Average Guess (18 Votes)6ft 1.53in (186.8cm) Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Nov/25I’m thinking solid 6ft2 more than weak actually……stacked up well beside much taller men Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Oct/25Yeah beside Selleck he didn’t appear much shorter….. Canson said on 11/Sep/25@Viper: maybe more evidence selleck was his claim vs full 6’4 but 6’2 for him is likelier than not but he’s like Brett Favre a flat 6’2 evening viper said on 9/Sep/25The average guess is crazy. 6-2 minimum He was on Magnum PI and looked at least 6-2 with Selleck viper said on 22/Jun/25In Duel he can give off a 6-2.5 impression Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Jun/25Viper, if that source could be found it’d be interesting….. I think Weaver looked a genuine 6ft2 throughout his career….. viper said on 2/Jun/25I'm pretty sure I once saw him listed at 6-2.5 I think..now that I remember avi said on 1/Jun/25@Rob What do you think is the absolute lowest Weaver was? A). 6'1.5? B). 6'1.75? C). 6'1.25? Watching gunsmoke he can seem smack dab in middle of 6'1-6'2 But sometimes seems a decent 6'2Editor RobA would be lowest I'd attempt to argue, but overall confident he may have been nearer 6ft 2 than 1. QM6'1.75"QM said on 14/Apr/23187-188cms in "Duel", one of my favourite movie. Ian C. said on 30/Dec/21As so many other posters have already noted, James Arness made Weaver look short. What this shows, by way of its inherent paradox, is what an appealing actor Arness was, because he had to overcome the handicap of his enormous size. A man who could make a six foot two inch man seem short would have been automatically excluded from any production with an average sized leading man. Arness' other notable role was as the alien vegetable monster in The Thing From Another World. So, monster to heroic leading man. That's quite a range, with nothing in between. Back to Weaver, who was in no way average in any way. He made a credible try for the U.S. Olympic team in the decathlon when he was 24, and in World War II he was a Navy fighter pilot, flying an F4U from the deck of an aircraft carrier. He stayed married to the same woman his entire life, which has to count as an extraordinary feat in a successful film actor. He was a hero in real life, as was Arness, who was a combat infantryman in WW II. berta said on 17/Nov/21impossible that there was only 4 inches beetween him and arness. I think 199,5 vs 187,5 cm. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Nov/21Average guess is too low 188-189cm peak, 187cm in later career Hong said on 24/Feb/21Click Here In this pic Arness doesn't look as tall next to Dennis as he usual does. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 10/Sep/19Viper, that’s because Arness was likely a bit more than 6ft6 I think Weaver could look 189cm at times viper said on 9/Sep/19He physically looked 6-2 minimum that's for sure. Arness could look taller than 6-6 at times berta said on 27/Sep/17he looked short next to james arness. was he this tall. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Sep/17Strong 6ft2 peak Richardspain said on 13/Jul/17188cm when he was young 187cm in Duel 184/185cm when he was older. Sandy Cowell said on 11/Feb/17I've just seen the Spielberg debut film 'Duel' and though I didn't think I'd pick up on the poor terrorized guy's height, I certainly could see that he was very tall and sturdy! I'll have to agree with the 6ft2 then! Gonzalo said on 2/Jan/17He looked tall in Touch of evil next to Charlton Heston. He could have been a smidge over 6`2 when he was young Chase Witherspoon said on 5/Nov/16Surprising, I always thought he was 6'3" but then he was wearing cowboy boots & a ten gallon hat (McCloud).. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 28/Aug/16Well Arness was 6ft7! Dorothy Bridgeman said on 14/Jul/16Weaver LOOKS very SMALL next to Arness WHY Jake: 1.84 m- 1.85 m said on 8/Sep/14Looked at least 6ft 2in in 'Duel'. avi said on 10/Feb/14@Rob Thanks Rob! avi said on 7/Feb/14@Rob Can you also add "Gunsmoke" as his notable roles because this is what started his career. He spent almost a decade on the show.Thanks Editor Rob yes I'll mention that avi said on 11/Jan/14@Rob Can you also add "Gunsmoke" as his notable roles because this is what started his career. Thanks Bruno said on 20/Jul/13Weaver looked slightly taller than 6'3'' Brian Dennehy in Pearl. I think Dennehy's height is exaggerated and Weaver in his prime was a full 6'2''. Dan said on 17/May/13NO WAY was Weaver even 6'2". Arness has at LEAST 5-and-a-half inches, probably 6, on him in Gunsmoke, and Arness was a most 6'7", probably a bit shy of that. On top of that, in a film he did with Chuck Connors, who was 6'5" tall, Weaver was absolutely dwarfed by Connors by a good 4 inches. Also, William Hopper, who was listed as 6'3" appeared in a Gunsmoke episode and looked only around 2 to 2-and-a-half inches shorter than Arness. There was no way Hopper was just an inch closer to Arness' height than was Weaver. dbuis said on 19/Nov/12Keep in mind when you compare Dennis Weaver to James Arness, you are talking about a 6 foot 7 inch man in Arness according to records. So Weaver would look fairly short standing beside Arness. avi said on 29/Jul/12yes Rob he isnt over 6'2 because it wouldnt make sense. Even next to the Doc on Gunsmoke (Milburn Stone who was small probably 5'6 ) he has 7 inches tops. Arness had about 5 inches on him maybe 6 because of the limp they made Weaver . Mr. Kaplan said on 3/Jun/11He couldn't be that tall. James Arness had six inches on him. Brad said on 10/Apr/11As listed, we'd joke at shows when the snow would stop so we could drive back through Colorado. Shadow2 said on 24/Feb/11The Mad Trucker in "Duel" was apparently veteran Hollywood stunt man Carey Loftin. Steven Spielberg (in a recent documentary) said he (Spielberg) even drove the "Peterbuilt" tanker truck a few times while making the movie. For the lead role in this, Dennis Weaver's 6'2" height was irrelevant to the character he played. pjt said on 22/Feb/11They never showed the Mad Trucker in Duel. jake said on 29/Dec/106" 2.75 peak and still around 6' 2" when he died I think. Chaco said on 14/May/09I visited with Dennis Weaver for a moment on the Wildfire set. Allowing for his height in boots, and my height in boots as well, I estimate that he was about 6'2" barefooted. Ryan said on 23/Sep/08Standing next to 6'7" James Arness on Gunsmoke he was at least 5 inches shorter. This would make him approximately a shade under 6'2". Viper said on 12/Jun/07He looked 6-2 in the Duel. Ive seen him listed as a flat 6-2 before. I never thought he was over it that Rob has him at. Bleemo said on 11/Jun/07Mostly I'd agree except for this weird pic of him as a younger man stood next to 6'7" James arness looking like a six footer. Now I deffo think this guy is atleast 6'1.5 but it just shows you that even very tall men like Weaver can look small. Click Here MyKat said on 21/Sep/06I'm 5' 11" and in his boots he stood over 6' 4". In tennies, he was closer to 6' 2". Rut said on 1/May/06I have him at 190cm in a book, so that would be right I guess...
