George McArthur(I)

  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
George "The Giant" has been performing professionally since 1991. To date, he has been seen in amusement parks such as Universal Studios and Knott's Berry Farm, publications ranging from "The Globe" and "The National Enquirer" to "Esquire Magazine," and television shows including "Touched By An Angel," local news programs, and even national talk shows. The Giant has toured the U.S. and Canada performing at colleges, night clubs, street fairs, and Renaissance festivals.

At the age of twelve George saw his first sword swallower and fire eater doing things he was told the human body could not do. He was not happy with this explanation. He knew what he saw. So with research and a burning desire to learn, he taught himself how to perform these feats of daring. George is now one of the few sword swallowers in the world. It has been said that George "The Giant" is one of the most complete side show performers around today... and the tallest!
