I don't know him, but a great idea and well executed

Don't know him, but he looks impressive. Great shot.

I certainly remember him when growing up. Years ago I read about his life growing up, wrestling then moving to movies. It would have been great to see him in more films.

Andre the Giant - never heard of him here in NZ - Did I miss anything special?

I had forgotten about him....he was apparently a very nice man

I can still see him scaling the side of that cliff in The Princess Bride,
"But I am carrying two and he is only one." and "It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise."

I too, am reminded of the Princess Bride, which I just watched recently. He was terrific in it. V
