Question
I was wondering if you know about Richard Kiel (as Jaws of “The Spy Who Love Me” fame) when he portrayed a circus strongman character by the name of "Big Frank.”  This would have taken place been in the late 50’s or early 60's from a television kid show that I long since forgotten the name and the name of the show’s host. The closest I can remember the host’s name was Capt. Saidly. In short, I would like to know the name of the show and its host.

Answer
No Big Frank, but he did play "Big Mike" on a TV show.  Here's the IMDb page on it:

Or you could be thinking of Roustabout, where he played a strongman (but his name isn't listed and he wasn't credited).
