André the Giant (May 19, 1946 - Jan 27, 1993), was a French-American professional wrestler and actor. His best-remembered acting role was that of Fezzik, the giant in the film The Princess Bride. His size was a result of gigantism and led to his being called "The Eighth Wonder of the World". Standing at a towering 7 ft 4 in, Andre was a sight to behold in both the ring and on film.
