Cy Grant, towering at an imposing 6ft 2½ (189.2 cm), was a Guyana-British actor, singer, and calypsonian whose exceptional height lent a commanding physical presence to his memorable roles. His tall stature amplified the heroic intensity in films like At the Earth's Core and Shaft in Africa, while perfectly suiting the authoritative timbre he brought to voicing Lieutenant Green in Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Grant's height contributed to his charismatic image across TV appearances and music, with acclaimed albums including Cy Grant Sings (Donegall Records) and tributes like 'Cy Grant Day' at the BFI.
