Hollywood actor, Richard Kiel, the 7’2″ actor best known for portraying steel-toothed villain Jaws in a pair of James Bond films, has died. He was 74.
A spokesperson at Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno, California, confirmed Wednesday that Kiel was a patient at the hospital and died. Kiel’s agent, Steven Stevens, also confirmed his death. Both declined to provide further details.
Kiel famously played the cable-chomping henchman who tussled with Roger Moore’s Bond in 1977′s The Spy Who Loved Me and 1979′s Moonraker. Bond quipped of the silent baddie: “His name’s Jaws. He kills people.”
