There have been fat actors in the movies--Laird Cregar, Sydney Greenstreet, Raymond Burr, William Conrad, John Goodman, and lots of others--but I haven't seen any who were full-on "600 Pound Life" monstrous.

he's still pretty fat, and i think he lost weight too from where he was a few years ago. so not sure why people are complaining. they definitely cast a fat guy.
