Kevin Conway, an American actor standing exactly 5ft 6 (167.6 cm) tall, brought a unique perspective to roles where physical stature played a key part in his image. His height became central to his memorable portrayal of the Klingon Kahless in Star Trek: The Next Generation, where he openly noted to producers, 'I'm only five-six,' contrasting the typical giant Klingons over six-foot-five. Special boots added five and a half inches, transforming him into a six-footer, though mastering the 'stilts' took a full day.
Throughout his career, Conway's compact 5ft 6 frame fueled his intense, authoritative screen presence in highlights like Gettysburg, Paradise Road, and voicing characters, proving height was no barrier to his commanding performances.
