We have Romero at 190 too which looks accruate, so 189 looks much less likely. There's a scene in Kansas City I think it was with Lee Van Cleef looked a Lee Marvin 6'2.

Arch nailed it. Could have been 6'2"..... but likely not quite... and never over that. I have the DVD series 'The Restless Gun'... and he never towers over anyone... He just looks solid, broad... and about 6'1"+ a tad. He was shorter than Ray Middleton. I have The Road To Denver.... and have watched it many times.

Cesar Romero did look an easy inch taller in The Great American Broadcast though, so again can't really argue over 6 ft 2.

He didn't look under 6 ft 2 generally. In The Great American Broadcast he stood out as particularly tall, could certainly look 189 at times but had on a fair shoe I think.

I think he's a guy who could look from 187cm up to 190cm.

188cm works also. Tall man regardless

An inch shorter than 6'3 Ray Middleton in The Road to Denver, so nothing over 6'2.

Yup, good call on 6'2 flat, he was an easy inch shorter than Randolph Scott (who some claim was 6'2.5 himself) and didn't look as tall as Joe McCrea next to Maureen O'Hara. He did seem to edge Lee Van Cleef though. If you really look at him in films 189 is too high IMO. Scott did look a 6'3 guy, Payne I think actually in having a good looking at him that 6'1.75-6'2 more likely that 6'2.-6'25 range.

Not much between him and Reagan in that photo. He's got the camera advantage also.
You could actually argue 186cm for Reagan there if Payne was 189cm.

You could argue 6'2.5 but if you see him with Reagan Click Here he looks 6'2 flat there.
In fairness I think 185 peak for Reagan is OK.

Thanks, seems the best shout, solid 6'2". I've seen 6 ft 3 for him, but I think just over 6 ft 2 more likely.

This could have been the case...Payne was listed at 6'3"...may be not, but he could look 190 cm at times.
