American Actor, best remembered for roles in films like Witchfinder General, The Fly (1958), The Pit and the Pendulum, House of Wax, House of Usher, The Comedy of Terrors, House on Haunted Hill, Laura and Edward Scissorhands. In his daughter's biography there is a quote by Vincent talking about his height: "Since I was well on my way to a gigantic six-foot-four, the food side of my cultural background was most appreciated, and I have never regretted my knowledge of how to eat well."
On another occasion, he bemoaned one of the disadvantages in being tall when flying regularly: "It's been an ordeal. I'm six foot four and can't stretch out to sleep on a plane."
