Carmen Nigro (October 10, 1905 – September 24, 1990) was an American chef who professed to have worked for three decades as a Hollywood stuntman under the professional name Ken Roady. From 1969 he gained notability through media interviews in which he announced he had acted in a gorilla suit in many Hollywood films, most famously as the title role in the 1933 classic King Kong.While Nigro's claims were accepted as fact by some journalists and authors during his lifetime, film historians generally have disputed his account, and regard him as an impostor.
