Google (perhaps from IMDb) says 6'5.5 / 1.97 m. I wouldn't guess that high, but at least 6'4 (give or take a fraction) seems the most likely IMO.

6’3 ¾ is a better listing imo. 6’3 ⅝ is the lowest I’d go.

I’d be surprised if this guy in his prime measured shorter than Conan. Goldblum would have edged him of course
The full 6ft4 can’t be ruled out either. He’s been described as low as 6ft2 and as high as 6ft5

Rob, maybe go with 6ft3¾?

Editor RobCould be a figure to consider. Still don't see him as tall as somebody like Jeff Goldblum though.

He looked no less than 6ft4 on SNL and could pass for 6ft5...made Bill Murray look 6ft tops
192-193cm zone at least

Editor RobI did catch an episode of Quantum Leap not long ago and with bakula could pass for almost 6ft 4 in it...

i think he could have been this listed height but i feel he oculd have beenall the way from 191,5-193,5. But the fact that he was clearly taller than jeff daniels and made bill murray look short and even looked almost the same height as jeff goldblum makes me bleive he could have been closer to 192,5-193.

I think a 6ft4 upgrade would be a vast improvement
He just always looked imposing...I believed 6ft5 for may years

A case for Rocket being 6'5'':
This is a video of Part 1 of his TV movie, "The Steel Collar Man" (I think this was a television pilot that wasn't picked up):
Click Here
From 7:19 to 7:39, Rocket is standing by and looking taller than 6'5''-6'6'' Chuck Connors.
While Rocket is closer to the camera, but he does appear to be around Connor's height. This movie aired in 1985, and though Connors was 64 years old in 1985, there is a 1985 photo linked on Connor's own page, where he looks at least 6'6'' next to 6'9'' Larry Bird. The above video is probably the best case of Charles Rocket being 6'5.''
Below is a link to the memorial article I mentioned in an earlier post, where Rocket's friend described him as 6'5'':

Rob, what do you think was the height difference was between Charles Rocket and the reported and self-claimed 6'3'' Matt Frewer?
Short clip:
Click Here
Based on 1:35 - 1:38, 2:22, and 2:54 from the above clip, Rocket looks about 1 inch or slightly over an inch taller than Frewer.
Full episode:
Click Here
From 5:47 to 5:55, Rocket looks about two inches taller than Frewer, which would have made Charles Rocket 6'5''. However, at 10:50 - 10:51 and 14:59-15:00, Rocket looks 2-3 inches shorter than Julius Carry, who was reportedly 6'5.''
Again, Rocket's height is hard to pin down.

His height is hard to pinpoint, but I knew he was taller than the often-reported 6'2.'' In the dream sequence of "Earth Girl Are Easy," Rocket looked almost the same height as 6'4'' Jeff Goldblum, and Rocket may have been slouching in their face off. Rocket was two inches taller than Jim Carrey in that movie and in "Dumb and Dumber." He was also taller than 6'3'' Jeff Daniels by at least an inch. Rocket also had height over 6'2'' John Goodman in Normal, Ohio (maybe at least 2 inches?). However, Rocket looked 0.5 to 1 inch shorter than 6'4'' John Lithgow in his appearance on "3rd Rock from the Sun." From what I've seen of him on screen, I say he was anywhere from 6'3.5" to 6'5.''
I remember looking at a detailed memorial article about him from one of his friends, and his friend said that Rocket was 6'5.'' So 6'5'' may have been Charles Rocket's height.

Maybe 6'3.25" for Chevy peak, but I wouldn't go under that.

Nah Christian, Chevy was easily that tall in the 70's-80's in SNL, Caddyshack and National Lampoon...

Editor RobProbably 6ft 3.5 up to 4 is arguable, but over 6ft 4 I couldn't see that figure.

@Rampage
I don't think Chevy was as tall as 6'3.5" though. Rocket at his current listing of 6'3.5" is fine.

Here are two great vintage shots of Charlie looming above everyone on SNL including peak Bill Murray. Pulls off 6ft5 rather convincingly there if I may say. I don't know if he wore lifts (unlikely) but I'll tell you this...Chevy Chase whose also down here at 6ft3½ never had that kind of height over Bill. To think that Charlie has been also described as 6ft2!

Click Here that right there is more like Tim Robbins/Vince Vaughn stuff
Rob, I'd seriously consider moving this guy to 6ft4.

Not a great shot but interesting to see Jeff Goldblum at a disadvantage near the more upright Rocket.

Editor RobThey are moving a bit about that scene, though there was one point Rocket was looking up at Goldblum.
See it Here, though do not try to watch that film as the person chopped up all scenes 😄 It's like letting a Dog edit the film.

He was about 6'5. At least 6'4. Looked several inches taller than both Daniels and Carrey. I believe his CV consistently listed him at 6'5. He was known for his height.

For some reason or other, Charles could pass for the brother of a young Princess Caroline of Monaco when she looked her best. Well, that's what I think anyway! ..💭
🤔 "Yup! A convincing brother-and-sister look is what I reckon..." 😉

Thanks Rob!
Personally I would have given 6ft4 but I can accept as the bare minimum. You can see he was noticeably taller than guys like Carrey, Daniels and John Candy.

He actually was on SNL far before his small role. He could've passed for nearly 6'4" in Dumb and Dumber, having noticeably height over Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels.
