Richard Kiel, aka Jaws from the Bond films, has died at the age of 74. He broke his leg last week but no one is sure if that is what led to his death or not.

He also stared in the Longest Yard (Burt Reynolds version,) Happy Gilmore (What most younger folks probably remember him from,) and was the original casting choice for the Incredible Hulk TV show.

Such a shame, always liked the guy. Very much a gentle giant.

The guy had Jaws (and apparently everything else) of steel...

Truly RIP. Great guy.

He was also in a Clint Eastwood western called Pale Rider where he worked for the villainous mining baron but ended up helping Clint in a couple short but memorable scenes.
