Here's a picture of what "Tiny" would look like if Andrew Duggan's character hadn't shot him in that so-called "friendly" town of Bracket (i.e., Crestline, CA).
A recent photo of actor Richard Kiel, that I saw recently on the Internet regarding actors and actresses from James Bond films and what they look like today.
Always so good to hear from you and to know that you are still out there.
Thanks for the interesting update on "Tiny" a.k.a. Richard Kiel .... of course, you piqued Tatia's curiosity, so I did a little hunting around.
Mr. Kiel (all 7 feet 2 inches of him) appears to be quite active on the Autograph Show circuit. Here he is at a show in 2006. It appears "everyone" wants his autograph.
And he also has a new book out. And it's not what you would expect, it's called "How To Sell Your House 100 TIMES AS FAST! And Save 60% - 90% in Sales Costs!" Yep, a real estate book, not an entertainment bio. (Apparently, he's written one of those, too.)
If you go to his website, there is a list of his upcoming personal appearances and a video with him describing his new book.
Of course, we still all think of him as "Tiny" from "A Few Miles West of Nowhere" ...

... while most people automatically associate him with JAWS from the Bond films.
But my all-time favorite role of his is the Kanamit from TWILIGHT ZONE's "To Serve Man" episode
.... The word "cookbook" has never, ever been the same for me since.
Thanks Mr. Conway for helping keep us informed ... hope you'll stop by more often!!
Mr. Kiel was at the autograph show I went to last November in L.A. I did not stop by his table myself, which was really close to Culp's, but he seemed very friendly and had a nice smile on his face the times I glanced at him.
