Memphis lore holds that Elvis Aron Presley’s penis was in the \>10-inch range. Ed Sullivan is said to have remarked after The Big E’s first TV appearance that he must have some sort of “appliance” in his pants, because no man could be that big. ---

In the documentary _Crumb_, I seem to remember Crumb’s ex-wife (I believe) saying that his unit was “one of the largest in the world”. ---

Look, I’m just going by what was mentioned about the picture. Whether it’s what it appears to be, that’s for everyone to decide. Oh, and [EwanMcGregor.Net](http://www.ewanmcgregor.net) is always good for “research” on this particular topic. ---

Not sure about that particular scene but he did fly his flag so to speak in the prison intake scene, and I believe he also showed his junk in _If_. ---

It was an ex-girlfriend, Dian Hansen, a self-described “career pornographer”, which would seem to make her opinion carry all the more weight. > [@Baldwin](#): > > In the documentary _Crumb_, I seem to remember Crumb’s ex-wife (I believe) saying that his unit was “one of the largest in the world”. ---

Whoever that is in the photo, that’s not Roddy McDowell. I’ve seen swimsuit photos of Roddy McDowell, and this fellow in the picture has more musculature in his abs than Roddy had in his entire body. ---

That McDowell pic doesn’t look quite real. That said, now I know why Cornelius was always walking around hunched over like that. \ I’ve heard stories about Patrick Stewart. And, as a huge Sarek fan, I couldn’t help but notice an odd ridgelike object under his nightshirt as he lay on the Vulcan bed in ‘Unification Part I’. Nice…long…ridge. He was barefoot (first time we ever saw Sarek less than impeccable) and I’ve always wondered since what else Mark Lenard wasn’t wearing under there… ---

I’ve seen swimsuit photos of Roddy McDowell, and this fellow in the picture has more musculature in his abs than Roddy had in his entire body. It’s not at all uncommon for actors to tone up or tone down as a role replies. Brendan Fraser, for example, has been flabby in some of his movies and solid muscle in others. For a real extreme check out a shirtless Christian Bale in [The Machinist](http://photos1.blogger.com/img/164/1912/320/bilde.jpg) and in [American Psycho](http://www3.sympatico.ca/stewy1/2000/ampsycho.jpg).
