Actor Jeremy Bulloch died today.  He was 75.

Mr. Bulloch was famous among fans for his portrayal of Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.  While his voice was dubbed over, the character's largely restrained presence with careful, deliberate movements made the job of a man-in--a-suit into a a bonus career.  After his stint in a galaxy far, far away he also toured around the world at fan conventions as part of the "Men Behind the Masks" tour with the likes of David Prowse, Warwick Davis, and others.   He even came out to Arizona to do a few shows, and I have a signed figure from him.

David Prowse - best known to our community as Darth Vader in the original Star Wars Trilogy, has passed away. He was 85.  

Mr. Prowse was a pop culture staple, showing up in the BBC The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV show as Hotblack Desiato's bodyguard, plus roles in numerous films like A Clockwork Orange, various Hammer Horror pictures, and more.   You can read more at The Hollywood Reporter and also his Wikipedia page.   Many of us got to see him as part of the "Men Behind the Masks" touring group at conventions in the 1990s, where he signed for fans all over the USA.
