Henry Hite
Henry Hite (May 1, 1915 – May 26, 1978) born Henry Marion Mullens, was an American actor, stage performer, media personality and spokesperson who was well known for making personal appearances promoting the Corn King brand (Wilson Certified Meats trade-name) as the "Corn King Giant", and for the occasional movie that would capitalize on his height.

At age 18, he changed his name to 'Hite' and partnered with 'Lowe' (Roland Picaro), to form a Vaudeville act, later as "Lowe, Hite and Stanley" which included the midget Stanley Ross. Hite's stage career ended in 1962 following the death of Ross.
