Richard Kiel (born September 13 1939 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American actor best known for his role as Jaws in the James Bond movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. He also portrayed an alien on a famous episode of The Twilight Zone entitled "To Serve Man", a humanoid robot in the Italian movie The Humanoid and an unlikely fan in the comedy Happy Gilmore.

He notes in his 2002 autobiography, Making It Big in the Movies (ISBN 1903111315), that he used to state that he was 7 ft and 2 inches because it was easier to remember.
