Although usually cast for his physical presence, Kiel is capable of acting with depth and sensitivity. For example, in the Hugo Grimaldi film The Human Duplicators (1964), Kiel portrayed Kolos, a giant alien sent to Earth to prepare the way for an alien invasion by making android duplicates of human beings (who were then killed). Kiel portrays Kolos as a stoic but sensitive being, who follows his orders even though he does not like them. Out of compassion, he refuses an order to duplicate (and kill) the daughter (Dolores Faith, of Phantom Planet and Mutiny In Outer Space) of a famous scientist (George MacReady, from Soul Of A Monster and The Alligator People), and this compassion is his downfall. In the final scene, Kolos admits defeat to the humans who have foiled his plan, but Kiel's delivery is nuanced with touches of sadness and respect as he admits that he himself is an android, and the audience can't help but sympathize with the alien as he returns to his masters, the "galaxy beings", where we know he will be destroyed for his failure.
