Rest In Peace, Richard Kiel

[calliopes_pen]

Richard Kiel passed away on September 10th, at the age of 74. May he rest in peace. While most people know him as Jaws from a couple of James Bond movies, I remember him (and I might be the only person that went to the theater for this one) from The Giant of Thunder Mountain (1991), where he played Eli Weaver. MST3K fans might also remember him from Eegah, The Human Duplicators and The Phantom Planet.

I knew him from a couple of the MST3Ks and an episode of the Monkees (where he played a Frankenstein's Monster sort of android who really just wanted to be a folk rocker). RIP.
