Richard Kiel
Actor; best known for playing henchman "Jaws" in two James Bond films -- via Variety. Born with acromegaly, the 7-foot,-1.5 inch-tall Kiel was typecast as aliens, monsters, and villains throughout his career. Despite this, he was a good actor who could pull off comedy as adeptly as he could menace.
