Standing at an imposing 6ft 4 (193 cm), which he personally confirmed by saying 'I'm 6'4"', American actor Ted Markland leveraged his towering height to embody rugged, authoritative characters throughout his career.
Best known for his role as Reno in the NBC Western series The High Chaparral, Markland's stature added intensity to rancher types, including a part as 'Lem Taylor' in Bat Masterson. His height amplified his presence in films like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Angels from Hell, Another 48 Hrs., and Last Man Standing.
