Abe Vigoda, precisely 6ft 0 (182.9 cm) tall, brought a commanding stature to his iconic roles as an American actor. His exact 6-foot frame enhanced the authoritative presence of Salvatore Tessio in The Godfather, where his height added gravitas to the mobster's subtle menace. Similarly, as Detective Sgt. Phil Fish in Barney Miller and its spin-off Fish, Vigoda's towering 182.9 cm build contrasted charmingly with his character's weary wisdom, making him unforgettable. On his resume, he proudly listed himself at “Height......6 feet” and “Weight.....180”, perfectly capturing his solid, imposing image throughout his career.
