Richard Dawson Kiel (1939–2014) var en amerikansk skuespiller.

Biografi

Richard Kiel var kjent for rollen som Jaws (Stålkjeften) i James Bond-filmene Spionen som elsket meg (1977) og Måneraketten (1979).

Opprinnelig arbeidet Kiel etter sin skolegang i en rekke kortvarige stillinger, blant annet som dørvakt på nattklubb, selger av gravplasser

Før James Bond-rollene hadde Richard Kiel medvirket i en rekke lavbudsjettfilmer. Det tok imidlertid noe tid før han fikk roller som tillot ham å utøve virkelig skuespill, utover å fremstå som stor og truende. Virkelige karakterroller fikk han blant annet med tittelrollen i filmen Eegah (1962), og gjesteroller i TV-serier. Kiel medvirket senere i filmer som Cannonball Run II og Styrke 10 fra Navarone. I 2007 var Kiel aktuell i TV-serien Welcome to Sweden der han reiste rundt i Sverige sammen med Verne Troyer fra Austin Powers.

Kiel var født-på-ny-kristen og fremholdt at Gud hadde hjulpet ham med å overvinne sin alkoholavhengighet.
