Tyler Mane, born Daryl Karolat, is a Canadian actor and former professional wrestler. He began wrestling for WCW in 1989 as Nitro, the bodyguard for Woman. This gimmick did not last long, and he soon went to Puerto Rico's World Wrestling Council. He also wrestled for All Japan Pro Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling before returning to the United States to wrestle briefly in the Global Wrestling Federation. Mane then returned to WCW in 1993 as Big Sky, where he was managed by Woman and Sal Conte. Mane retired from wrestling in 1996.

After retiring from wrestling, he appeared in numerous films, including How to Make a Monster (as Hardcore), Joe Dirt, The Scorpion King, Troy (as Ajax), Hercules (as Antaeus), X-Men (as Sabretooth) and The Devil's Rejects (in the uncredited role of Rufus). Ironically, the role of Sabretooth was initially intended for Mane's former wrestling tag team partner, Kevin Nash, but was awarded to Mane due to Nash's scheduling conflicts.

In 2007, he filmed Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween, in which he plays the iconic starring role of Michael Myers. After winning the role, he said that he consecutively watched seven of the eight Halloween films (excluding the third because Michael Myers does not appear) to better understand his character. He is the tallest actor (6' 8") to portray the character. He was sometimes billed as being 6' 9" and 6' 10" in the wrestling business.
