Character
Glen Mazzara on Big Tiny:


 * “Big Tiny is the muscle of the group. The idea was that all of these guys together are a formidable force. These are hardened convicts who have survived living together for almost a year, almost in the same way that Rick and his group have. So this is a surprising force for Rick to come up against. And they are formidable. And they are scary. And they are dangerous. Just as dangerous as Rick’s group.”

West Georgia Correctional Facility
Hardly anything is known about Big Tiny's life before the apocalypse. He was a convicted criminal being held in the prison, and he had a 15 year sentence. The only family member that has been mentioned by Big Tiny is his "moms".

Season 3
As the apocalypse began, a big rebellion started at the prison. Big Tiny, Tomas, Oscar, Andrew, and Axel were taken to the prison's cafeteria by a guard, they were locked in there as the guard went out to call for backup, but he never returned and the five prisoners spent the whole time locked inside the cafeteria for 10 months without knowing what was going on outside.

"Seed"
He was found after Daryl Dixon, Rick Grimes, Glenn, T-Dog, and Maggie break open the cafeteria's door to escape a large group of walkers. He witnessed the amputation of Hershel Greene's leg, along with the other trapped prisoners.

"Sick"
He is confused about what is going on, just like the other prisoners, and was shocked when Rick revealed to them about what happened to the world they knew, Big Tiny worries about his mother. When Tomas starts threatening Rick and his group, telling them to leave the prison, Big Tiny tries to be reasonable, saying that they can work things out peacefully. Along with Tomas, he agrees to give Rick's group half of their food in exchange of getting help cleaning one of the cell blocks for the prisoners live in. While they are killing walkers on the way to Cell Block B, Big Tiny is scratched by a walker's wrist-bone, possibly causing him to be infected. After being told that there was no way he could survive this, Tiny starts to panic, saying that he is "fine and nothing is going to happen", but ends up getting brutally murdered by Tomas, who repeatedly bashes in Tiny's head.

Killed By
While backing up from the group, a zombie breaks his hands from the cuffs and deeply scratches Tiny. While trying to convince Rick that his scratch didn't cause an infection, Big Tiny's head is brutally smashed in repeatedly by Tomas, who shows no remorse at all after murdering his partner.

Trivia

 * He is the first prison survivor, and human character to die in Season 3.
 * Big Tiny is one of the characters that did not speak in the episode he was introduced, the others being Shupert, Jim, Michonne, Eileen, Jimmy, Beth, Tomas, Andrew, Oscar, and Warren.
 * His name is an oxymoron.
 * It is possible Big Tiny wasn't even infected, as it was just a scratch. However, we never found out due to Tomas abruptly killing Big Tiny as soon as he revealed as he was scratched by a walker. But it's assumed that if Tomas had not abruptly killed Big Tiny he would have experienced the same unknown fate that Jim experienced in the first season.
