About David McCallum's Height
If you have ever watched one of David McCallum's movies, you may already have the idea that he was not that tall. His height is listed as 5 feet 7 inches on IMDb for a reason.
From what little we have seen of David, we think the IMDb listing is more or less correct. However, it was known that David wore lifts in his shoes during U.N.C.L.E, so probably that's why he looked a bit taller there.
This means David McCallum in his youth was more or less as tall as Tobey Maguire, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., etc.
