Rob, I don't see how this guy would be 6'3.75" as you've downgraded Sterling Hayden to 6'4" as there was probably a good inch between them in The Killing. Of course, I think Hayden was not as low as 6'4" despite claiming it.

Editor RobMaybe carey could be nearer 6ft 3, it's been a while since I seen anything with him in it.

He'd have made a good Joe Cabot. Even when he was older he looked like a Class A whackjob and his height definitely would have helped

Steve you are spot on. But when Carey worked with a strong director like Stanley Kubrick then he could be very memorable in a good way. I'm not sure if Kubrick sat on him, but Marlon Brando allegedly stabbed him with a pen off camera while directing him in "One Eyed Jacks".

Carey had to be sat on, otherwise he'd overact to the point it became ridiculous. He's absolutely dreadful in Crime Wave. He snarls, clenches his teeth and ends up spoiling every scene he's in. He makes colossal ham Joseph Wiseman appear like a method actor.
Carey looked at least 6'3" and could have been taller.

Yeah, Tarantino passed on Carey because he thought he was unstable, but it turned out Lawrence Tierney was probably an even more unreliable investment. Tierney and Chris Penn really pulled off the father-son crime dynasty and looked related, Carey would have needed a different actor as his son!

I think you could argue 3-4 cm shorter than Hayden from that scene.

He was also in East of Eden. Very intimidating character, this listing seems about right.

I stood a few feet away from him at a film festival about four decades ago, and I'd say this height is correct. And he was just as memorable in person as he was on screen. A truly fearless actor who left us some unforgettable performances.

The difference between Carey and Hayden is about the same as Rock Hudson and John Wayne in The Undefeated.

Thanks Rob, the photo isn't showing though. Spot on I think, agreed Sam? Looked about 4cm shorter than Sterling Hayden in that ranch scene in The Killing and you got a good look at them too. That's the only still I can find Click Here Not quite 6'4".

Yes! Was this from me suggesting him ages ago? I'd say he had a pretty good bid to be the most unsettling thing to pop onto screens in the 1950s. Good listing too, I think he looks very near the 6'4" mark. A bit over an inch under Sterling Hayden in The Killing is believable.

Editor Rob well Arch reminded me of him and I think he was a good actor worth an entry.
