"Iron Talun" was his wrestling name. To me, he was my gentle giant uncle. He came to the US to wrestle. He traveled all over as the villain "Iron Talun". In early 50's he played "Goliath" in the Twentieth Century Fox movie "David and Goliath". He traveled the world promoting the movie. He was a good person. He was very scary when he came to visit during this movie days with his beard and mustache. He was over 7 ft. tall, wore a size 16 shoe and 50 shirt. He had a ring he wore that you could put a 50cent piece through. He was a giant of a man in every way.
