You were the man in Darth Vader's attire, but your sturdy frame suited other towering roles, as well.
In fact, you portrayed the Frankenstein Monster in "Casino Royale '67" and twice for Hammer Studios in "Horror of Frankenstein" and "Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell". In addition, you muscled your way into Hammer's "Vampire Circus" and costarred in Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange".
On the sidelines, you were the guiding Green Cross Code Man to Britain's youths, and to bodybuilder enthusiasts, an everlasting icon. You even trained Christopher Reeve to get in tip-top shape as the Man of Steel.
Above all, you were loyal and grateful to your fans, Mr. Prowse: a mighty big man with a mighty big heart.
