James Denis Turner (born April 17, 1953) is a former American football guard in the National Football League (NFL) for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. He played college football at Duke University before joining the Charlotte Hornets in the World Football League (WFL) in 1975 as a defensive tackle and, in 1985, the Jacksonville Bulls of the United States Football League (USFL).
Turner played the role of the Even Bigger Black Guy in the movie Trading Places (1983), which starred Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. His character repeatedly utters the word 'Yeah' in a tone described by The New York Times as 'deeper than deep' to Billy Ray Valentine, played by Murphy, while imprisoned in a jail cell.[1]

"At the end of the New York premiere of the comedy Trading Places this week, Turner was credited with portraying a character identified only as 'Even Bigger Black Guy.'... The feelings are punctuated by Turner, the even bigger black guy, who following each threat, says: 'Yeah.' The voice, deeper than deep, seems to erupt from somewhere around his belly button."
Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
