Matthew McGrory: He's Dead Jim

Matthew McGrory, Karl in 'Big Fish,' dead at 32
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Matthew McGrory, the deep-voiced 7-foot-plus actor
who moved from appearances on Howard Stern's radio show to a
high-profile role as a gentle giant in Big Fish, has died. He was 32.
McGrory died Tuesday at his home in the Sherman Oaks section of Los
Angeles, said director Drew Sky, who was working with him on his
current movie, a biopic of wrestler-turned-actor Andre the Giant.
Paramedics determined he died of apparent natural causes, police said
in a statement.
McGrory had size 29 shoes and for years held a world record for biggest
feet not caused by elephantiasis. The title led to his appearances on
Stern's show in the 1990s and other attention from the national media
even before he became an actor. He attended law school and showed up in
music videos before starting his career in Hollywood B-movies.
He played a human Sasquatch in 2001's Bubble Boy, an alien in Men In
Black II (2002) and Tiny in the Rob Zombie horror movies House of 1000
Corpses (2003) and its sequel released this year, The Devil's Rejects.
His big break in Hollywood came in 2003 with Tim Burton-directed Big
Fish. Ewan McGregor's character refuses to be intimidated by the size
of McGrory's Karl character, walking up to shake his hand.
McGrory's family and girlfriend declined immediate comment.
Sky said he first met McGrory at a bar in 2000 and had been filming
Andre: Heart of the Giant on and off for six months. He said that
McGrory, who was from West Chester, Pa., felt a connection with the man
he was playing, wrestler and The Princess Bride actor Andre Rousimmoff,
who died in 1993.
"He felt the same way, that he would do anything just to be a person of
regular size one day a week, where people don't have to stare at him,
where he could go see a regular movie and walk down the street," Sky
said.

there's a korean guy doing kickboxing at the moment who is 7 foot 2.
if there's anything more unusual looking than a 7 foot 2 guy, it's a 7 foot
2 guy who looks oriental.
i dont know what his penis is like though....

A 7 foot French guy would be pretty weird. Not as weird as a French guy
with 7 feet.
