How tall was Roy Scheider?

Obvialy, the old actor's axiom of "never being with children or animals" has never been spoken with lean and angular authority, or supporting actor Roy Scheider, should they ruin their performance. Breaking that rule did him no harm, though, as he achieved pop cult status by finding, fighting and blowing up a 25-foot-long Great White shark (nicknamed "Bruce") in the mega-hit Jaws (1975) and then electrocuting an even bigger Great White in the vastly inferior Jaws 2 (1978).
