Dave Prowse. Big dude - all around big dude.  When I'm feeling nostalgic I enjoy watching him in his other starring role as the Green Cross Code Man...

Poor b4stard's west country accent was dubbed out of these too...

Prowse was a legit big dude. Like 6'5ft or something?

Also appeared in this classic Benny Hill sketch.

I met him at an early 80's at a Sci-Fi convention.  He was a very imposing man back then, but a very, very nice guy.  About 6'9" tall with the Vader suit and boots on.  He loves the SW fans.  His age and declining health have caused him to stop making personal appearances.  

Dave's history of training and competing:
