BIOGRAPHY

Towering at an impressive 7'2", Richard Kiel left an indelible mark on cinema, becoming a beloved figure for his distinctive presence in numerous genre films. While he often played intimidating characters, his signature role as Jaws in the James Bond classics *The Spy Who Loved Me* (1977) and *Moonraker* (1979) showcased a surprising blend of menace and charisma. These films, especially their early Blu-ray releases, are staples in any Bond collector’s catalog, with Kiel’s portrayal a major highlight. Beyond Bond, Kiel’s varied career saw him appear in everything from the Burt Reynolds football comedy *The Longest Yard* (1974) to Clint Eastwood’s western, *Pale Rider* (1985), both essential for collectors curating a retrospective of these directors. For fans of cult comedies, his turn as Mr. Larson in *Happy Gilmore* remains a quotable favorite, a perennial on DVD and Blu-ray wish lists. And let’s not forget his voice role as Vlad in Disney’s *Tangled* (2010), demonstrating his versatility even late in his career, making that 4K disc a treasured item for animation aficionados. Kiel’s filmography is a treasure trove for physical media collectors, embodying a unique era of character acting.
