Actor Richard Kiel died on Wednesday in Fresno, Calif. He was 74.
Along with his role in “Happy Gilmore,” the 7-foot-2 Kiel also had a memorable role in “Jaws” and was a James Bond villain in “Moonraker” and “The Spy Who Loved Me.” He will most remembered in golf circles as Mr. Lason — Happy Gilmore’s old boss, the guy with the nail in his head and Shooter McGavin’s worst nightmare.

“Aren’t you forgetting your 9-iron?”
Rest in peace, Mr. Kiel.
