I couldn't find out anything on his height, but apparently he has a deep raspy voice. (He's somewhat better looking than I pictured Runcorn as being, but if he's big and mean-looking, he'll do!

According to imdb O'Hara is 5'11". I can so see him as Bill Sikes. John the Baptist not as much. What I remember him from is the "crazy" Irishman in Braveheart. An excellent character actor that can definitely play "dangerous" & "brooding" characters that are "slightly off". He should do quite well.
