generation got to know Kiel from his role in 1996′s “Happy Gilmore” as
Adam Sandler’s adversary turned ally towards the end of the film.

Kiel was recently treated at St. Agnes Medical Center, according to the
Associated Press. His cause of death was not released.

His representative Steven Stevens called him “a giant actor, a giant man,
[and] a giant friend.”
