He is 6'7", not 6'4".

Six four is nonsense. I was writing about him on another board a few days ago but couldn't remember his name. I referred to him as being about 6'6' and everyone knew who I was writing about.

I spent three hours with him at Universal studios (as part of a USC course). First off, let me say he is massive. He had to duck just to enter the room. No, I'm not joking. He is also very cynical. To the point where it's funny. He also was into swearing a lot.
F'in this, f'in that, those f'in sobs in hollywood. And that was before he even sat down. Again - not joking.
But, he's 5b4also one of the nicest and most respectful people I have ever met. He was also very kind and warm to us lowly students.

How can one be "respectful" when they are openly swearing and supposedly knowing they are in front of others who might take offense to such language?
This is hypocritical to his PETA stance. If one were to slaughter chickens in a public forum, would it be "respectful" of that person to do so if there were people present who were previously unaware that such actions would take place? If he were subjected to such a sight I would hazard to guess that he would not find the slaughter to be respectful to him.
Of course not.
P.S. I mention chickens as he is noted on this website as being offended to the killing of chickens on "Survivor". -

Whne I say he was respectful, I mean he was respectful to us students. We came to him to learn and he treated us as students who were serious about learning. He didn't look down on us are act all "high-and-mighty". He was very easy to talk to.

I understand how you found him to be respectful by his actions when meeting with your group. What I contended is that he was nevertheless disrespectful to your group by his actions when he wasnot meeting you but while still within earshot. He apparently disregarded that his language would not be apprciated by people around him.
If I were to be in a crowd and was dropping "f-bombs" left and right without regard for who may be within earshot and I then walked up to your group and was quite cordial, I would still have acted in a rude and crude manner by my previous actions within your presence.
While he was courteous to you and your group when directly speaking with you, he was nonetheless diesrespectful to you by disregarding how you would receive the langauge he used in your presence, even though it may not have been direct to you.
Another example, you are sitting your car and someone gets in with you and immediately lights a cigarette without asking if it is alright with you. He then is quite friendly and chatty to you, yet he has still been disrespectful by not taking into account that you may not have wanted someone smoking in your car. -

only people born in the 1920's think this way.
this is the mentality that all people should go out of their way to cater to people who expect more from others than should be required.
no one in their right mind would light a cigarette in YOUR car without asking you. That has many repercussions (smell/allergic reaction/smoke in the car and needing a window open/etc.). If it is THEIR car, you are the beep for telling them how to act in their car, just because you dont want them to act that way. They are driving you arent they?
swearing is not even the same. People are only sensitive to swearing when they are around kids too often (or they are born in the 1920s). This is because it is a type of communication which usually accentuates personality traits. Its obvious that someone who swears is not your type of person, but to blame them for being who they are is just you trying to tell them that you are the epitome of the human condition and that they should act like you. -

I recently saw the episode of MAS*H that he appeared on. In the scenes inside th "Swamp" he appeared to be 3-5 inches taller then both Alan Alda (6'2'') and Mike Farrell (6'3''). The height difference seemed especially noticable between Alda and Cromwell.
Another example, watch Star Trek: First Contact. Look at the scenes where he is standing next to Jonathan Frakes (Riker). Frakes is listed at 6'4'' and he is definitely at least 6'4''. In those scenes Cromwell is taller. -

The concept of a room full of college students being offended by the f-word is completely absurd. Unless it's a menonite school, or something like that, I'd wager good money that at least 99% of them use the word just as regularly. And even if you don't use it, there is no logical reason to be offended by it. Some people are so puritanical.
And yes, he is definitely taller than 6'4". -
