William Hopper was a big guy -- as was evident by his stature in his movies.
In an episode of Gunsmoke, his height was listed as 6 feet 3 inches -- which is how tall he is listed as all over the internet -- including IMDb.
This must be correct as William didn't look that much shorter than 6 feet 6 inches tall James Arness who towered over nearly all people around him. William also looked noticeably taller than Raymond Burr who was 6 feet 1½ inches (187 cm).
