t actually remember Landon being in a ton of Hollywood films but I could be wrong. He was in a tv series from what I remember. Looks like my pinned comment is falling on deaf ears
@@DataWatch. I just came across this channel this morning. The reason I raise Landon is because he was in the same TV series is Dan Blocker, and you have Dan Blocker as one of the actors
@@alanadale4299 it was just a bit of research I did. Most of the names in this video are suggestions of missing people from part 1. Unfortunately blocker was mentioned but I don’t think Landon was. Part 1 is a much better version in the fact it has much bigger names
Got all the Stooges (whom I Love) but no Brando or Dean 🤔
They are in part 1, I explained this right at the start
@@DataWatch. hey thanks my friend. Subbed 👍
@@TheCelebrityjuicer i appreciate you

Well after 12 million views this is the first time I’ve had a comment of this nature. It’s in tune with the classic theme
Lee Van Cleef
He made it this time 🤦🏻
never heard for half of them
This is a part 2. Much more well known guys in part 1
Clint Walker, 6 ft 6 in. ( with a 48 in chest and a 32 in. waist )
He’s in part 1
good ole Columbo
Yea
Good things often come in small packages .. Kiefer Sutherland , Tom Cruise , the afore mentioned gents . Talent has little to do with size .
Definitely! Those guys are in the Hollywood actor video
JAMES ARNESS, PETER GRAVES brother was 6'8
Arness is in part 1. Read the pinned comment
I can't see how Jackie Gleason was taller then Art Carney.

Looks it to me
Thought Mr Petrochelli himself Klugman was atl63ft ,the 8'9 don't seem right
I don’t understand, you typed this wrong? 🤷♂️
How come Woody Allen, Roman Polansky, Johnny Carson, Bill Cosby, Bob Hope, Robert Blake aren't mentioned?
Dunno some. Some are in part 1. You not read the intro?
I have noticed that several of your height stats are wrong
They are not wrong, they are my opinions. I spend lots of time researching everyone and I think some are falsely listed
No John Wayne? What about Ted Cassidy or Richard Kiel? A whole lot of names left off at both ends of the scale. Like Michael Dunn, who's one of my all time favorites.
I’ve never heard of Dunn unfortunately. The rest are in part 1, I explained this in the intro
Michael Dunn was a "Little Person" who most famously played Dr. Miggalito Loveless in the TV series Wild Wild West, which starred Robert Conrad (who's on this list). He also played Alexander on an episode of the original Star Trek series. An absolutely amazing actor who died way too young.
@@SenseiNWDA I’ll probably recognise his face when I look. Like I said there’s a part 1, check it out. Much bigger names in it
Just watched Part 1. Awesome job.
@@SenseiNWDA ahh thank you, glad you liked it 😊

Too many I've never heard of and you missed a lot of famous ones like Clint Eastwood and James Garner.

Leonard Nimoy way taller than the Canada man William Shatner and Deforest Kelley taller than captain kirk too !!
Yes
At 5-11, I don't feel so short now.
Lol
Again how accurate are your height numbers ?
Some of them are just taken from IMDb. It depends if I can find any evidence to the contrary. That’s how I do it. I’ll look at everyone, study images with other actors, take footwear into account then make a decision based on the evidence. If I can’t disprove their IMDb listing which should be put in by themselves, then I go with it
Errol Flynn was 6 -2. He looked actually taller than Gig Young in the movie "escape me never"
It’s definitely subjective. He claimed 6’2 but didn’t look 6’2 next to 6’2 guys. Think celeb heights have him at 6’1 and a quarter, which I think is generous
Thought Flynn was a legitimate 6’2” ????
@@johnwadd8412 like I say you could argue, but not for me
Is 5'9(175 cm) short for a man nowadays?
I'm 5'9½(176.5cm) and I feel slightly below average tbh
I feel kinda short compared to most youngsters
It bugs me a lot
I only wish I were roughly 5'10(178 cm)
So that I'd feel average
5'10 seems to be the average male height nowadays
Depends where you are. I’m 5’8 never been called short
How about Chuck Conners at 6'5" and James Arness at 6'7"?
They are in part 1. I explained in the intro to the video. And the pinned comment and description
