the others are short. Brent Spiner is only 5'11

Yeah - all of Hollywood is incredibly short. I’m 5’11” myself and remember towering over like 95% of all the actors and musicians I met when I used to work awards shows. It was very eye opening. Anytime you see an actor that appears insanely tall they are usually only like 6’3” (which is just barely tall enough in my tall opinion 😜)

I believe it's because it works better on screen to have actors who are roughly similar heights, including men and women. So you get slightly taller than average women and shorter than average men.

Either that, or you have to do interesting things with framing. For example, in the BTTF movies, they'd have Christopher Lloyd (6'1") stand further from the camera than Michael J Fox (5'4") so that they'd both be more even in the scene. Lloyd also affected a hunched posture to help.

They fired the original Jennifer (Melora Hardin, Jan from The Office) when Michael J. Fox replaced Eric Stoltz since Melora was taller than Michael.

The Scullybox/Gillyboard is very much a real thing!

Can you imagine the set of night court I'd Teo od them were average heights.

Right. Most of those older Hollywood actors are short. Not sure how that translates on the small screen, but it’s rare to see Briner’s height on the big screen.

Michael Dorn is 6’3, almost four inches taller than spiner. He’s standing on a curb in this pic.

I second thr standing on a curb... he's holding in to Patrick for dear life!!!!

It would explain why Dorn is laughing.

TokenToyHunter@reddit

I don’t really buy that Michael Dorn is 6’3. I’m 6’1 and I saw him in a mall a few years ago and he didn’t even look the same height as me, let alone taller.

djnerdyd@reddit

I mean he's also old, and you do shrink with age?

[-]

kylathekoala@reddit

He could have cowboy boots on.

Great pictures.

Marina’s husband (also named Michael) was a cool dude. I met and talked with him a few times because he knew a close member of my family.

Did they ever say what he passed away from?

[-]

MovieFan1984@reddit

I didn't know she was a widow. :'(

[-]

kkkan2020@reddit (OP)

Yeah it was sudden her husband died in his sleep just like that couple of years ago. She's even older than the husband by like 3 years

[-]

MovieFan1984@reddit

Marina is such a joyful lady, I wish she hadn't had to lose him. :'(

[-]

kkkan2020@reddit (OP)

i had to look it up again her husband has been gone for 6 years already O_O time flies.

MovieFan1984@reddit

When Troi was upset over the idea of losing Riker in PIC S3, I wonder how much of that was Marina?

[-]

kkkan2020@reddit (OP)

im betting that it's really more marina than troi a complaint of the treks involving tng actors from star trek nemesis and onward is it seems like the actors are injecting more of themselves into their characters.
