Golddalek Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Did not know that..Indeed sad. I believe I read somewhere David Prowse was Christopher Reeves' physical trainer when he was trying out for the role of Superman. My condolences.

Kanaan Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Met David Prowse and Jeremy Bulloch (the original Boba Fett) at many SF cons and autograph shows over the years. They were always wonderful to the fans and a joy to chat with. Sad to lose them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
