Oh wow, that was my favorite JB movie. I saw it when it was first in the theaters when I was a kid, it blew me away. Well God rest his soul.

That is sad. RIP big guy.

I met him at my first Dragoncon years and years ago. I’m 6’3 250ish and I shook his hand and it was like an adult grasping a toddler’s.

A few visits to DC later and he was getting around on a scooter. No surprise with him as big as he was and having problems.

I remember him most from the “To Serve Man” episode of Twilight Zone. May he rest in peace.

Many really large people seem to have some form of genetic disability or some sort of physical problems.

I don’t think he did, he was just large.

He was born in Jesup, Georgia. A small town in the SE part of the state.

I met him in 1985 He and I were on the same flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. At the Las Vegas airport some girls asked him if they could be photographed with him. he said yes and he asked me to take the pictures. After I took the pictures he thanked me profusely and told me how kind I was. He was the nicest man I ever met. RIP.

He also played in Bert Reynolds movies Gator, The Longest Yard, and at least one other I’m certain. In Gator he was driving a car with his head sticking out of the sun roof.

Wow. The first James Bond movie I ever saw was “Moonraker”, and I loved him in it, even though he scared me.

He was so good in “Happy Gilmore “’, and the Twilight Zone.

I didn’t know he was 7’ 2” tall.
