Rob, is the full 6ft2 peak possible?

Editor RobI'm not so convinced on it, but of course there is a chance of it. Maybe earlier films when guys are in late 20's or early 30's can be revealing about heights.

He still looked close to this on Deadwood, bare minimum 6ft1. Leads me to believe he may once have been very close to 6ft2. Looked every bit of 188cm in Rapid Fire w/h Brandon Lee (rock solid 182cm)

Editor RobI'm not sure Powers looked as short as 182cm, even in his early 60's he still seemed over 6ft flat

Editor Rob I'm still going with about D, from seeing him in the 80's I feel that's the kind of range he pulled off.

keep in mind that Nico nolte was the same height ore 1 cm taller than this guy when nolte was in boots. do the math if nolte had 4 cm higher heels then this guy was at best 187. just found out he was dead. I think he was 186-187

Powers Boothe looked between 6'3" and 6'4" in many of his roles in the 1980s and earlier. He looked at least 6'3" in the original 'Red Dawn' (1984). Of course his co-star Patrick Swayze looked taller than his actual height of 5'10", so he could have made Powers Booth seem taller.

Rob, could he have been 6ft2 peak?
Looked 3in taller than Matthew McConaughey in Frailty and about 2in shorter than Jeffrey Jones in Deadwood.

One of the most underrated character actors of all-time. He's another one who can steal an entire film or television episode with only a handful of scenes. When he was younger, he probably hit 6'2"--he looked to have about 1"-1.5" inches on 6' Nick Nolte in EXTREME PREJUDICE. More recently, in HBO's DEADWOOD, he looked to be roughly the same height as 6'1"-6'2" Gerald McRaney (I cite both for McRaney as I've seen him listed at both figures, and he looks to be in this neighborhood the same as Boothe).

He's slouching there. I'd say 6ft1.5 if he stood properly.

There is 5 1/2 inches from the top of Boothe's head to his eyebrows (which is level with the top of Glenn's head)? For an average-sized head (which is what Boothe appears to have) that distance is four inches. But, then again, Boothe has a receding hairline, so maybe it is 5 inches.

Boothe is not 6ft.He is taller than gerard butler who is 185cm so 187 makes sense

don't look at his eyes, look the top of his head u will notice he looks in the 6'1 range in that picture hence barefoot he 6'0, when u say "IN MOVIES HE LOOK 6'3" keep in mind in movies they give Lifts and camera tricks can make a 5'7 look 6'0.
he is a great actor and barefoot he is 6'0 flat.

Editor Rob boothe is taller than the bad guy from die hard 4, who himself is taller than bruce willis...so I wouldn't be confident on 6 flat ;)

Sam, we don´t see their stances u know. He always looks big in every film so 6'1-6'2 seems accurate. Cool to see others mention SOUTHERN COMFORT! Yep, that is one fine movie.
