Eddie Carmel

Eddie Carmel was born on Mar 16, 1935 in Palestine [now Israel]. Eddie Carmel's big-screen debut came with The Brain That Wouldn't Die directed by Joseph Green in 1962, strarring Monster.

Eddie Carmel's abnormal growth started when he was a teenager. He suffered from acromegaly because of a pituitary gland tumor that was incurable at the time. As an adult, the only work he could find involved exploiting his freakishness. With his best friend, Irwin Sherman, they worked together as stand-up comedians in New York.
