Michael McKean stands at an exact 5ft 9 ¾ (177.2 cm), a height that enhances his versatile on-screen presence in both comedy and drama, allowing him to embody characters with relatable authority and charm.
Best known as Lenny Kosnowski in Laverne & Shirley, his 177.2 cm stature paired perfectly with co-star Penny Marshall, fueling the show's beloved dynamic duo chemistry.
