How Tall is Big John on Outer Banks?
We're back in the OBX for another season, and it was revealed that John B's dad, Big John, is actually alive at the end of the Netflix series' season 2 finale. Ahead of season 3, showrunners teased that Big John would play a substantial role in the latest installment of the summer-set YA series.
"John B's relationship with his dad is a huge theme and having his dad back around and eventually they're going to meet back up and John B has to reconcile his idealized version of his dead dad with the reality of his alive dad. It gives us a lot of thematic father-son stuff to work with," Outer Banks creator Josh Pate told Entertainment Weekly in 2021.
Upon the release of OBX 3, Big John helps John B and the rest of the Pogues find their way to the precious treasure of El Dorado gold. During their season 3 binge-watch, fans have noticed how the actor who plays Big John, Charles Halford, towers over co-stars Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline.

Charles Halford, who plays Big John on the action-packed Netflix series, is reportedly 6'6" (6 feet, 6 inches) tall. The 42-year-old actor opened up about his typical audition process during an interview with Atlanta magazine in 2014 in support of his project, Constantine.
"I'm a really tall guy – I'm like six-six – so it's rare that you see them specifically looking for really tall people for series regulars," he told the outlet. "It was basically just an audition, and they were looking for my height. I went in and apparently did a good enough job for them to hire me."
