RIP Darth Vader and The Green Cross Code Man

One and the same, David Prowse, sadly has left the building at 85.

Yet another part of our youth gone forever. ��

RIP Dave Prowse, a hero of mine, especially after meeting him aged 10 at the height of Star Wars fever in 1977. :(

He came to my school, as the Green Cross Code man rather than Darth.

:)

RIP

I thought he died years ago. Would have been interesting if he’d done the voice too. “Im your fath-er, and I drink ci-der!”

Was lucky enough to have met him in a café in Worthing. I have a signed photo and signed Vader helmet among other things.
RIP

I've had his son in my spare bed. A giant of a man. My friend met him at the David Prowse gym SE1 and she now lives in Margate with him baking cakes.

Should have never had James Earl Jones do the Vader voice, a West Country Darth would have been special...

It would’ve been brilliant.

The merged thread title needs to also acknowledge his role as Patrick Magee’s Muscle Mary in A Clockwork Orange.

I met him in 1970’s when he came to my primary school as the Green Cross Code man - I was 5 years old at the time - still remember it clearly. He was a giant of a man!! Very sad RIP David Prowse

Can anyone remember the celebrity’s who did the Green Cross Code public information films?

I can recall Alvin Stardust, Joe Bugner and Kevin Keegan but were there any more?
