RIP Darth Prowse, you will be missed. 🙁

Heard about this earlier. Sad.

I couldn’t help but smile though; the link I read it on said the name of his (2011) autobiography was “Straight from The Force’s Mouth”. That is just superb.

R.I.P. Lord Vader

You were such greatness, Mr. Prowse

Nooooooo, he won't be there when I cross the road.

Wish I could say I knew more about him but all I know is that he played as Darth Vader in the original SW trilogy (which was and still is the best), except for Vader's voice of course.

He played Green Cross Man...

...for decades. Taught English kids about crossing the street and general road safety.
He helped train Christopher Reeves for Superman, had parts in things like A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Who and Vampire Circus. He was a bodybuilder and strongman. Interesting guy, it looks like.

Thanks for that info.

RIP
