Kent Shocknek height - How tall is Kent Shocknek?

On January 10, 2014, the City of Los Angeles officially proclaimed "Kent Shocknek Day," in honor of his decades of dedicated service.

Shocknek's house in the foothills above Pasadena California was the location for Lana Del Rey's music video, "Blue Jeans" in 2012. The following year he sold the house - minus the alligators in the swimming pool - for $2.4-million.

Coincidentally has appeared in two unrelated films, both titled "The Chosen One." First was Rob Schneider's 2010 comedy, and second was a 2021 independent film, that featured a question-mark after the wording.

Named one of L.A.'s top three anchors by L.A. Confidential magazine, Shocknek anchored the news at the CBS-owned television stations CBS2-TV and KCAL9 in L.A.'s Studio City from 2001 to 2014. Previously, he anchored and reported at cross-town rival KNBC-TV in Burbank.

Shocknek was the original anchor of the first early-morning newscast in Los Angeles, KNBC's "Today in L.A.," starting in 1986. He continued anchoring morning newscasts at KNBC, then at L.A.'s "CBS2 News" without pause until late 2013, before moving to prime-time newscasts on Los Angeles' CBS TV-owned "KCAL9 News at 8 and 10 PM.".

An avowed fan of James Bond movies, Shocknek's first non-news role was as an extra, playing a fisherman in the San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf scene of the 1985 007 film, "A View to a Kill." (Now) producer Barbara Broccoli recognized him near the filming site, and invited him to be part of the background action.
