I'm still workin' on my first cup of coffee, but I'm thinkin' James Arness a la Gunsmoke. We'll see how I feel after my second cup...This message has been edited by BuckNekkid on 07-08-2005 at 06:36 AM

It could also be Fred Gwynne of Car 54 and The Munsters, but I'm not sure how tall he actually was. If I remember correctly Arness was like 6'6" or 6'7". But these days I don't always remember correctly

Not sure if he would be considered a star or not, how about Ted Cassidy (the original Lurch in Addams Family). He was 6' 9"

If that is the case, I might also guess that Clint Walker (aka Cheyenne Bodie) would be #2.................

There was also the actor(I can't think of his name)that portraied a villain in a few Bond pictures(Moonraker etc).He looked pretty tall or was it that Roger Moore was just short?
