Tom “Tiny” Lister died recently at the age of 62. The actor and wrestler made a mark on pop culture and will be missed.
Wrestling fans will remember Tom as Zeus…the bad guy from the movie No Holds Barred who took on Hulk Hogan. Lister then took that momentum and actually worked in the WWE for a period.
Following that, “Tiny” played a great role as Deebo in the classic flick Friday. Tom also delivered great performances in small but impactful roles in The Dark Knight, The Fifth Element, and Little Nicky.
He’ll sorely be missed! RIP, “Tiny”. Check out some of his best moments below.
