RIP Richard Kiel

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Wed Sep 10, 2014 7:26 pm

Richard Kiel, who most famously played Jaws in two James Bond films starring Roger Moore, “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “Moonraker,” and also appeared in Adam Sandler comedy “Happy Gilmore,” died Wednesday afternoon in a hospital in Fresno, Calif., three days shy of his 75th birthday.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.

And let's not forget his classic Twilight Zone episode, "To Serve Man."

Or his appearances on The Wild, Wild West opposite Michael Dunn, a truly inspired case of casting.

Yes, that was truly the long and the short of it.

And let's not forget The Longest Yard (Reynolds version) with the classic, "He broke my [expletive] nose."

His online bio said he appeared on Match Game, Tattletales, Celebrity week on Feud, Bullseye(which had celebs playing for charity during its second of two seasons in the early 80s), and Win Lose or Draw.

The Family Feud appearance was especially coincidental, since Richard Kiel's middle name was Dawson.
