How tall was Claude Akins?

Claude Akins had wavy black hair, a powerfully booming accent, and was equally suited to sneering cynical criminals as he was to portray hard-necked officers. Akins, the son of a police officer, rarely seemed short of work and starred in almost 100 movies and 180 + tv shows in a career lasting more than 40 years. While attending Northwestern University, he went on to fight in Burma and the Philippines in the US Army Signal Corps in World War II. Upon his return he reignited his interest in theater and acting and appeared in From Here to Heaven (1953) in front of the camera for the first time.
