Forest Whitaker, at an exact 6ft 2 (188 cm), commands the screen with his towering physical presence, perfectly suiting his intense and authoritative roles in film.
His height amplifies the gravitas of characters like the rebel leader Saw Gerrera in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the tyrannical Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor. Whitaker's imposing stature also enhanced performances in Platoon, Good Morning, Vietnam, Bird, The Crying Game, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, and The Butler.
