- Macon McCalman was born on December 30, 1932 in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He was an actor, known for Smokey and the Bandit (1977), Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (1991) and Deliverance (1972). He died on November 29, 2005 in Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
- Helped form the Front Street Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee.
- McCalman had retired from acting and returned to Memphis in 1997 after suffering a heart attack.
- During the Korean War, he served in the U.S. Army.
- Because McCalman was such a familiar character actor with such a huge range of credits, a May 2020 humor piece in The New Yorker magazine joked that one thing to do in the pandemic lockdown would be to watch the "Macon McCalman Retrospective." Unfortunately, there isn't one...so far.
