David Prowse, the British actor best known for playing Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died. He was 85. His agent Thomas Bowington announced on Sunday. Bowington posted on Facebook "It's with great sadness that we have to announce that our client Dave Prowse... passed away yesterday morning at the age of 85," Prowse's death was 'a truly and deeply heart-wrenching loss for us and millions of fans all over the world,' he added. A former body-builder-turned-actor, Prowse's towering stature at almost 6.5 feet clinched him the role of the menacing antagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy. But while he donned the glossy black armour and cape, the Bristol native's strong western English accent meant the filmmakers turned to James Earl Jones for the chilling voice that would emerge from behind the mask. Since the original Star Wars trilogy was released in the late 1970s and early 80s, Prowse had travelled the world, meeting hardcore fans.
