Spencer Wilding (MegaCon 2017)

in #starwars7 years ago (edited)

It turns out that Spencer Wilding is from Wales and like David Prowse (and Peter Mayhew for that matter) he is quite tall at 6'6" (the same exact height as David Prowse incidentally but a little shorter than Peter Mayhew's 7'3"). While Darth Vader is perhaps his most famous role thus far, he has been in a number of other movies that most people would recognize.

Among other roles, Spencer Wilding has been a guard in Guardians of the Galaxy, several different creatures in Doctor Who, a Knight of Hogwarts and a werewolf in Harry Potter, a White Walker in Game of Thrones and other similar roles in Batman Begins, Eragon, Stardust, The Golden Compass, Ghost Rider and others. In part because of his size, he often plays the roles of various creatures when a human actor is necessary and/or does stunts.

It's always interesting to go to these actor panels, regardless of how familiar you are with the actor. There are almost always interesting stories that are told or interesting questions that are answered.
