We admit that we far preferred the hulking Richard Kiel as “Jaws” in the two 70’s James Bond films, and we actually had a soft spot for him as “Mr. Larson”, the man with a nail in his head in Happy Gilmore. But the seven foot five actor was a beast for the “Mean Machine” in the Longest Yard, and quite the intimidating one at that. His most memorable moment in the flick was having his nose broke, and whining like a five year old; which though may not be one that strikes fear, does illicit a few chuckles. We’ll say this; he delivered it a lot better than Bob Sapp did in the remake.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Longest Yard (1974)
Actor:
Richard Kiel
Position Portrayed:
Linebacker
Played for:
The Mean Machine
Why you should vote for him:
How about just for the “Jaws” factor.
Why you should not vote for him:
His biggest line involves him whining about a broken nose.
