Your_Lion Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Richard Kiel, best known for playing Jaws in the James Bond films, has died at the age of 74. Kiel appeared alongside Roger Moore in both The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, yet his film career also covered the likes of Cannonball Run II, Pale Rider, Happy Gilmore and Force 10 From Navarone. His casting, particularly in his earlier work, made specific use of his 7 foot 2 inch height, but then more recently, he also lent his voice to the Disney movie Tangled.He died in California, and is survived by his wife and four children.

Narps Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Damn I loved Jaws. I was working as an usher at a movie theater when The Spy Who Loved Me came out. I must have watched that movie 30 times at least. I bet could still recite the dialog. RIP Jaws..... :( Edited September 11, 2014 by Narpski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatLightInYourEyes Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 He was in a couple of MST3K riffed movies as well. RIP Yeah, I've been mourning along with the MST fandom as well. Joel Hodgson shared a very nice (and funny) story on his Facebook that Kiel told him. R.I.P. Gentle Giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
