*None* of the above is correct.

There are *three* people being discussed:

Ted Cassidy - played Lurch on the original Addams family,
              and Corby's assistant in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?";
              currently deceased.

Richard Kiel - played "Jaws" in the James Bond flicks.

Carel Struycken - played the Giant in Twin Peaks and Lwaxana Troi's manservant
               in the Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Note that none of them are Mick Fleetwood.

(Mick Fleetwood played a normal-sized alien in Star Trek: The Next Generation
(wearing a full-body costume that obscured his face)).

This must be at least the fourth time this topic has come up in various
newsgroups.  Someone really ought to add this to the Frequently Asked
Questions lists in rec.arts.tv, alt.tv.twin-peaks, rec.arts.startrek...
