I have come around to the 5'9.25" argument at peak. Dooley looked as though he cleared 5'9" often more times than not. 5'9.5" peak is also possible. He has always been a more 5'9" than 5'10" guy, but never under 5'9" from the 50s to 80s. Also, after re-watching his scene in Death Wish with Vincent Gardenia, there seemed to be more like 3cm between them, so I suppose 5'8" peak for Gardenia is arguable.

Hi Rob. Do you think that the maximum height we get when sleeping is reached at 9 hours? I slept eight tonight and I think I give the same as my normal out of bed. A greeting for you

His film ‘Insomnia’ is well worth a watch folks! No doubt so are Paul’s other films, but the aforementioned movie is right up my street

5ft9.5. His lady companion seems to be rather small, giving us the impression that Paul is above average.

he actually still looked taller than Dennis Chrisopher at 92! hard to believe Chrisopher is listed 5'11 in nearly every site. i sure hope he doesn't actually claim that height because he might actually be closer to 5'7.

Dooley has kept his height exceptionally well over the years, but he has equally lived an exceptionally long time. Whilst voice recording for Cars 2, he still passed for 5’9” range (in his 80s!) with 5’7” John Lasseter (if John really is 5’7”). Over 5’9” peak is therefore a real possibility, although I see someone has guessed 5’8.75” peak for Dooley (very lowest I’d go)! I wonder how many years Dooley has got left, this 95 year old could easily see 100 at this rate, as he shows no signs of slowing down and remains active on Cameo.

how tall is dennis christopher? dooley didn't look taller than christopher in breaking away. i actually though he was shorter but it was difficult to tell. i suspect christopher isn't over 5'9 himself.

Rob, how tall does Dooley look in your above provided photo?

Gerald S said on 10/May/23
A rock solid 5’9” at peak, potentially peaked in the 5’9”-5’9.25” bracket.

Rob, how tall do you think Dooley could be today?

Bear in mind he is currently ninety-five years old, but seemingly in great health for a man his age.

Rob, below is the episode link. Please see around 4:45 and 20:00, where Dooley is pretty much equal in height with Barbara Feldon and Don Adams.

Rob, could we compromise on 5'9.25"?

Please see Dooley with Barbara Feldon: Click Here

Dooley looked a classic five niner to me; 5'9.25" peak I could be convinced of, but I cannot quite see 5'9.5".

Rob, could you also please add Slap Shot to Dooley’s credits?

Rob, could you please squeeze in Insomnia, Death Wish and Runaway Bride to Dooley’s credits?

Wow! Thank you so much Rob. This has really made my day. I still think this is half an inch too generous. Granted Dooley could look 5’9.25” in Sixteen Candles and Breaking Away but was looking 5’8.75” at times on a Get Smart episode. 5’9.25” would be on my upper scale for him.
