Biography

George "The Giant" has been a professional performer since 1991, accumulating an impressive array of credits that span multiple decades and platforms. His extensive resume includes appearances at renowned amusement parks such as Universal Studios and Knott's Berry Farm, as well as publications ranging from reputable sources like "The Globe" and "The National Enquirer" to esteemed periodicals like "Esquire Magazine". Television appearances have also been a hallmark of his career, with credits including the popular drama series "Touched By An Angel", local news programs, and even high-profile national talk shows.

Beyond his work in traditional entertainment venues, George "The Giant" has also toured extensively throughout the United States and Canada, performing at a diverse range of settings, including colleges, night clubs, street fairs, and Renaissance festivals.

As a young boy, George was fascinated by the feats of daring he witnessed when he was just twelve years old, observing a sword swallower and fire-eater perform seemingly impossible stunts. Unsatisfied with the explanation that the human body was incapable of such actions, George was driven to learn more, and through diligent research and a burning desire to master these skills, he taught himself how to perform these death-defying stunts.

Today, George "The Giant" is one of the few sword swallowers in the world, earning a reputation as one of the most complete and accomplished side show performers of his generation – and, of course, the tallest!
