Harold Gould, precisely 5ft 11 (180.3 cm) tall, was an American character actor whose commanding height enhanced his authoritative screen presence in over 300 TV shows, 20 major films, and 100 stage plays. A five-time Emmy nominee, he shone as Miles Webber on The Golden Girls and Martin Morgenstern on Rhoda, with his stature perfectly suiting romantic leads and distinguished roles in films like The Sting, Silent Movie, Patch Adams, and Freaky Friday. In a notable anecdote, he revealed Katharine Hepburn quizzed his 'just under 6 feet' height, underscoring its importance to her casting choices.
