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.
