Any chance of giving Karyo a fraction over 5’10” for peak, Rob?
He certainly looked closer to 5’11” than 5’10” in La Femme Nikita among other projects.

Yeah I think strong 5ft 10 suits him in the 80's and 90's

Rob, could Karyo please be added to the Bond Actors tag as Dimitri Mishkin?
Sinclair said on 15/Aug/22
Rob, I believe Karyo would have been a bit over 5’10” at one time.
In Nikita, Karyo towered over Jean-Hugues Anglade. At least Sean Bean height range; 5’10.75” is my ultimate estimate for Karyo. I reckon Karyo would have edged out very worthy add Jean-Claude Brialy, who I have deduced from multiple sources was pretty much 5’10.25”.

Tcheky looked taller than 5ft10 in 'Nostradamus'🔮. I'd have gone for 6ft or just under; after all, Amanda Plummer was/is 5ft4 and looks more than 6" shorter than Tcheky, who plays the doctor and seer.
Ah - my favourite vision of Nostradamus's must be coming up soon. It's when he tells the Queen of France (Amanda) that she will outlive all the children in her care, including Mary, Queen of Scots, who grew up in France. 👑
Peak - 5ft10.75
Now - 5ft9.5

Really only 5 10 peak.. martin lawrence and everybody in bad boys needs a kick.
He always struck me as above average but maybe he just plays with short folk.
I would have said weak 5 11 back in 90s same thing as sean bean taller average.

Oh it's coming back to me. He's the KGB dude who briefly interrogates Brosnan in the cell before *cough* SPOILER *cough*

He was very good in BBC series 'The Missing' filmed last year, playing a French Detective with a limp

Better than that 5'11 listing

I honestly don't remember him in Goldeneye
Editor Rob
I think he looked a bit different with slicked hair and goat beard.

Sexy older man, would have said this height

Good addition. This is the ultimate Euro-trash, untrustworthy guy...even in The Bear (a childhood favorite of mine; is that him sporting a not-bad American accent or dubbed?), as an ultimately decent person, he's still kinda the antagonist. Yeah, within average height range is what I'd guess him at.

He was quite convincing as the Russian KGB head in Goldeneye.
