6'1 is the only figure I've ever seen listed for Rog, as opposed to the other Bonds who I've seen vary by a significant amount. Has it ever even been settled whether Connery, Lazenby, or Dalton was the tallest?

Sir Roger's 79 now, and may have shrunk a little (he's still a giant human being, though)...

On film, Roger looked taller than what Timothy and Pierce looked. Yet he is listed 1 inch shorter. Maybe Roger carried himself better than Tim and Pierce, if that makes sense.

Of all the Bond, I always thought Moore was the tallest. I was surprised that Connery is taller! Moore had a "slender" apperance which may have helped in the apperance of height..Connery was always a bit more stocky.

I guess it was his weight that made him look taller.
How tall was dalton?

True. Roger Moore was quite skinny in his Bond days which made him look tall.

I cannot calculate in feet, sorry :)

Roger Moore is 1M88.

But you may be interested in this discussion I've found on the web:

Good posture, too. The rest of the bunch (save maybe Brosnan) seemed to do a lot of slouching and crouching about. Could be a correlation between how much of a gentleman superhero the actor is portraying and how tall he appears relative to his true height. :)

IT was actually his hair during The Saint years that made him seem taller :)

There is a picture in these forum somewhere with Brosnan, Lazenby, Dalton, Moore, and some other gent (not Connery or Craig) and Dalton makes all of them look quite small in comparison.

I was having drinks with all 5 of the actors last year. Connery is definitely the tallest. Roger was sitting most of the time. When Dalton stood next to Pierce at the bar, they were about even height...

I also think Connery must be the tallest and, along with Lazeby, the strongest. Roger Moore is between 1m84 and 1m88 tall since Connery must be at least 1m93.

I was looking at websites and this is what i found. of course it's hard to tell whats true.

Sean Connery 6'2-6'3
George lazenby 6'21/2
Roger Moore 6'1
Timothy Dalton i've heard anywhere from 6'0(doubt it)-6'3
Pierce Brosnan 6'1
