Noble Craig(1948-2018)

Noble Craig was a Vietnam war veteran and creature performer in a handful of horror and fantasy films. Noble was shipped off to Vietnam in 1969. On his 12th day of duty in Vietnam, Craig stepped on a buried artillery shell, which resulted in the loss of both his legs, one of his arms, and most of the sight in his right eye. Undaunted, Noble embarked on a brief acting career after returning to America. Craig made his film debut as Tim McGraw, the Snake Man in Sssssss: Silbido De Muerte (1973). Craig went on to play such memorably grotesque characters as the vomit creature in Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) and the sewer monster in Big Trouble in Little China (1986). Moreover, Noble was the kind of guy who lived life to the fullest: He not only engaged in such activities as scuba diving, water skiing, jumping from planes, and swimming in the ocean in both Hawaii and Costa Rica, but also was a hunter and a dancer. In addition, Craig raised five children and worked as a car, boat, and motorcycle mechanic. Noble died on April 26, 2018.
