American actor best known for starring in films such as The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All The President's Men, Sneakers, Spy Game, Out of Africa and Jeremiah Johnson. As a director he filmed Ordinary People, Quiz Show, A River Runs Through It and The Horse Whisperer. He stated once in Esquire: "I'm 5 feet 10 and a half. I've been 5-10 for a long, long time. That's why I'm not (perturbed) about all the stories wondering how tall I am. If I were some midget who had to have ditches dug for the actresses playing opposite me, if I were 5 foot 2 or something, then I would be (perturbed)". However in 1975 an article talking about his height made him respond in another interview "The whole thing started when I wouldn't answer a reporter's question about my height. The whole thing is just bull. I'm 5 feet, 11.5 inches, if anybody cares."

I'm five feet, 11 ½ inches tall. I weigh about 160 pounds. My hair is real. My teeth are not capped. And, I failed in math.

I suppose you'll ask me how tall Redford is...I can't tell you, except that he's taller than me and I'm five feet ten.

Look, I am five feet nine, have only a 34 inch chest, am short-sighted, and my hair is ginger rather than blond.
