Richard Dawson Kiel, a renowned American actor, was most notably recognized for his iconic portrayal of the formidable Jaws, a character characterized by his striking steel teeth, in the esteemed James Bond films The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979). Furthermore, Kiel's impressive presence was also felt in the popular video game Everything or Nothing, as well as in the notable film Happy Gilmore, where he played the memorable role of Mr. Larson.
As a towering figure, Kiel stood at an astonishing 7 feet 1.5 inches (2.18 m) during his prime, making him a commanding presence on screen. However, due to the natural effects of aging and the unfortunate consequences of injury, Kiel's height has slightly diminished, now standing at just under 7 feet tall.
