jakeem Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Richard Kiel, the oversized actor who played the hired assassin "Jaws" in two 1970s James Bond films, has died at the age of 74. Some will remember him as Voltaire, henchman of the diabolical Dr. Miguelito Loveless on TV's "The Wild, Wild West." He also appeared in of one of the best-ever episodes of "The Twilight Zone" -- Rod Serling's 1962 teleplay "To Serve Man" (from a short story by Damon Knight). http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-richard-kiel-has-died-20140910-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistervegan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 he also played a very brief, but significant part in 'the longest yard': 'i think i broke his freakin' neck'. He also had a small but interesting role in Clint Eastwood's "PALE RIDER". RIP Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NipkowDisc Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 In real life, Richard Kiel was a gentle giant. RIP. that's a dam shame. who didn't like Richard Kiel? It is heartwarming when he as Jaws winds up with the cute bispectacled blonde with the pigtails in Moonraker. He is also memorably funny in that Gilligan's Island ep about the ghost.
