SO LONG, TOMMY "TINY" LISTER...

One thing's for certain, Mr. Lister: You were anything but "tiny", as your Olympian portrayal of Zeus proved a hundredfold in the WWF. 

And you were just as imposing when you introduced the character in the Hulk Hogan epic, "No Holds Barred". 

In addition to Zeus, you gave equally mammoth characterizations in "The Dark Knight"; "The Fifth Element", "Austin Powers: Goldmember"; "Barb Wire"; "Monster Ark"; "Dracula 3000"; "Santa's Slay"; "Vegas Vampires"; "Little Nicky"; "The Human Centipede 3"; "Prison"; "8 Million Ways to Die"; "Trespass"; "Jackie Brown"; "Zootopia"; "Think Big"; "Don Juan DeMarco"; "Soulkeeper"; "Beverly Hills Cop II"; "Extreme Prejudice"; "Super Capers"; "Men of War"; "The Set-up"; "Armed and Dangerous"; "Never Die Alone"; "One Night with the King"; "K-11"; the "Friday" franchise; and as the mighty Klingon, Klaang on "Star Trek: Enterprise". 

Alas, you left us far too soon, Mr. Lister, but your contributions will continue to leave a living-breathing mark on all who see them.
