Comfortably taller than Kyle on Twin Peaks so if he was below 6ft1 it couldn't have been more than a fraction.....shame he wasn't in the reboot. Everett McGill came out of retirement after 20+ years.....would've been cool to see Michael return as an older, wiser Sherriff Truman

He does appear to have a good 2in on Harry Hamlin in Making Love (controversial movie about Homosexuality)

I suppose there's a chance that Harry could have been a bit under 5ft11 though

Rob, how likely are those peak?
Editor Rob
yeah those figures aren't unreasonable...michael Horse also is a guy who could look 5ft 11 - 6ft range, he claimed 6ft.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this guy was listed as 185cm! When Kyle and him stood side by side in the series, it became clearer that his hair was a deceptive factor when determining his height. Kyle was 180cm on a good day and this guy was about 182cm or 182.5cm.

I think a solid 6ft1 for him. Taller than Kyle for sure

6' flat, no more. Kyle was 5'11 at his peak. Michael was the same height as Dana Ashbrook.

I'd also add that Ontkean could seem near 1.5 inches over the near six foot Miguel Ferrer as I recall, I wouldn't question a solid 6'1" for him.

He looks like Heath Ledger

If he was 6', that would make Kyle more 5'11...
All these people's heights really depend on how tall Kyle really was, I think! If he really was near 6', I think they're about as tall as listed!
Speaking of Michael, here he is with Sherilyn: Click Here
How much difference you see there?
Editor Rob
when he looked straight ahead he could seem 8 inches taller, plus whatever heel difference there is.

I was gonna ask you to add all the other regular actors from the show and you've just done it! :)
I'd say Michael does look near 6'1, if Kyle was really 6'... He consistently looks right around an inch taller than him on TP!
Editor Rob
I cannot find the article but a few weeks ago I did read him described as only six foot tall...but he definitely seemed taller than that on the show.
