The actor who portrays Halloween's Michael Myers will be a Halloween guest on Hard Rock Nights October 23-29, 2009.

Daryl Karolat, stage name, Tyler Mane, is an actor and former professional wrestler. He is also known for playing Michael Myers in the Rob Zombie films Halloween and Halloween II.

Mane began his wrestling career with WCW in 1989 as "Nitro," the bodyguard for Woman. This gimmick did not last long, and he soon went to Puerto Rico's World Wrestling Council.

After retiring from wrestling Mane appeared in numerous films, including How to Make a Monster, Joe Dirt, The Scorpion King, Troy, Hercules, X-Men as Sabretooth, The Devil's Rejects as Rufus and The Punisher.

In 2007 Mane filmed Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween, in which he played the iconic starring role of Michael Myers. After winning the role, he noted that he consecutively watched seven of the eight Halloween films (excluding the third because Michael Myers does not appear) to better understand his character.

Tyler Mane is the tallest actor (6' 8") to portray the character. In 2009 he reprised the role again in Rob Zombie's H2, becoming only the second actor to play Michael Myers more than once.
