Above looks 5-10. But he’s crouching so that’s taking height away.

Movieguy12 is right - David was huge in the 70s. The girls in my school either fancied David or Paul Michael Glazer.
I wasn't mad on 'Starsky and Hutch', but I was very impressed with David's performance in Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot'. 🧛♂️🦇
His musical career was successful too, and questions on his songs can even pop up on quizzes from time to time. 🎶
Peak: 6ft0.5 and an inch less today.

How exciting to see David Soul starring in an episode of 'Lewis'! He's put on a few pounds since his 'Starsky and Hutch' days, a programme I rarely ever watched, but I thought he was terrific in Stephen King's ace vampire movie 'Salem's Lot', 🧛♂️🦇 wherein he was his full height, which is quite obvious really as it was made in 1979, when David was 35/36!
David's maintained his height rather well, and looks around 5ft11.25 in this Lewis episode, called 'The Indelible Stain', first shown on TV in 2012.
Peak - 6ft0.25 and today - 5ft11. 😁👌

Editor RobI think in that photo tilted down it looks lower than it might be...but 4.8-5 could be a possible range looking at some photos of him, a bit lower than average.

David Soul was huge in the 70s something that younger people who visit this site probably don't realise. Not only was he the co-star of a massive TV show that everyone talked about. He also was a very successful singer and a bit of a heartthrob for a few years. I think he was particularly popular in the UK.
In the 70s he looked tall and blond, I'd guess this was partly the reason he was cast in 'Magnum Force' where he played the leader of a vigilante group of motor cops who had fascist leanings. This is the film where the Dirty Harry character who is sometimes depicted as a rightwing fantasy shows that he is not really politically motivated but someone who believes in upholding law and order.

I think Soul's peak height was 6', he used to wear cuban heels in Starsky and Hutch which is why he towered Glaser by some three inches.

I ask myself if he was full 6"0' finally.
Click Here =here is Paul Michael a lot closer to the camera than Don Johnson,average guess a bit under 5"9' .Camera very low
Click Here =here by the vertical lines of the wall behind them I guess the pic inclined in favor to Paul Michael.And Don does not stand very straight.With a rectified angle of about 3 degrees their eyes are the same height in fact.

I've been seeing a great deal of David Soul over the past couple of days. He, among others, was emblazoned all over the bedroom walls of the two Hodgson girls in the film 'Conjuring 2' and the series 'The Enfield Haunting', just like was the case in 1977!
David gets 6ft0.25 for peak and 5ft11 for now's height.

Just over a year and a half ago, I got hold of an inexpensive copy of 'Salam's Lot' when I was plumping out my collection of Stephen King films! I also bought a nice new 'Sleepwalkers', with my brother in mind, because I'd told him about the cat scenes and I decided that, being as it was his Birthday, we could spend the evening watching it, which went ahead exactly as planned and he loved it, particularly the multi-hued and uni-coloured cat gatherings!
Of the other films I bought, including 'Night Flier' and 'Creep Show', the one I enjoyed beyond all expectations was 'Salam's Lot'! Out of the four stories, only 'Night Flier' was unseen by me, but I got by far the most enjoyment from 'Salam's Lot' and the reason for it wasn't just the uniquely original storyline, but of course, the acting. I did occasionally watch 'Starsky and Hutch' and I loved it when I could see it, but I had to always put my 🐖ing homework first at the orders of my Mum, so this was the first decent opportunity to find out why David's pictures adorned so many of my classmates' bedroom walls.
I knew from my teenage magazines, that Mr Soul was around the 6ft mark! He was ready and willing to be interviewed for the mags, and then, of course, we received double bubble of pictures and articles on him because he became a pop star, but even back in that era, I went for progressive rock, though as far as pop songs were concerned, I found his above average, or if they'd been unfortunate enough to find their way into my home, they'd have been used as big, black skating-rinks for the household mice!
Yes, folks, he was a popular heart-throb back then, and if you do decide to invest some time and money in finding out why, I can't think of a better way than by grabbing yourself a copy of 'Salam's Lot', which ran as a mini-series on TV, and contains one of the most frightening horror scenes ever, as voted for by fans from literally decades, 5 I think, of scares! It expresses brilliantly an encounter between a couple of boys - friends - in an eerie night-time blood-lust scene! See it - it's as great today as ever it was!
David gets 5ft11.5 for his height now and three-quarters- of-an-inch more for his tallest height.

You guys are wrong about Glaser being 5-11. He was never more than 5'9" in his life. He may seem shorter to you now because you see him on stage or in the public. Soul was listed as being 5'11" during the Starsky and Hutch years, but he did have a slight slouch. He may well have been a little over 6"0." Huggy Bear looked like he was about 6'0."

In the Pilot for Starsky & Hutch, there's the steam room scene - both David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser are in flip-flops and towels, making it easy to compare height. They are very close - but Soul has much longer legs, a shorter torso, and a leaner build than Glaser, making his added 1.5-2 inches seem greater. Also the difference in character personalities contributes: Starsky the "ball of energy" and Hutch the "reserved Scandinavian." Soul at 6'1" and Glaser at 5'11" (in the 70's) should be about correct. Antonio Fargas - Huggy Bear - is hard to judge with his "hip" gait and posture. Any ideas for him?

Soul was indeed tall enough to be at least 6'1" during "Here Come the Brides" he was as tall as Robert Brown who was about 6'2/6'3 ... Keep in mind while filming S& H he hurt his back while landing on the car roof during the pilot and had a couple of back surgeries. Which would account for the slouch. Most everyone loses height, in their 50's and 60's .. now DS is over 70years old. Most definately height loss is expected.

I used to think he was shorter than what he claimed, but after watching the first two seasons of STARSKY & HUTCH, I'm confident he was telling the truth. If you watch Soul in MAGNUM FORCE, note that his character always stands and walks with ramrod straight posture--no doubt his approach to playing a homicidal totalitarian part. Compare that to Soul's Det. Ken Hutchinson: Hutch is a tough but kindhearted character, and Soul tends towards loose--almost sloppy--posture when he plays Hutch, but if you watch carefully when he does stand with good posture, there's no doubt he was above average in height.
As a young man in his early 30s (1973 - 1975), Soul was definitely 6'1". One of the best places to judge is in MAGNUM FORCE: pay attention to the scene in which Eastwood and Soul escort the fallen Charlie McCoy's family to the airport tarmac. Both men stand side-by-side in suits with good posture, presumable similar footwear (dress shoes), and Ray Ban shades. Eastwood has 2.5" - 3" on Soul, and I believe Eastwood to have been 6'4" in his peak--he was this height in 1973 as he compares that way to other 6'4" actors. Also, the scene at the indoor pistol range is another good place: Soul stands side-by-side with a bevy of tall actors including Tim Matheson, Robert Urich, and Kip Niven. Eastwood is noticeably taller than both Matheson and Urich--both of whom I believe to have been about 6'2" at peak. In one still, Kip Niven stands side-by-side with Robert Urich, and he is only a hair (hair = less than 1") shorter than Urich, placing him at about 6'1". Keep in mind during this scene: all four actors portraying the vigilante force are wearing knee-high motorcycle boots with about a 1" heel while Eastwood is pounding the pavement with a pair of nondescript, flat-soled sneakers. Despite the footwear advantage, Eastwood is still taller than the rest of the group. Having said that, I think that Soul's peak height is trickier than most to figure because he's notorious for loose posture/slouching in STARSKY & HUTCH, his most well-known work. At peak, I believe Soul was exactly as he claimed: 6'1". Now in his seventies, he's definitely lost height. I'd say strong 5'10"/weak 5'11" today.

6'1'' in younger days I think is probably accurate. Now older and slouching obviously looks shorter at least in that photo. I remember watching a nostalgia show in which someone said that stars don't always look so impressive in real life as on TV but he said David was an exception to this. When he came to Britain to sing in the 70s he did look the part in real life. Tall and handsome.

Clearly slouching here. Looks like he'd masure 5'10.5"-5'11" stood fully straight, compare Jenny's head level with his. I think he's lost 1-1.5, peak 6'0.5" seems right. He was 3-4 inches shorter than Clint Eastwood who was a legit 6'4".

Perhaps he was never over 6"0 to begin with, Rob?

If he stands at attention he'd be right under 6'. 6' 1/2" on "Here Come The Brides" peak. Bad posture...like Clooney: loose. I always thought Glaser was a small guy, he really wasn't.

Looks more like 5'10.25, Rob, if you're 5'8.25. I didn't even recognize him. Well, we know he's shrunk for sure, but I know this guy was only 6'0.

For peak, I think 6' 1/2" is spot on for him--I don't think he was quite 6'1" but I don't think he was a flat six-foot, either. Watching MAGNUM FORCE several nights ago, he looks 3" shorter than Clint Eastwood, and his 6'2" co-stars Tim Matheson & Robert Urich have him by over an inch--a noticeable difference several times over the course of the film. He must have always had a loose posture--he always had it in STARSKY & HUTCH.

David Soul was 6'1" during Hutch heyday, and Paul Michael Glaser was 5'11". Clint Eastwood looks taller than Soul in Magnum Force because he IS taller at 6'4". Michael Gross looks taller than David Soul in The FBI Murders because Gross is (was) also 6'4".

Clint Eastwood appeared a good 2-3 inches taller than him in Magnum Force. I believe Soul really was 6'1" during that movie.

David Soul was 6-1 when I met him in 1985. I knew his father in New York (Richard Solberg), and his brother Dan from one of my "previous" careers.

Maybe he borrowed Carmen Miranda's or Mae West's platforms.

The very same! I'd forgotten that he was shorter than Stewart in "The Man Who Knew Too Much."
Well, there must've been stilts under that vampire garb. He did say that the makeup and contact lenses were uncomfortable, but failed to mention the 12" platform shoes (it was the 70s, afterall).

This Reggie Nalder?: Click Here
The same scarred faced actor who played the assassin in the remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much who tries to shoot the big shot of some mythical country while attending a concert in Albert Hall? That Reggie? Well, he was a lot shorter than 6'3" Jimmy Stewart in that film. In fact, during the scene where he's instructed on at what precise time to fire the fatal shot by listening to the phonograph record, he's shorter than British character actor Bernard Miles who was just about six feet tall. So if Reggie towered over Soul he either wore huge lifts or Soul was shorter than I thought.

How tall was the Austrian actor Reggie Nalder? He towered over Soul in "Salem's Lot."

I have a strong feeling that David was never more than 5'11". Paul is 5'10". I met him at some AIDS function and he was shorter than me by at least an inch.

I know he shrunk a bit after severe back problems and back surgery. He was in several skiing accidents and stunt mishaps. His co-star, Paul Glaser, who was always an inch or two shorter was the same height when they were in Europe about two years ago. We saw them from quite a distance when they were posing with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson and that cool Ford Torino in London. The original Huggy Bear was there too. We didn't know it was them until somebody told us (we were drawn there by the sight of the car!). Anyway, my buddy and I were amazed to see that Glaser was more than a few inches taller than both Stiller and Wilson, because he always looked so short on the series. Does anyone know the height for Soul's TV cop partner Paul Glaser?

Editor Rob paul reiser's brother? I always get those guys mixed up...I actually thought Glaser might have lost a cm himself...hmm, I'll add him to the site just now...

I think this is spot on. When they show old clips it's surprising how tall he looks as I never remembered him as a tall guy. He was on Little Britain in a cameo and appeared to be between 1-2 inches shorter than David Walliams who is 6'2''.
