4. He is a really nice guy. I met him at a GameStop conference quite a few years ago. Seemed very down to earth.

6. He was awesome in Happy Gilmore with Adam Sandler. He was Mr. Larson, the huge boss with a nail sticking out of the side of his head.

8. Met him about a year ago in Vegas doing an autograph signing at a memorabilia shop at the Aladdin i think it was. He was very friendly and actually seemed to enjoy meeting the people there.

10. Anyone other than me old enough to remember him as "Voltaire" the assistant to the evil Dr. Loveless on the old Wild Wild West TV show?

He scared me with those teeth. I dreamed about the guy afterwards. And it wasn't a good dream, either.

12. For those who don't know, Kiel was the giant alien in the TWilight Zone episode "To Serve Man". He did not speak in that episode, as there was a voiceover for his character.

15. I remember also he was on a Lassie episode in his younger days. Most guys his size are usually dead long before 60. It sucks he can't really walk around.
