Movie Clips

John Aasen's first movie was as the giant "Collossus" in the Harold Lloyd feature Why Worry? released in 1923.

 

 

 

He had a small cameo role in the 1928 Laurel and Hardy movie Should Married Men Go Home, where he throws Stan Laurel in a mud hole.

 

 

 

 

In 1936 he had a role as the Circus Giant in Charlie Chan at the Circus. This is a "talking" movie where he says a few words. It was stated earlier in this Web site that he had a high-pitched voice. This clip belies that assertion.
