Colin Clive, precisely 5ft 11 (180.3 cm) tall, embodied a commanding presence that perfectly suited his iconic portrayal of the driven Dr. Henry Frankenstein in the 1931 horror classic Frankenstein and its 1935 sequel Bride of Frankenstein. His height amplified the character's manic intensity and authoritative stature on screen.
The British actor, born in Saint-Malo, France, leveraged his exact 5ft 11 frame in key roles across stage and film, including Journey's End, Christopher Strong, and Mad Love, enhancing his reputation as a versatile performer in early Hollywood.
