: Anyone, this was a great episode. The

: Actually, Richard Kiel does a pretty good

: As I recall, he didn't get to say much in

: get some in the "Wild, Wild, West"

Well, at least Kiel's voice wasn't replaced by another actor's, like in the TZ ep. And, he did get to do some actual acting; in "To Serve Man" he just sort of stands around.
And, yes, he did get a couple of lines in one Loveless episode of "WWW", and only one line in the Bond movies (in the MST-worthy "Moonraker"). If you want to see him in a pretty funny role, search for the lesser-known comedy "So Fine", with Ryan O'Neal and Jack Warden.
As for the governorship of CA, I have enough troubles with NJ's state officials. I'm not going to speculate.
