RIP Matthew McGrory...

Hey guys, it's Donnie...This is one of those things that you hear and it just instantly makes you sad. Matthew McGrory played a number on fantastic roles, but he's probably best known as Karl The Giant in Tim Burton's Big Fish. He passed away of natural causes in his home on Tuesday. People have been coming out of the woodwork to talk about what a tremendously wonderful person he was and I have no doubt that he was everything they say and more. Perhaps the saddest part of the story is that he was in the middle of filming a biopic about Andre The Giant, which I'm sure would have been incredible to see.

A friend of his has put up this tribute site to Matthew, and it's rather touching, particularly the large picture of him on the bottom half of the page. Click it here to pay your respects...

Here's to another talent who went before his time...
