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"?
