I think it was either in the audio commentary or the Lorerunner review of Princess Bride, but Andre had a back problems that was wrecking him through production of the movie.

I also vaguely recall his gas problems had some earth shattering gas passing during production as well

"One indication that the group was going to jell came on the first day, Elwes said, when wrestler Andre the Giant, who played Fezzik in the movie, "let out a 16 second fart and brought production to a standstill." "It could be heard three counties away," Elwes said with a laugh. "Nobody said anything except Rob, who said 'Are you OK, Andre?' and André replied, 'I am now, boss.' "

Oh! I couldn’t tell which character he was. The costumes are just so good.

He would have been an excellent Princess Buttercup

Director: "...Are you alright Andre?"

Andre: "I am now boss."
