On a 2001 episode of Queer as Folk , Emmett (Peter Paige) decides that he wants to become "ex-gay." To dissuade him from this crazy idea, his friends arrange for him to be visited by adult video performer Zack O'Tool, played by the super-sized-in-every-way Matthew G. Taylor (left).
Although this is definitely a prosthetic.
Born in Burlington, Ontario, in 1973, Matt worked as a police officedr and martial artist before the acting bug hit.
Among his other early roles:
Legendary strongman Eugene Sandow in a 1998 biopic of Thomas Edison,
A bushy-haired thug in Detroit Rock City (1999)
Medoc in The Skulls (2001), about an Ivy League secret society.

Matt's most famous role is probably Nemesis, a "huge, overpowering monster" in Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004). His instagram is full of selfies that fans wanted to take with him at horror conventions.
He went on to play more man-mountain characters:
Boxer Primo Carnera in Cinderella Man (2005).
A Giant in Boondock Saints II (2009)
Shackles, an "uncontrollable monster with freakish strength" on the teen adventure series Aaron Stone (2010).
A character called "Man Mountain Guard" on Lost Girl (2011).
More man mountains after the break

The guard Mondragon in The Immortals (2011), featuring Greek gods who wear ridiculous helmets in a story about a tyrant who wants to rule the world. Pictured: Steve Byers (Hercules) and Kellan Lutz (Poseidon)
Behomoth, the leader of a scavenger gang on a distant planet in the sci-fi series Killjoys (2015-19).
Guardian 2 in The Umbrella Academy (2022). Guardians are "samurai filled with cockroaches."
A soldier in the postapocalyptic See (2022). Dude likes his science fiction.
Matt's "freakishly huge monsters" aren't necessary written as gay -- Hollywood prefers lithe, wispy femme dudes -- but they also don't express much heterosexual interest, and they spend a lot of time hanging out with or threatening men. So we can find lots of subtexts.

I can't tell if he's gay in real life, since his Instagram contains nothing but photos of his fan conventions and his dog, and the Who's Dating Who website has no information on any relationships, but there are several nude photos online. This one doesn't look much like him.
This one does. Apparently dude did some gay porn in the old days.
This one looks more like Dan Cudmore.
