Paul Donald Wight II, more popular by his ring name, Big Show, is an American actor and professional wrestler currently affiliated with the RAW brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). A native of South Carolina, he was doing odd jobs when he met Danny Bonaduce, who later introduced him to Hulk Hogan. Wight’s in-ring presence deeply impressed Hogan who mentioned his name to several of his colleagues, including World Championship Wrestling Vice President Eric Bischoff. In 1995, he made his professional wrestling debut in WCW under the ring name, The Giant. During his tenure in the promotion, he became part of the New World Order (nWo) stable, which virtually controlled the WCW content in the late 1990s. In February 1999, Wight left WCW for their biggest competitor, World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and adopted the ring name ‘Big Show.’ In the ensuing years, Big Show emerged as one of the most successful and influential professional wrestlers in the history of sports entertainment. He has been the WCW World Heavyweight Champion twice, the WWF/WWE Champion twice, WWE's World Heavyweight Champion twice and the ECW World Heavyweight Champion once. Wight made his debut as an actor in the 1996 release ‘Reggie's Prayer’ and has since appeared in various other films, including ‘The Waterboy’, ‘MacGruber’, and ‘Countdown.’
