Standing tall at 6ft 3 (190.5 cm), English actor Tom Baker's imposing height has been a defining part of his image since childhood, when he was already 5ft 9 at age eight, making him a 'giant' among peers.
Best known for portraying the Fourth Doctor in Doctor Who from 1974 to 1981, Baker's towering stature amplified the character's bohemian, larger-than-life presence, complete with his iconic extra-long scarf that seemed to match his height. He has quipped that his 6ft 3 frame is as inescapable as his greying hair or his fame from the role—one job fans remember forever.
- Starred in fantasy film The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973), where his height suited the heroic adventurer.
- Returned for Doctor Who inserts in the 1992 Shada video release and hosted The Tom Baker Years.
Baker's height has always made him 'obvious' in crowds, enhancing his memorable screen persona across seven seasons as the Doctor.
