Too short to detect whether or not there's a West Country accent. And he's not in a big costume. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not having your voice heard doesn't mean you're not acting. Marlee Matlin won an Oscar for a non-speaking part in Children of a Lesser God (both the actor and character are deaf). And of course, the entire film industry was non-speaking actors before the 1930s. As Darth Vader: in a big suit, face unseen, someone else doing the speaking. Hard to see what Prowse was for, other than filling the space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Does Lyn (can't recall her username) still post on here? She is from Bristol and would be able to redub the GXC adverts into Bristolian (albeit (presumably) with a higher pitched vocal).

Hard to see what Prowse was for, other than filling the space. I just read his wiki page and apparently he was replaced for light sabre fight scenes as well. I think he was just there to fill the suit and get the helmet at the right height. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 He would have made a good Chewbacca and he could've done the voice. He'd probably have been shite at driving the space ship though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
