Richard Kiel, who became famous for portraying the James Bond villain, Jaws ... died Wednesday afternoon at the age of 74 ... TMZ has learned.

Kiel starred in dozens of movies over the span of 50 years ... though his Jaws character became his most iconic role after debuting in 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me" alongside Roger Moore. He returned in "Moonraker" two years later.

Pretty sure. The image of him escorting people onto that spaceship haunted my young mind.

Jerry had the meanest gun I ever saw at the time. A sawed off double barrel shotgun.

One of the all time best “bad guys”.

Jerry was a great character actor. I liked him better than Burt.

Bama McCall. Reed called himself the “Alabama Wild Man” tho I think he was actually born in Georgia.

In Gator, “Bones” wasn’t Kiel. Some other guy. But that was great seeing Bones’ head sticking out of the Mark IV roof.

My mistake. Thanks

BTW he was The Incredible Hulk in 1977 {1978 season}. Lot's of rolls he had I had forgotten.

LOL! Just looking at his strange features in that program, it seemed as though they didn’t use a lot of makeup on him.

He was a very nice man. I met him in the mid 1990’s, when he gave his testimony at Hilltop Community Church, in Richmond, California.

He had a great line in the original (and by far, the best) “The Longest Yard.”

I was 12 when I saw the first Bond movie, Dr. No,.

Seeing Ursula Andrews walking out of the surf turned me into a life long Heterosexual. ;~ ))

I met Richard at the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas a year ago August. He had a small booth in the back of the room and was very cordial to me.

Rest in Peace Richard Kiel.

You’re thinking of “Lurch” from the Addams Family.
