I'm gonna need a bigger boat,ORCA

We know Robert Shaw was 5’10”according to his agent.
We know Richard Drafuss is 5’4”
We know Roy Scheider was 5’9” these aren’t up for debate, actors have there heights and there 8”x4” pictures given out for auditions.
I know exactly how tall Tom curse is because I’ve done 3 movies with him but I sign a NDA saying I won’t tell because he doesn’t like people to know. In film hight can be cheated so why is it important you ask. Well some actors like to work in theatre, on stage. Hight is important in theatre because you can’t cheat, a tall woman kissing a very short man

. But on film Tom Cruse can kiss Uma Thurman and you’d never know. So we do know without guessing how tall the crew was.

Very true!!! Funny story, My cousin was working in NYC (I forget which brokerage house) when Micheal J. Fox was filming Bright Lights Big City. Fox literally ran into my cousin running to the set without shoes just socks. My cousin caught him from falling, Fox said Thanks and kept running. My cousin is only 5'4" and he said Micheal J. Fox had to be 4'10" or 5'.
You'd make me look short Flimzy, I'm only 5'9".
