How tall is Bo Svenson

Swedish Actor best known for the original Walking Tall, The Inglorious Bastards, The Great Waldo Pepper and Heartbreak Ridge. In the 1970's described 6ft 5, for instance 1976 lima news, "If you're 6-foot-5 and weigh 225 pounds".

Look, I'm stuck. I'm 6 feet 6 inches tall and I weigh 235 pounds.How many people are going to hire me to play an intellectual? I love Shakespeare. I've studied Shakespeare, but it doesn't do me any good.

Photo by PR Photos My size is a more difficult problem. Robert Redford didn't mind I was taller than him in 'Waldo Peper.' I respected him for that. Redford is secure and knows what he can do. There's no way I can compete with his looks. But I've been eliminated from lots of roles by actors and actresses who are intimidated by my size.
I did a Western once and was amazed to see the other actors in the cast growing taller as the production progressed. Day by day they seemed to inch up a little at a time.
Half way through the picture I discovered they were stuffing paper towels in their boots. They were leaning so far forward in their toes they looked like they were walking into a stiff wind.
At least Cybill Shepherd was delighted to work with me...She's a tall girl and was able to wear high heels for the first time in a movie.
