Eric Schweig, at an exact 6ft 2 (188 cm), is an Indigenous Canadian actor whose commanding height has been central to his on-screen presence in rugged, physical roles.
Best known as Uncas, Chingachgook's son, in The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Schweig's stature was key to landing the part; he noted it matched the height and build of co-star Daniel Day-Lewis, ensuring visual authenticity in action sequences.
His 6ft 2 frame amplified his intensity in films like The Missing and Big Eden, defining his image as a powerful Indigenous leading man.
