Looks 5'11.5" range in the pic, although the camera positioning isn't that good.

I think he may be 6ft flat today at 70. Definitely a good chance he's shipped more than 1in.
Which is why I'm giving him 6ft1½ peak (or alternatively 6ft1⅜)

Rob he have had 184 listing for 10 years now. Dont you Think if he lost 1 cm already at that age then he must have lost 2 more cm now when he is in the height loss age. Eitrher that ore he was never taller than 184 and is 183 now

Might be 6ft flat today but at least 6ft1-1½ peak (2-3in on Benedict/Mr. T and near 2in on Peppard who may not have been quite 6ft by then). Could look 6ft2 at times also

In the pic with Rob, he looks like nothing more than 5-10, and I am accounting for him slouching.

In one episode of TNG his character was afraid of Frakes' towering 6'4" height. In reality, he was not much shorter.

I remember on ST:TNG he really dwarfed the rest of the cast. Maybe Picard, Data, and the others need a downgrade?

Crazy Murdoch doesn't even stand 6 feet there and that's not taking account he's noticeably nearer the camera compared to Rob!

i like this guy, however a guy that was 6'2 in his life would not look this short compared to 5'8. Rob has it right 6'1 peak height

Wow, I almost wouldn't recognize him as Murdock...The weird thing is, I thought he was getting bald in 80's, but seems to have quite some hair nowadays...

Maybe 6ft2 in his prime. He towered over Mr. T and looked a good 2 inches taller than Peppard who may possibly have lost height be the time of the A-team.

Dwight was the tallest of the A team, and I was watching a few episodes and he does look tall in most scenes, he looks to be a solid 6'1 for sure. Great actor very funny guy, he should be in more films.

in one episode on the a team when he is in a phone booth he himself said 6ft tall. but he looks taller then hannibal listed as 6 ft but not much. so 6.1 seems right to me

Bleemo is right. At times he could look 6-2, other times only 6-0.

Wahey howlin mad murdock, yeah I agree he is definately not 6'2 he could scrape this height though due to his horrible posture. I noticed on that Star Trek though that he suddenly had normal posture again.
I've been reading a lot about the A-team recently and in summary George Peppard had a lot of sway with the production team. Including getting rid of the first woman that worked with them because he didn't like her. Anyway Since George was the second tallest maybe he insisted that Dwight Stoop a little so George could still look pretty tall? The reason I say this is because he always stoops down when standing with the A-team, but in other shots just with the supporting cast he could look tall.
Another interesting tidbit I uncovered was that Tim Dunigan the first man to play face was considered too young but also too tall to play Face as he towered over Mr T.
