I was genuinely scared of his Jaws character as a kid. But it was nice to see him in interviews like this - such a nice, well-read guy. RIP Richard
-
I met him at a convention when I was a kid. Even in his old age, he was enormous. He palmed my head like a mango. Cool man.
-
I don't think Dave was expecting Richard Kiel to be as articulate and sardonic as he was. It took Dave about two minutes to realize that this guy was someone that he could relate to. Wonderful guy. The gap in the teeth reference was genius. Dave didn't see that coming.

‘’And you can count on me waiting for you in the parking lot’’
-
I'm shocked that he wasn't in a ton more of movie's (all genres) and more TV shows as well !!! He was a great actor and very funny and nice guy !!! RIP Richard Kiel
-
"I'm one of your biggest fans" -- classic! 🤣
-
A gentle giant.
-
I'd heard about his sense of humor from people who worked with him. I've never seen an actual interview. It's a shame he didn't get many. He's entertaining.
-
What a sincere, fun and pleasant man he was. And in Happy Gilmore. And - never judge a book by its cover.
-
He was a really smart and funny guy, and a big Dave fan obviously.
-
Such an absolute gent and genuinely nice guy. ❤
-
I always thought you missed out not making Big Dave, Little Dave as a tv series. lol. Rest in peace, Richard - always bought everything to his roles and was a sweet dude.
-
I genuinely would have liked to have met Richard Kiel.
-
Richard Kiel played one of my most favorite villians!!!
-
One of the few guests I can recall that actually put Letterman off his game because of how much different he expected him to be
-
Richard Kiel was in the most famous episode of "Twilight Zone" called 'To Serve Man'.
-
The best villain of all the Bonds. I always wanted to find teeth like that when I was a kid. 😆 🤣
-
He's hilarious. Dave needed to lighten up a bit.
-
Anyone else remember near the end of Moonraker a blond pigtailed girl helps Jaws out of a jam and then she smiles and you see she has braces on her teeth, and he smiles at seeing that and they walk off hand in hand, well apparently in the movie she didn't have braces at all, but me and a lot of other people remember she did. That was the joke of the scene. But so ive heard all versions on VHS and DVD don't show her with braces. It's like the "Mandela Effect"

If Mr. Kiel ever pulls out a copy of the book “To Serve Man” – run!
