5'10 my arse....

Last time I checked his imdb, he was credited as being 5"7 and that's the most I would give him. He always seems very short in movies especially paul blart mall cop

I would have thought around 5'9. He is a shorter, stockier kind of fellow. he is surprisingly athletic for a heavy guy. This gym scene from King of Queens is legendary.

He claimed 5 feet 9 on an episode of KOQ. Celebheights lists him as 5'8. With his IPS work boots I could see 5'10.

He may be short, but he's a big man. He has reach. "Mankind" was his understudy when he wrestled in high school.

Watch him do physical comedy. He's a beast. Yeah, he's got a gut on him but he's mostly muscle. He can throw his body around like anyone. In "Here comes the boom." you can see how big his arms are. Even though picking up his opponent was done with wires for safety, he did it for real for the cast so they could see that he could.

He plays his fatness for comedy. I'm a pretty big guy and I'd never square up against him. Even if I'm half a foot taller.
