Above, Roger Moore and Richard Kiel in The Spy Who Loved Me. |
Sad news in the world of James Bond.
The BBC website reported:
Actor Richard Kiel - who played steel-toothed villain Jaws in two James Bond films - has died in California aged 74.
The towering American star, who appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me in 1977 and Moonraker in 1979, died in hospital in Fresno on Wednesday.
A spokeswoman for Saint Agnes Medical Center confirmed Kiel's death, but did not reveal the cause.
Richard Kiel played Jaws in one of the best Roger Moore Bonds (The Spy Who Loved Me) and one of Moore's worst (Moonraker). Kiel's portrayals of Jaws in both movies had very menacing and comedic qualities to them. He was a fan favorite on the convention circuit during the past several years.
