Richard Chaves, at exactly 5ft 10 (177.8 cm), leveraged his commanding stature to embody tough, authoritative characters throughout his career.
His height perfectly suited the role of the battle-hardened soldier Poncho in Predator (1987), where he stood tall among elite commandos, amplifying his rugged screen presence.
As Colonel Paul Ironhorse in the 1980s TV series War of the Worlds, Chaves' 5ft 10 frame projected unyielding military leadership against alien invaders.
