Another sad day.

Tuesday, August 9th, Matthew McGrory died at his home, he was 32 years old, paramedics at the scene determined the death to be natural causes.

Now, this normally wouldn't make much of a headline for us here, not that the loss of life isn't tragic, but Matthew McGrory played a large role in a movie I hold dear in my memory.

Litterally larger than life, standing at 7ft+ Mr.McGrory played Karl the giant in the critically acclaimed movie Big Fish, he was a giant with a calm heart, it is unfortunate you have been taken from us, you were truly larger than life, and you were an excellent actor.

That was an excellent film, in large part to his warm presence. May better things await you on the other side, Mr. McGrory.

He was also in the HBO show "Carnivale" as well as many different children's movies. That's so sad. May he rest in peace.
