If nonbasketball related television trivia bothers you, then just look away.
As basketball officials we're used to dealing with tall individuals, but others may not.

You wouldn't know by the photo that Chester (Dennis Weaver) is 6' 2". He looks tiny here compared to Matt Dillon (Jim Arness) who was 6' 7".
Arness: "In one film the leading man was five-ten, and I had to play all my scenes sitting down. Then there were times when they'd dig a trench for me to stand in so I wouldn't dwarf the rest of the cast. Once they even had two leading characters wearing foot-high lifts on their shoes".
