Richard Kiel (1939-2014) was an American actor, voice artist, and comedian, best known for his role as Jaws in the James Bond franchise. He also had cameos in many other James Bond video games and was known for roles in The Longest Yard (1974), Silver Streak (1976), Force 10 from Navarone (1978), Pale Rider (1985), and as Mr. Larson in Happy Gilmore (1996). In television, he appeared as the Kanamit alien in the classic The Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man" (1962) and as Dr. Miguelito Loveless' assistant, Voltaire, in first-season episodes of The Wild, Wild West (1965-1966). He also produced, co-wrote, and starred in The Giant of Thunder Mountain. He later appeared in the episode "The Night of the Simian Terror" as Dimas, the outcast son of a wealthy family, banished because of birth defects that distorted his body and apparently affected his mind. This episode is significant because it allowed Kiel the opportunity to really act rather than just look intimidating. Kiel also had a cameo role in an episode of The Rifleman (1961).
