I’m surprised he didn’t die of dementia from heading the ball like that.

I wonder where @loofkar has been recently...

He’s been ill for some time. I was supposed to go to a dinner where he and other Star Wars alumni were present a couple of years ago but he was too poorly at the time (I dined with the chap who made the original Stormtrooper armour & sculpted the Helmet for Darth Vader though)

I met Dave a few times and once spent a week with him driving around Europe in a minibus.

A genuinely nice guy. RIP.

Noooooooooo.

He has safely crossed over to the other side.

Wonder if he gave in to the temptation of seeing how his light sabre worked ?

I find his lack of vital signs disturbing.

As a child, I did meet Prowse as he was touring schools in his role as the Green Cross Code Man. Being from a good school (Protestant Glasgow) we weren't really interested in a muscly man in a tight green and white outfit, but he had this little trick he would do to children that wouldn't be allowed anymore. If you shook his hand, his thumb would press on a pressure point on top of your hand and you'd get a shock of pain. Now, being seven-year old sadists, we hurried to queue up to meet him. We all enjoyed that for some reason.

What?
On School kids?
Get yourself sorted man.

So you thought you were sadists, but were actually masochists. Pah, the educational standards of Weegie infants!

We were sadists, we used that knowledge to torture the pupils from the bad schools. We were seven or eight year olds at the time.

That’s a shame. Always remember the clip of him as Vader speaking with a Brissle accent before James Earl Jones voice was dubbed over.
RIP Dave.

 

[pc flaps]

RIP Dave Prowse. I'll always treasure his appearance in Hitchikers as Hotblack Desiato's bodyguard. His Brissle accent comes right out when he lifts Ford Prefect off the floor.

Not surprised. They let him on stage with them at a gig somewhere long ago in a galaxy far... Wait wrong franchise.

Edit.
