Dave Prowse: Difference between revisions

'''Dave Prowse''' (born '''David Charles Prowse'''<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/obituaries/dave-prowse-obituary-darth-vader-b1763434.html</ref> on [[1 July (people)|1 July]] [[1935 (people)|1935]]<ref>[https://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=14119 Aveleyman]</ref>, died [[28 November (people)|28 November]] [[2020 (people)|2020]]<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/nov/29/david-prowse-obituary The Guardian]</ref>) played the [[Minotaur]] in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' television story ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]''. Outside of ''Doctor Who'', the tall actor has a long resume of film and TV appearances, including playing no less than three different versions of [[Frankenstein's monster]] — two for Hammer films of the early 1970s, and once as a Boris Karloff-style monster in the 1967 spoof ''Casino Royale''. His best-known roles, however, were as the body (but not the voice) of [[Darth Vader]] in the first three ''[[Star Wars]]'' films, and as the Green Cross Man in a number of British safety PSAs.
