What is John Amos' Height?

John Amos, at an authoritative 5ft 10 ¾ (179.7 cm), commands a powerful screen presence that defined his career as a formidable patriarch and leader in television and film.

His towering stature amplified the resilience of James Evans Sr. on Good Times, the epic strength of adult Kunta Kinte in Roots—earning an Emmy nomination—and the authoritative Admiral Percy Fitzwallace on The West Wing. Roles in Die Hard 2, Coming to America, and Lock Up further highlighted how his height contributed to his image as a rugged, imposing figure in action and drama.
