FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Richard Kiel, the towering actor best known for portraying steel-toothed villain Jaws in a pair of James Bond films, has died. He was 74.
The scene with Bond and Jaws fighting while falling from the plane was one of the best. Seeing Jaws flap his arms like wings was funny. A bit of the cheese of the Moore-Bond era, but memorable.
Very sorry to hear his passing. If it wasn't for Netflix, I wouldn't have seen any of the Bond movies, but now I've seen just about all of them and he was one of my favorite characters. RIP.
I agree MustBeGood. "Jaws" is a memorable villian. The height of the man, you would think he could touch the clouds ( like the actor who plays Chewbacca in Star Wars, who is another very tall individual)
Richard Kiel a great man ,
"Jaws" in "The Spy Wo Loved Me" (1977) and "Moonraker" (1979) Memorable character Rest In Peace
