Answer 7

Harry & the Henderson (1987)
No one bothered to mention the actor who played Harry! That's really sad because he was wonderful in the role: Kevin Peter Hall. He co-starred with John Lithgow and Melinda Dillon. EDIT: YEA! Someone did mention this actor while I was busy writing this. I won't change this because his name bears repeating, and I want to leave the information for people to see.

Most of the time, Hall was in makeup/prosthetics head to toe as one creature or another, including the Predator in both films, the mutant bear in "Prophecy" (1979), the Alien in "Without Warning" (1980), the Monster in "Monster in the Closet" (1987), and Gorvil (monster) in "Rona Jaffe's Mazes and Monsters" (1982). In "Misfits of Science", he played Dr. Elvin "El" Lincoln, who could shrink his 7'2 1/2" form to a tiny size. There were very few times that he was able to play a role as just a regular though very tall fellow.

Kevin Peter Hall also played Harry in the pilot for the series. Prior to this series, he appeared sans monster suits in a series titled "Misfits of Science".

From IMDB:
Mini Biography
This Afro-American actor attended Penn Hills High School in Pittsburgh, PA. He started his junior year at 6' 5" and finished it at 6' 9"! He played basketball throughout his high school years and won himself a scholarship. He averaged 18 points a game and 10 rebounds! He played basketball during college but not when it would interfere with his major, Theatrical Arts at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. During his college years, he met Jay Fenichel, with whom he would later make musical productions. Upon graduation, Fenichel moved to Los Angeles, and Hall moved to Venezuela to play basketball. After a year, he lost interest and relocated to LA. Together, they put together two nightclub acts/musicals. One was a semi-autobiographical two-man musical, "In Five", and the other was a two-man show called "The Worst Of Friends", both of which played in nightclubs throughout the LA area. They also had a promotional business where they did promotional acts in department stores for new products throughtout the LA area. While working on the set of the series "227" (1985), he met his co-star, Alaina Reed. who played Rose Lee Holloway. They married both on the set, and in real life, and they had two children. "Predator 2" (1990) came out in December 1990, and, in April 1991, he died of the AIDS virus which he contracted through a blood transfusion a few months before production began."
