It’s being reported that the actor Richard Kiel has passed away at the age of 74. He was over seven feet tall so his acting roles were colorful. Kiel is probably best known for his portrayal of James Bond’s metal-toothed adversary “Jaws.” who tangled with James Bond, but he acted in a wide variety of movies and television shows, including Happy Gilmore, The Twilight Zone, The Longest Yard (the original with Burt Reynolds), even I Dream of Jeannie.
