House of One Corpse
Irwin
Keyes, Richard Kiel’s mini-me, has died of complications of acromegaly
at the age of 63. Keyes put his acromegalic appearance to good use as a
character actor playing the heavy in a range of low-budget horror and
sci-fi movies, such as The House of 1,000 Corpses, Evil Bong 3-D and The
Exterminator, as well as played the archetype for laughs in films and
TV shows like The Naked Gun and The Flintstones. He had a recurring role
as George’s bodyguard Hugo Mojelewski on The Jeffersons, and his
repeated line "Hi! Remember Me?" became a bit of a national catchphrase,
back before catchphrases were more tightly regulated.
