RIP. The guy was awesome in James Bond

Saw the story earlier. Too bad... Definitely one of my favorite characters from Bond.

I liked him most in The Longest Yard.

Yeah, a great Bond villain.

Personally, Happy Gilmore was my favorite. If you pay close attention in Happy Gilmore, it is quite obvious that he was already having problems moving around back then, they tried to film the shots in a manner to minimize the attention to that. One of the curses of being a big guy, it really takes a toll on your joints.

One of the great iconic Bond villians of all time. It's a tossup between him and Oddjob.

The most remembered Bond Villian in my book. RIP Kiel.
