Those two men were often confused. Some people thought Kiel had died when,
in 1979, Cassidy passed away (at 46) from heart surgery. Interestingly, Kiel
tried out for the part of the Hulk in the INCREDIBLE HULK TV series in 1977; and
in a few long shots you can still spot Kiel instead of Lou Ferrigno in the pilot.
Meanwhile, Cassidy was hired to narrate the prologue that began each
episode (and to supply the Hulk's growls, as well). [After Cassidy's death,
actor Charles Napier was hired to do the Hulk's growls.]

Jaws MIGHT, because he's supposed to be an assassin --but Lurch would win because he's on a sitcom, and a "hero." Some funny thing would happen to Jaws, and Lurch would win.

:starwars

I saw Keil at a sci-fi convention in 1980, and he'd mentioned Ted and his death. That's the first I'd heard of it.

Of course, if you were to ask either man which would win, he might give you the same answer as did Rick Hurst in an episode of The Greatest American Hero: Hurst played a TV superhero for a burgerstore as Captain Bellybuster:
"Superman and I would never get into a fight, because we're on the same side."

:loveu

Actually, it was Chuck McCann who played the part of Captain Bellybuster in the GAH episode "Captain Bellybuster And The Speed Factory."

Yeah, that's right. I got that name mixed up.
But do you know if he worked on The King and Odie? imdb doesn't say.
