Robert Culp, at an exact 6ft 1 (185.4 cm), embodied a commanding physical presence that amplified his authoritative screen image in television and film.
Best remembered for starring in I Spy with Bill Cosby and The Greatest American Hero, as well as films like Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, Hickey & Boggs, and Hannie Caulder, Culp's height lent him a stature that he playfully described as making him a "pygmy" next to even taller actors like Jim Arness and Clint Eastwood, while noting that "size gives a guy authority."
His towering 6ft 1 frame enhanced his roles as charismatic leads and action heroes throughout his career.
