he looks barely 5'11 with rob but he still looked taller than ryan gosling at the nice guys premiere so maybe 5'11.5 now and 6'0-6'0.5 peak.

Watching They Live, I at first thought he was 6ft 5 (196cm), or at least 6ft 4 (193cm)! David did look a few inches taller in some scenes, but I guess it was camera angle advantage. His legs were huge compared to Roddy Piper's, and yet they were similar in height. David must have a 36 inseam at 6ft 1 (185cm), I think, the legs of a 6ft 6 (198cm) man.

How incredibly annoying to see someone as eminent in the acting world as Keith David appearing at the beginning of a film - The Seventh Day - and immediately killed off! I was so excited to see him, as I hadn’t any idea that he’d be in it, and then he was suddenly no more. Keith played Father Louis, an exorcist, and the demon he was dealing with killed him in the terribly dangerous section of working for the Church.
Keith gets 6ft1 for his peak and 6ft for today’s height. Great actor! 😁👍🏼

Ran into Keith at a Subway. He was with his daughter, I think. He looked 6'1" to 6'2" and that is being conservative. I'm barely 5'11". He was in standard sneakers. This was at least 10 years ago.

Google still lists him at 6'2" which is clearly not the case judging by the above photo. If he's standing next to a 5'8" Rob, I'd have him at around 5'11" in that photo - it doesn't look like more than a 3" height difference if 5'8" comes right up to his eyebrows. By comparison, I'm a hair under 6'2" barefoot and 5'10" is roughly my eye level - 5'11" (a 3" difference, roughly) comes up to my eyebrows. I'd therefor say proportions being assumed to be roughly similar, Keith David based on THIS photo cannot even be a full 6'0". 5'11" flat, 6'0" if he has a good pair of shoes on. Looks to be roughly a 4" height difference between him and Joel on Community (who looks a lot closer to 6'3" to 6'3.5" than 6'4") so 5'11" would seem about right, maybe could have pulled off 6'0.5" in his prime which CAN look like 6'1" in the right shoes. Don't think he was ever a legitimate 6'1" though, prime or not.

Keith David must have lost more height earlier. In 2005 ATL still manage to pull off 6'1 but a few years later in 2007 Delta Farce start to look 6'0.25" and then 6'0 or maybe 5'11 3/4 now.

he cant really have been 186,5 pek he looks at best 183 now and could be closer to 182 that is about 4 cm to loose at a age where some guys havent lost anything. i think the listing is fine but piper cant have been taller than 184 during the shooting of the movie.On the other hand piper was like 176 cm when he died so there is a big chanse he had lost half inch already in 1988-89

I agree, he looks 180 cm here. But I guess he looked taller in person, that's why Rob gave him solid 6ft.

David appearing a weak six feet in recent years doesn't surprise me, as I've posted in the past I thought he was always overlisted back when he was 6'2" on here. He was possibly never more than a weak 6'1" guy who carried himself well.

Back in the 80s David did look quite tall over 6ft often with smaller stars.
By the 90s id say he was no more than 6 and by 2000 maybe in shoes.
Pretty good support actor, excellent voice actor and a hollywood staple for sure.

Yeah, 182 range is believable (be it 5'11.5 or 5'11.75) but definitely not a big 6', at least today. That's the range he looked in that POI episode I've seen last year. From what I remember, he looked comfortably shorter than Jim... Over an inch and possibly something like 1.25-1.5 inches, I think. Which is the main reason why I came here to comment, after seeing he was listed at a very optimistic 6'1!
6'1-6'1.25 for Jim and 5'11.5-6' for Keith certainly looks more sensible... 😉
Although he doesn't look much over 180 with you (stop wearing lifts, Rob!). Again, can you add the height chart?

There is a chance of 182 range, Alex can look a tall 6ft, but in person I think Keith really has shrunk since his 40's.

It is true that he can look similar to Ryan in photos but again Ryan could be 182-183...
As i said, i'm not ruling out that he might still measure near 6' (maybe if standing tall for a measurement)... That's really the most he could be, though! I showed you some pictures where he undeniably can look no more than 5'11.5! Again, look at him with 5'10 listed David Lyons: Click Here
5'11.5-6' anywhere in that range is possible, IMO!

There's certainly a noticeable difference between him and Keith, next to Joel! A 6'0.5 guy certainly wouldn't look that much shorter next to Joel, who can certainly look not much over 6'3 a lot of times...
Editor Rob
I'm not trying to argue he's 6' flat today, i'm arguing he's under it! :)
Look at the same Joel with this guy, Malcolm Smith, who is basically a decent 6' (he was measured at 6'0.2): Click Here

Editor Rob I could see him about 6ft, that is arguable, 5ft 11.5 I don't know if he really looks that short.
Andrea said on 26/May/16
6'0.5 is a huge benefit of doubt... I doubt he looks any less than 4 inches shorter than Joel (and Joel is 6'3.5 AT BEST)...
But whatever... This is not gonna be another Bob Gunton guy ;)
I just wanted to point out that he does look noticeably shorter than his listing...

Editor Rob In Keith's case looking at his upper body he looks shorter now than in the past, whether he is a flat 6ft today I don't know....

Rob, are you sure on this guy???
Look at him with 6'3.5 max Joel Mchale: Click Here Click Here
He does look minimum 4 inches shorter i'd say...
I've just seen this guy in a POI episode and i was surprised to see you had him at 6'1! He did look comfortably shorter than Jim Caviziel, maybe 5'11.5 but certainly not anywhere near 6'1!
Now, this guy is "only" 59 so unless he did loose 2 big inches from his peak it's quite improbable he's ever been 6'1.5... I don't know about his peak, but it seems some visitors here think he was 6'1 max which would make his "actual height" more reasonable... Maybe he was 6'1 peak and 5'11.5 now? Which is still a huge loss, considering he's only approaching to his 60s...

Editor Rob he could be 6ft - 6ft 0.5 today, he seems older than his age, but maybe since he's been around 30+ years.

Surely because of being 60,he is at least 6'0 at bed and 6'1 when he wakes up.

That's correct,
Roddy went through many operations on his back! Not to mention all the natural wear and tear his body has taken from wrestling and age. He was easily a 6'0-6'1 man in They Live

Arguably the tallest guy in Platoon, even edged out Forest Whitaker. Strong 6ft2 peak.
Today he does look 186-187cm

I think he was more 6'1.5" at peak, now about a half to full inch under IMO now. Rob, could you take another look? He just doesn't convince as a full 6'2" guy even in the 80s.

He's still an active actor, so a current height listing is probably worthwhile.

If Geoff Stults is really 6'2.5" (I think he looks more solid 6'3") than Keith David must be less than his peak these days. He looks more of a six footer than even 6'1". The guys who play the other two brothers to Stults in Enlisted (I've gathered from previews, haven't watched it myself), who I guess are around six feet themselves, just seem to edge David out as well.

He sure doesn't look 6'2". Check out They Live... he's about the same height as Roddy Piper, who claims to be 6'0" elsewhere.
David just doesn't look 6'2", more a 'sorta tall' guy who's buff rather than a true tall guy.

i've seen recent films with this guy and he seems tall like 6'1" topps but truly tall, but in that jamaican steven seagal movie he looked 5'10.75" topps, either he started weraring impressive lifts or he has literally grown, he was not really tall in that movie, i can be sure 5'11" tops, so that is how tall he is.

Another of the great character actors. He makes anything he's in worth watching--and usually, he is involved in projects that are good to begin with. Strong presence.
Saw him recently in CLOCKERS. He towers over 5'7" Harvey Keitel--6'2" is spot on for him. Also, I recently saw him in a 2001 film titled SEDUCED: PRETTY WHEN YOU CRY with 6'2" Sam Elliott. He looked to be the sam height as Sam: 6'2".
