GOODBYE, JEREMY BULLOCH...

Your claim to supreme fame came as Boba Fett in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi", but your persona was visible beyond "Star Wars", in a long, distinguished career that encompassed both big and small screens. 

For one, you had recurring roles in "The Newcomers" and "Billy Bunter of Greyfriars School", as well as supporting parts on two, superb episodes of "Doctor Who": "The Space Museum" and "The Time Warrior".

On the theatrical circuit, you entered "A Night To Remember"; "The Devil's Agent"; "Spare the Rod"; "The Idol"; "Play it Cool"; "The Virgin and the Gypsy"; "Mary, Queen of Scots"; "Carry On Teacher"; "Summer Holiday"; "O Lucky Man!"; "Can You Keep it Up for a Week?"; "Escape from the Dark"; "Comic Book: the Movie"; and the 007 extravaganzas, "Octopussy", "For Your Eyes Only" and "The Spy Who Loved Me". 

From villain to hero and back again, you never let your fans down, Mr. Bulloch: a pop-cultural titan whose indelible spark will no doubt continue to beam far into the future.
