About Max Palmer
American Actor, Wrestler. Born in Pontotoc, Mississippi, Max Palmer was a giant. He was said to be seven foot seven inches, but was measured at his death eight foot two and needed a nine foot coffin. His career began due to his height. He started out on a professional basketball team known as the Rochester Royals. Then after being discovered by Fritz Blocki, an ex-Chicago newspaper man, he began acting. His acting started in 1952 and ended about 1955. He starred in "Invaders from Mars", "Killer Ape", and "The Big Bluff". He also had guest appearances in shows like "Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis Comedy Hour", "Spade Cooley Show", and "The Jimmy Durante Show". He left the acting career because of his height. There were only certain movies he could be in, and did not want to be considered a monster. He then started wrestling about 1955, and was known as Paul Bunyan. In 1962 he left the wrestling career and became an evangelist and preached all over the US. He was known as Goliath for Christ. He preached until his death in 1984.
