Alex Karras stood at an exact 6ft 0 (182.9 cm), a height that complemented his powerful build as a dominant defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions in the NFL during the 1950s and 1960s.
In his slimmer days at 200 lbs and 6ft 0, he embodied the ideal physique for his gridiron prowess. Transitioning to acting, his commanding 6ft 0 frame enhanced roles like the lovable George Papadapolis in TV's Webster, and memorable appearances in Blazing Saddles, Victor Victoria, and Against All Odds.
