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.
Kiel broke into films in the mid-1960s with the B-movie Eegah. He also portrayed an alien on a famous episode of The Twilight Zone titled "To Serve Man," a humanoid robot in the Italian movie The Humanoid, a "tough guy" in Pale Rider and an unlikely fan in the comedy Happy Gilmore.
Kiel's distinctive height and features are a result of a hormonal condition known as acromegaly. Kiel stands at 7 ft and 1 3/4 inches (217.8 cm). 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.
