Same here. Met him at a convention around 2010. He was clearly in pain and was drowsy from the painkillers he was on, but he took the time to greet every fan with a smile. I told him that nobody scared the crap out of me as a kid and made me laugh so hard as an adult like he did. He took my hand and laughed. I'm a big guy myself, 6'3" and 250lbs., but his absolutely engulfed mine. Absolutely wonderful man.

He sent me a short letter in 90 or 91 with his picture when I was a soldier taking part in operation Desert Storm over in the Persian gulf. Lived next door to my Aunt in CA I guess and she asked him to. Don't know how I got to this video, it was just there so I clicked on it.

What a lovely guy!!! As a kid he was for me one of the scariest characters on TV/film, together with Lou Ferrigno as Hulk... I'd excitedly look forward to seeing them, yet I would have to hide under the sofa as soon as they appeared in a scene, watch them with my eyes half covered by my hands😂

He was cast as the Hulk and eventually replaced by Ferrigno.

I've only really seen Richard, Andre the Giant and The Big Show, in any lengthy interviews where they really opened up as for as Giants are concerned. Each one of them also have Giant senses of humor. How ironic.....the man who looks like he can chew you into two pieces can have you bent over laughing in two pieces. Great Guy!!
