Standing tall at an imposing 6ft 2 (188 cm), American actor Michael D. Roberts leveraged his commanding height to embody street-smart toughness in iconic TV roles.
- His towering stature perfectly suited the role of 'Rooster,' the shrewd pimp sidekick in the 1970s hit series Baretta, enhancing the character's intimidating edge alongside Robert Blake.
- In the short-lived 1983 series Manimal, Roberts' 6ft 2 frame added physical presence as Tyrone C. Earl across five episodes.
Roberts' height contributed to his memorable portrayals of rugged, larger-than-life characters in television.
