How tall is James Earl Jones

American actor best known for Field of Dreams, Conan the Barbarian, Sneakers and most notably Star Wars (as the voice of Darth Vader). In an interview in 2006 with Baseball Hall of Fame he said "I'm six foot one", although in his biography when recounting a Newsweek description: " 'He even looks smaller than his 6 feet 1.' [Actually, I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall.]' ". A 1989 Gazette article described him "At 6 feet 1 1/2 inches". Arnie once commented "I was the smallest guy on the set during the first film. John (Milius) hired all monsters - James Earl Jones towered over me; so did Wilt."Photo by PR Photos

I'm 6-foot-1, so when I'm in shape, I qualify for a lot of athletic-looking parts.

I never encountered a lot of racial prejudice. Nobody has ever called me a n****. Maybe because I'm 6-feet-1, a big guy with a big voice.
