I just watched his movie, Fair Game, with Cindy Crawford, and William Baldwin looked the same height as 6'3'' Christopher McDonald, if not a slightly taller. I don't think that William Baldwin is shorter than 6'3.''

His height looks equal to that of Ben Affleck about 189 cm, he might be claiming himself at 188 cm but actually he’s got a bit more to it

He definitely still looks around 6ft2 today. I reckon 188-189cm zone in the 90's and nowadays at worst he might measure somewhere between 187-188cm
For the moment, I wouldn't mess with this listing

Usually looks 6 ft was no bigger than an aging scot glen all of them wore big boots.
He may loose a bit to posture but 6 3 is insane he never looked that even with lil kiefer.
Modine had over an inch on him his own height is debatable, a senior don southerland is still an inch taller.
Bottom line sure he is the tallest and probably best looking of the bros at 6 1 peak.

He still has a few inches on Alec in recent photos. 188cm is fair but maybe was 189cm in his 20's-30's, Rob?
He may not have lost anything. He's in good shape for his age…

Jon the bus man also claims his height is the same as that guy.But I say he's 6'1 in April 3 2016.Due to some reports they say he is sometimes 6'3 due to 2 inch shoes,but on Monday April 11,when they were talking,they said he isn't even 6'1,he's at least 6'0 in the morning and 5'11 in the night due to the color of his facial hair.
But Rob are you sure about him and Jon,cause usually he's 6'1 while Jon is 6'0.

He didnt look that tall in backdradt. He didnt look much taller than 5'9 Deniro and Kurt Russel. He only looked like 2-3 inches taller. I know hes a legit 6'2 just trying to understand how he looked so close in height to 5'9 guys in that movie.

Looks 6'2", not more. Look at the positioning of the two (Baldwin in front) and eye levels (Glenn's hair gets lost a little in the dark background) this guy is not as massive as people might/do think. Bigger than most, granted, but this is what 6'2" looks next to 5'8".

sometimes Baldwin can look short because he's head is huge and his body very robust but the reality is that he's not below 187cm so 188cm is real accurate. ;)

William was a lot slimmer a decade ago, he is really starting to look very similar to Alec these days. Anyone remember that crappy movie he did with Cindy Crawford or that Slither movie with Sharon Stone during the early 90's, William was really slim and good looking guy but now he looks a lot heavier.

I ran into him walking around a part of town popular with celebrities for shopping and he was exactly same height as me. I looked him eye to eye in my encounter and I'm 6'1" on the dot (185 cm and change), I was in running shoes and he was in loafers. Exactly 6'1", but I've met his brother Daniel as well and he was a bit taller...definately 6'2".
