Actor Born: July 14, 1952 in Chicago, IL Biography:"Stan Shaw" played "Big George" in "Fried Green Tomatoes" (1991), a none-too-surprising casting choice as the towering African American actor could never, ever play "little" anyone. Shaw's first film role was baseball player Esquire Joe, a Jackie Robinson type, in "The Bingo Long Travelling All-Stars and Motor Kings" (1976). Interestingly enough, when the TNT cable service produced "The Court Martial of Jackie Robinson" in 1990, Shaw was cast as yet another barrier-breaking sports icon, boxer Joe Louis. Stan Shaw's other TV credits include the part of lawyer Lafayette Tate on the 1983 series The Mississippi and guest-starring roles on such series as "Murder, She Wrote", "L.A. Law" and "Starsky and Hutch". Shaw's theater work includes an NAACP Image Award winning performance in Home. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
