EXCITED FOR THIS AND Teeheehee


The height differences will be entertaining. Not that they really matter all too much. JUST SAYING!
Allen Ginsberg's actual height was 6'3"
Daniel Radcliffe's = 5'5"
guy plaing Jack Kerouac = 6'

Get ready for some crazy camera angles.

I always thought Ginsberg was short? I wonder why I got that impression? Looking forward to this anyway, starts filming soon.

Do you have any talents?

Are you sure Ginsberg was over 6 feet? Who will play Burroughs? I think Hall will play Kammerer but can't be sure. How could Hall play Bourroughs? He looks nothing like him.

I looked at some pictures and it did look like Ginsberg was taller than I thought. I really am curious about who will play Burroughs. Apparently Cassidy wasn't around in 1944.

Adrien Brody once played Ginsberg. The Last Time I Committed Suicide was a pretty good beat film.

According to IMDB, Ginsberg was 5' 7".

Now I'm confused...I think Burroughs was 6'3".

reply

Burroughs was 6'1" according to IMDB, and Kerouac 5'8".

These later numbers are correct. Allen was about 5' 7", Jack was about 5' 8"

That 6' 1" for Burroughs is off. I met him a few times and I'd say about 5' 10" maybe 5' 11" at most.

I grew up in the Beat Generation in Brooklyn and my cousin was obsessed with him as a teenager and I don't recollect him being that tall in the photos she had taped on her walls.

In pictures he appears average in height or just below. He is smaller than Bob Dylan in photos and Bob is 5"6" to 5'7". I do believe Burroughs was described by Kerouac as being tallish at about 6' to 6'1" and jack huston who is playing Kerouac is 6 ft and Kerouac was a couple inches taller than Ginsberg.

Daniel Radcliff is a good choice because he could be made to appear like a young
ginsberg.

Does anyone have a source for 6'3"?
