The Baywatch series is on Amazon prime. There are many scenes with Billy and Erica Eleniak, barefoot and in low sneakers. They could be height 'twins'.

What a weird film ‘Society’ is! It starts off with various ‘WTF?’ moments, culminating in one giant orgy, wherein bodies are literally melting into each other. Quite honestly, I’ve never seen anything like it, AND it’s from 1989, so well ahead of its time.
As the story gets underway, you wonder if Billy is being drugged and hallucinating, or simply going psychotic, but he isn’t. The townsfolk, from Beverley Hills, are stinking rich, and this tale is truly taking their power to the extreme. If Billy really is only 5ft5.5, one barely notices because his looks are impeccable!
Well, that’s what he gets from me. Nobody in the movie seems terribly tall, so Billy blends in nicely. His proportions are such that he could pass for an inch taller.

Oh, great - I thought Billy was here!
Once upon a time, there was a series of films on TV called ‘The Extreme Season’. Each one was introduced, but the one that had the severest warning was a movie called ‘Society’. The guy who gave the viewers his own personal synopsis, was an experienced film buff, and he said about the night’s offering,“It takes a lot to shock me, but this one really did unnerve me.”
I proceeded to watch ‘Society’, and I can honestly say that it is body horror taken to the extreme, with no conscience for moral decency. I was trying to find a copy online for ages to show my boyfriend and finally succeeded. While rooting around for my copy of ‘Firestarter’, I inadvertently found it, so I will give it a watch presently and see whether I’m still equally disgusted!
I’ll get back with Billy’s height afterwards.

Rob, he's between 5'4" and 5'4.5":
With 5'5" Alicia Leigh Willis (who is in sandals and Billy has a big heel on his shoe):

With 5'5.5" Henry Winkler:

With 5'11" Wally Kurth (who is clearly not standing straight and Billy's closer to the camera):

And finally, with 5'7" Julie Pinson (who is actually standing straight, unlike the picture you provided above and she's in flats):

Even in the above pic, Julie's clearly in FLAT sandals and not standing straight, while he's wearing a chunky heel and is standing very straight, yet she still has a good 1.5"-2" on him. Put him in flat sandals like her and she'll have 2.5"-3" on him.

I can see how he has looked a weak 5ft 5 range at times, I'd have thought he seemed barely over 5ft 4 with Winkler, but to be fair Henry did have on
Big 2 inch heels while Warlock was in converse.

5 ft 5 range yeah, surely nothing higher than 166cm anyway.

Thet are rerunning Baywatch on an obscure movie Channel in the UK. There was a barefoot beach scene last night with Erica Eleniak. They looked very similar in height. I'd be suprised if if there was a half inch difference between the two. 165/166 I think is fair.
Robby D said on 6/Jun/12
I agree with Shaun. When he was in Baywatch he was barefoot on the beach and all the girls also barefoot were taller than him. I would say he could be closer to 5'4"
Shaun said on 3/Jun/11
5'5" flat max. Definitely not 5'6"
Shaun said on 23/Mar/11
Rob he's clearly shorter than 5 ft 5.5 Henry Winkler.
Editor Rob
he could be under 5ft 6 yes. That photo winkler has 1 inch footear advantage...
Shaun said on 23/Mar/11
No way is he 5'6". He's similar to Michael J F ox. 5'4.5"-5'5" I think.
Cæsar said on 7/May/07
He's always had the exact same build and oddly enough, a similar face to 5'4 and 1/2 Emilio Estevez. He is not tall, but as someone said below, he is a very attractive man, especially for his age of 44, and I would gladly shrink down to 5'5-5'6 if I could look like him.
X said on 4/Apr/07
Yessssssssss, He was Roger's little brother "Flip" on Happy Days and wore all those half-shirts.
He did appear to be shorter than the Fonzie character.
sf said on 20/Mar/07
On Happy Days, he was clearly shorter than 5'6" and 1/2 Fonzie - I'd say 5'5".
leonari said on 19/Mar/07
X: I agree. But he is at least 5'5"
X said on 19/Mar/07
During his "Days" days, magazines listed him as 5 ft. 4 and sometimes as 5 ft. 4 and a half. During his "Baywatch" days, it was clear that his on-screen girlfriend (portrayed by 5 ft. 6 Erica Eleniak) was at least an inch taller.
IMO, his build puts him closer to 5 ft. 4 than 5 ft. 6.

I always figured Billy was not real tall, clear back from his first appearance on Days of our Lives. But at 5'6" or 6'6" he is really good looking
