I am watching HALLOWEEN III and he looks taller than 5'11". At least 6'1". Never realised until listening to the commentary track that he'd been in as many films as he has. Good actor! Handsome too!

Met him and he's not tall at all actually. He's 5'8 same height as me.

You realize the man is 80 years old right? Most men his age will have lost minimum 2", if not 3" from their peak. He was 5'11" and could be between 5'8" or 5'9" today. If you had met him 35 + years ago, I assure you, you would have been looking up to him in height. People SHRINK as they age.

Truebut most of the actors are generally between 2 and 4 inches shorter than listed. I've only met one or two that was close to his listed height.

I'm 5 feet 8 in my shoes by the way. So he's probably also 5 foot 7 actually. Sorry but my phone won't let me type the height for some reason.
