Kerwin Mathews, at an exact 6ft 1 (185.4 cm), embodied the towering heroism essential to his iconic fantasy roles. His commanding height lent perfect physical presence to the swashbuckling Sinbad in The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958), where he dueled colossal cyclops and dragons. This stature amplified his Gulliver in The Three Worlds of Gulliver (1960), navigating giant worlds, and defined his giant-slaying Jack in Jack the Giant Killer (1962), making him the ideal stature for battling oversized foes.
