Standing at an imposing 6ft 0 (182.9 cm), Joss Ackland brought a commanding physical presence to over 130 film and television roles throughout his distinguished career. His exact height enhanced his portrayals of authoritative and formidable characters, such as the villainous Arjen Rudd in Lethal Weapon 2 and bombastic coach in The Mighty Ducks. Ackland, who confirmed his 6ft 0 stature himself at age 81, was awarded the CBE for his contributions to drama.
