[Has your height ever interfered with you getting a part?]
It used to all the time. I'm not going to mention a name here, but there is a very famous movie star who would not work with me because of that, because he was a shrimpy little guy. [He] didn't want people to know it.

Well, two things. One he was really that big, he wasn't really that tall, but he was really that big. When I did the movie I was six foot four, he was six foot five, but I was 210 pounds and he was 350 pounds and that was 350 pounds of muscle. He was like almost a whole other human being than me when I stood next to him but to actually get that that height of Coffey there were apple cuts, apple boxes all over the (set), trails of them that he would walk along while we walked next to him just to give him that height.
