David Prowse
David Prowse was a British actor and bodybuilder best known for his role as Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy. Standing at 6 feet 6 inches, Prowse's imposing physique made him a perfect fit for the iconic villain, although his voice was later replaced by James Earl Jones in post-production. Prowse's performance brought a physicality to the character that has left a lasting impact on popular culture. In recent news, he was mentioned following the sale of a lightsaber used by him in the Star Wars films, which became the most valuable Star Wars memorabilia ever sold at auction.
