Victor Jory, precisely 6ft ⅛ in (183.2 cm) tall, was a Canadian-American actor whose commanding height and compactly husky build defined his imposing screen presence, particularly in villainous roles.
Standing just over six feet and weighing around 175 pounds, his stature amplified the menace of characters like Jonas Wilkerson in Gone With the Wind, the sinister Injun Joe in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the brutal prison guard in Papillon, and Captain Keller in The Miracle Worker.
His height-enhanced physicality shone across stage, film, and television, while he later endowed the enduring Victor Jory Scholarship for drama students.
