Richard Kiel, who played the towering, steel-toothed baddie "Jaws" in two James Bond movies, has died. The 7-foot-2 inch (2.18-meter) US actor, who made a career impersonating giants and villains, passed away Wednesday in the Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno, California, hospital spokeswoman Kelley Sanchez told AFP. His representatives Andrew Boyle and Gareth Owen called Kiel "a giant of a man in every respect". Besides Jaws, Kiel appeared opposite Adam Sandler in the 1996 comedy "Happy Gilmore" and also voiced Vlad in Disney's Oscar-nominated animated film "Tangled".
