I spoke to him at a “premiere” for a small movie and I was shocked at how tiny some of the actors and actresses were. I was 5’6” at the time and he was not taller than me . At first, I thought it was strange, then realized that his acting made him project that size.

Rob, how about a tad under 6’3” for a peak Dennehy?
He often seemed in that 6’2.5”-6’2.75” bracket in his prime.

at worst 6´2 , at best 6´3. I think 189 could be better. didnt make stallone look short for example.

Didn't look a full 6ft3 but his posture wasn't that good, making him look nearer 6ft2. I still think he'd easily measure over that though I think 6ft2.75 could suit him.

Not much taller than Crenna in First Blood, I think 6'2 max 6'2.5, very high weight I think 270lbs.

Safely over 6ft2 flat but might’ve fallen a little short of the 6ft3 mark.

Anyone who is claiming he is 6'1 or even lower LOL is ridiculous. Although above average height in the US, it is hardly considered big man status even with wide shoulders. You need to be at least 6'2 for that. So he was likely somewhere between 6'2-6'3. He looked quite tall in To Catch a Killer in which he did a great acting job (you can see it on youtube) despite the fact that he was well into his 50s by then. In the movie he did about Coach Bobby Knight, he did look wider and shorter than the real Coach Knight who was around the 6'5 area.

Brian Dennehy was a really big man, but I thought he looked more of a weak 6’3” or a strong 6’2” as opposed to a solid 6’3”. My guess for Dennehy’s peak height is 6’2.75”.

Brian is clearly taller by 2inches makes him 6ft1.5inch and he was then 61 years old.
Also both have stand with good posture.
So it could be that Brian was in his peak near 190cm, before the operations and all the problems that he had wis his health... . Great actor.

Crenna had good posture while Dennehy always slouched. With that said, I think probably a weaker 6'3". Fwiw, Brian looked about 2" taller than Burt Reynolds in Semi-Tough, but Burt had elevator boots and better posture.

Yes,he is a bit taller than 6'1 Richard Crenna. I would say that he is no more than 6'2'' tall.

A strong 6'2 and with footwear 6'3! I think he was not a full 190cm but very close. He was more in the 188cm zone barefoot. Next to Richard Crenna (6'1) in First Blood Brian looks a bit taller than Crenna. Only a bit taller so 188cm is reasonable to him
Nowadays... who knows???
Good role in First Blood, very credible!

i think 190 cm ore 0,5 cm under could be better listing. today i have no idea, if i remember right it looked like he was fraction taller than russel crowe couple years ago. so maybe little under 6 foot today. but he have terrible posture. maybe he always was and still is half inch taller than he looks. but i still think almost 191 sounds little mutch

I agree with 190 cm peak, but who knows nowadays? He's lost A LOT of height. Clearly has back problems. Even years ago, he never had good posture, which may have made him look shorter to some.

Saw him yesterday in Silverado. He looked taller than Kevin Kline. In one shot next to Jeff Goldblum he looked clearly shorter but Goldblum had ground advantage and Dennehy had bad posture. Before that, when Dennehy and Goldblum met in the saloon, on even ground he held his own next to Goldblum. Dennehy was around the 1`90 area

It's important to remember he always slouched and hunched, but was still much bigger than James Woods in Best Seller. This guy lost A LOT of height, even by Righteous Kill when he was only about 69. Naturally his posture can make him look shorter, but he had to be quite tall in the 70s and 80s to still look as huge as he did at times.

For some reason or other, and I'm presuming it's because he was big in more ways than just girth and height, they've had whole days devoted to Brian's films on one of the 'True' channels. This gave me ample opportunity to take in that he is very tall, so 6ft3 it will be! It also gave me an equally king-sized opportunity to grow tired of him in one day flat!

Mr. Dennehy looks like he's under six feet now. He has scoliosis, and is curved over pretty substantially. In Silverado, he was full height, but hard to tell with cowboy boots on. Looked huge.

Not really an inch taller than Hackman, although Hackman appears to have better posture. It's quite possible that Dennehy measured 6'2.25"-6'2.5" as a young man with good posture but I've never been convinced the guy was a full 6'3".
Here's an unsual line-up of Kevin Bacon, Christopher Meloni, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Rudd (Rudd I think is stand a bit closer so looks taller than he really is), does look similar range as with Meloni in older age.

In Rambo: First Blood, he appeared to be about 6'1" and then some with the boots. Brian has bad posture. But, he still made Stallone look small. Brian is a big man, but needs to pull his head back a few inches cause it appears his head is sunken where his neck should be. He could be closer to 6'2" with better posture. For sure in his younger days.

rob,
perhaps you have underestimate brian dennehy height by few inch. although he have bulky and 6ft to 6ft1-ish looking build. but when i watch summer catch , he can look close 6ft3 next to 184-185cm freddy prinze jr when he stood up straight. i think 6ft was unfair. im confident anybody did be surprise he stand up well next to 6ft3 guy he can be near it. ;)
he had a weir standing posture like a turtle, pardon my words(which is laughable) strechable neck. i think he can be in 189-190 range if he stand straight and relax down at 6ft.5 , nowadays at least a flat 6ft2 straight up.

My dentist is almost exactly my age. The other day he remarked on how big I am. I told him I had only shrunk one quarter inch in the last fifty years. He replied that he had lost two full inches in jsu the previous year. He wasn't very happy about it.
The point is that men shrink on average a centimeter or so a decade but individuals vary tremendously. The big shrinkers seem to be Clint Eastwood, Senator Alan Simpson and Brian Dennehy.
I love Dennehy in the movies because he always plays a big guy but unfortunately he is no longer the man he once was. He's shrunk so much that his personality no longer fits his frame.

Just saw “The Next Three Days”. It’s amazing but in some scenes he appears to be shorter than Russell Crowe (5-10? 5-11 max?).
He definitely is a big guy (over 6-2 in his prime) but he has shrunk a lot these days. Good actor.

...we lose.5 by 40?? At 21, I was "barely" 6 feet. At 43, I'm 6'0, minimum, average about 6 and a quarter, and am just about 6'1 when I get up. I had arthritus in my knees by 21 (discovered after a knee operation), thin bones, and don't do any different exercises than I did 20 years ago. So, alot of the assumptions about height loss, on this site, I disagree with.

Gonzalo, Dennehy rarely stood straight so it's not surprising that he was slouching in that film.
In Presumed Innocent Ford was still likely around his peak height of 6-1 and Dennehy was already 52-53 years old. So if he still looked around 6-3 then without great posture then it seems even more likely that he was 6-3 in his 30's and 40's.

Exactly what I was saying Danimal. Dennehy rarely stood straight even back when he did First Blood so that could also make him seem shorter. His poor posture may have also been because of a curvature of his spine.
He's lost a noticeable amount of height and he's now 70 years old plus he's always weighed a lot.
I haven't seen anything to contradict that he was once around 6-3.

Nope. Here you're wrong again. I flew on a plane back from Vancouver seated next to him. We chatted all the way. Then, at the airport we spoke. I'm 5'11" and Dennehy was about two inches taller. He's an enormous fellow. Very broad shoulders. But no way is he 6'3".
Men lose height as they grow older. By 40 we lose .5" and every decade after that we lose another .5". A healthy man by 70 will have lost 2" in height. A man suffering from osteoperosis or curvature of the spine may shrink even more. In all likelihood he is a weak 6'1" today and a weak 6'3" at his peak.

Dennehy is atleast 6'1" now. In fairly recent pictures with Laurence Fishburne, he had atleast an inch on him.

Rob, can you upgrade his current height to atleast 6'1" or 6'1.5"? I doubt he's lost a full 3". Both Glenn and JT saw about 6'2" in the late 90's. It's probably his posture that makes him look as low as 6 feet.

6'3" is correct, he's a large man. No way he's shrunk 3 inches though. At the worst he's 6'1"-6'1.5" and his posture makes him look 6'0".

Looks a tad over 6' in that picture, and i have to agree: He's lost a LOT of height, but i don't think that much because i also don't think he was 6'3 at his peak. A good 6'2 maybe, but not 6'3.
It's also unknown if he wears lifts in movies or not.

what the hell?! i cannot believe this seriously....3 inches loss?! that's like 9cm not even the pope lost that much after the worms ate his bones.
looks 6'1 to me in the image and i do agree on 6'3 years ago although not quite 191cm but like 189-190cm.
the 6'0 listing is wrong and should definetely be changed.

Over time most people do tend to shrink, my grandfather at his tallest was 6'2" and now is just barely 6'.
I'm 17 and 6'3" and expect to shrink a little in the next 50 years.

Guys, be more humble! It's not because "you don't find something is possible that it is "not"! Some people loose up to 4 inches!I work in a hospital and I can assure you that intervertebral disks can shrink exactly as a sponge which gets dry and hard. A very tall man as Lou Gosset Jr lost at least 2 inches!
Clint Eastwood lost the same without looking for all that, "hunchbacks" or disabled.
Brian Dennehy is a very very bulky broad shouldered man. His trunk looks "short" though it is not at all! That morphotype leads to get shrunk as getting on in age, notably concerning the nucleus pulposus which becomes as a stonelike cartilage. Those disks are 80% water and it is easy to imagine that once that water off, they look like "dry grape"! Have you ever noticed the difference between normal and dry grape?

Watched FX2 last night. Bryan Brown claims 6'1/2". Sounds real. In a hallway seen Brown needs to pass Dennehy. They look the same height... and then...
Dennehy sucks in his stomach and stretchs about 3 inches. I believe he really was 6'3" or so as he claimed. His posture is and has been just slouchy.

Like I said, his knees went...were replaced. That took some height off.
Years of dealing with bad knees damage your back as well...and he is 69 guys. Give him a break! The guy has been doing 2 shows almost every day on Broadway, with touring companies, in Chicago and in London for several years. Can't do that if you are not strong.
I have been next to him and he IS a big guy. This is an old picture...he has lost a lot of weight and looks super.
Still a big guy in stature though. My husband is 5'11 ft. He is a good 2 inches above that. I would have put him at 6 ft 3-31/2 in the past. He is about 6'1-1/2 now.
And he can be the greatest guy...has been to me and to many I know. Funny and talkative in the right place at the right time. Not when he is busy, tired or
whatever. That would go for anyone. I have yet to meet a single person anywhere in the world that is not a grump from time to time. We all have things to deal with but don't have people stopping us and flashbulbs going off.....so give him a break.
Please? : )

Just watched "10th And Wolf". Dennehy looks to be a tad over 6 feet these days.
At 20 or so I was just a tad under 6'2". 40 years later I'm about 6' 1/2" fully stretched. I have never been sick. Never smoked or drank. Always exercised. I shrunk over an inch. It just happens. My friends my age have also shrank. Gravity. Crap wears out. We shrink. Dennehy has terrible posture. He's very over weight. Looks to have back problems when he walks in the movie. A tad over 6 foot tops.

When I was twenty five I was 6'4". Nearly forty years later and I'm still 6'4". That is when measured the same way. I'm sure some men shrink in their fifties and sixties but on this site shrinkage is invoked as an all purpose explanation for height estimate variations.
Dennehy is obviously a big guy. He is also a heavy guy. He has no reason to walk around fully stretched up so as to appear as big as possible. Many smaller men do that. They appear on the street and just casually standing around as if they are in the doctor's office being measured. Dennehy appears here in a self confident slump. Liam Neeson likewise doesn't need to stretch to obtain every last inch. He knows he's big. He doesn't worry about posture.
Put Dennehy on a scale with a height measurement stick and he would probably stretch up another inch over what he appears in this picture. Tall guys don't need to adopt optimum posture like Stalone or Kurt Russel.
My guess is that most of the guys like James Garner or Clint Eastwood who are believed to have shrunk are mearly slumping. If Eastwood was 6'4" thirty years ago he was 6'4" in the doctor's office and 6'4" walking down the street. Today he may very well walk around at 6'2" but in the doctor's office when he is told to stand up straight he's probably still very nearly as tall as he every was.

Glenn, closer study of this photo tells me I was focusing too much on the difference in your eye levels, but Dennehy has a very "high-domed" forehead -it just keeps going on like some kind of vertical wall. Hence I feel that he could be 6'2" here, but tell me, how tall did he seem to you, and did you by chance get a glimpse at his footwear? He doesn't strike me as the type who'd wear lifts.

I say 6'2" at his peak and 6'1" now is perfect. This is a very imposing man
physically, absolutely terrifying as John Wayne Gacy in the t.v. movie, but he never seemed as tall as 6'3" to me, and I agree with UNK that he's actually kept most of his height. And yes, Glenn, that is an incredibly dark shot of the two of you, really marvelous, with good skin tones and natural eye color,
very difficult to achieve outside at night.

He is tall, that´s clear, but his posture isn´t the best, maybe because of overweight. I think he is around 6´2. He looked much shorter than Jeff Goldblum in Silverado. And he looked shorter than Chevy Chase in Foul play. But he was taller than Kevin Kline and William Hurt. Could he ever be 6´3? How tall are then Chase and Goldblum?

Rob: that was a quick change for Dennehy. When I logged on early this morning, you had him at 6-2. I know he played Bob Knight in an ESPN movie about IU's 1985-86 season. I know that Bob Knight is 6-5 and Dennehy just did not look that. I haven't seen him in years. I assume 6-1 is correct.

Editor Rob the eternal problem...shrinking celebrities. I do think he was, as Mr R pointed out a big guy, but recently just doesn't look as tall.
when a star stops movies or goes out of limelight or passes away, I would then change the listing back to peak. Yeah, I'm not totally consistant on that point, but will always mention peak/current if I think they shrink...

Actually, when I was in New York during his Gorky Park days, he was listed at 6-4. Seems a little high, but he did seem taller than 6-3 William Hurt in Gorky Park.
