Dave Prowse: Darth Vader actor dies aged 85

Dave Prowse, the Bristolian former bodybuilder best known for playing Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died aged 85.

Prowse was cast as Vader for his imposing physique, even though the role was voiced by James Earl Jones.

But the weightlifter-turned-actor was most proud of playing the Green Cross Code Man. The role, promoting road safety in the UK, earned him an MBE.

Rest in peace, Dave. The Force will be with you, always. 😢

To the world, he was the evil Darth Vader, but to me and many in the UK of my generation, he was the hero of the road, the Green Cross Code Man and he helped us stay safe when crossing the road!

 

Rest in peace, sir!
