New York Daily News - Entertainment - 'Big Fish' gentle giant Matthew McGrory, 32
LOS ANGELES - Matthew McGrory, the 32-year-old 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 the Tim Burton film "Big Fish," has died.
McGrory died Tuesday at his home in 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.
McGrory, who had size-29 1/2 shoes, appeared on Stern's show in the 1990s and received other attention from the media even before he became an actor. His family and girlfriend declined comment.
