Apparently, the role he was most proud of was the Green Cross Code man, in a series of road safety ads.

A great actor.

I'd forgotten that he played the bodyguard in A Clockwork Orange.

Just read that the UK government tried to get him off the first star wars giving the reason that an evil character could impact on his green cross code ads.

They obviously failed

I remember hearing the actor that was in the custom for Darth Vader and thinking his accent sounded British. Did a YouTube search and found the clip I heard him on too:

|n American films, the baddie always has a British accent. It's just one of their conventions.

Does that mean that a future bio-pic of Trump will utilize a British actor?

They missed a chance to buy in to it.

Well since nobody had any idea who the F was inside the Darth Vader costume, and since it wasn't even his voice, I can't see any issue really. A bit like saying some who "played" a dalek would be typecast forever.

Apparently it was Covid that killed him.
