Matthew Marsden is a 6footer as I guess Sam 'Mr Linda Lusardi' Kane is too!

Bernard Bresslaw was 6'7" .... I couldn't find anything about Guy's height, about 6'2" I reckon.

Michael Rennie was six feet four inches I believe. Guy Rolfe may have looked taller with that turban on his head in 'King of the Khyber Rifles'

This reminds me of the hilarious Bloomsbury sketch in Alan Bennett's play Forty Years On.

"Of all the honours that fell on Virginia Woolf's head, none, I think pleased her more than the Evening Standard Award for the Tallest Woman Writer of 1927. . . and rightly, I think, for she was in a real sense the tallest writer I have ever known. Which is not to say that her stories were tall. They were not. They were short. But she did stand head and shoulders above her contemporaries, and sometimes more so. Dylan Thomas for instance, a man of great literary stature, only came up to her waist. And sometimes not even to there".

Mike Rennie was indeed 6ft 4ins he was a big man had a very powerful presence on screen and off with Mike what you saw was what you got he was pretty much the same off screen a outspoken Yorkshire man but he was a warm friendly man and often got over looked but he was very talented
