Bruce Gray, towering at an exact 6ft 1 (185.4 cm), brought a commanding physical presence to his five-decade acting career as a Canadian performer born in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
His impressive height enhanced his portrayals of authoritative figures, notably as President Arthur Manchester in Falling Skies, General Owen in Starship Troopers, and in series like Traders, while his stature added memorable depth to roles in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Gray's tall frame solidified his image as a versatile character actor in film and TV until his passing in 2017.
