Home PageHi all! I was one of the major puppeteers on Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and like many others gained experience from the legendary Jim Henson. I am best known for my three Star Wars characters: Admiral Ackbar , Salacious B. Crumb and Sy Snootles. Here is how it all happened…and more… |
It was during the
break that Mr. Marquand came over and sat next to Salacious Crumb. He
liked talking to him although he very rarely would talk directly to me.
He couldn't as I was buried under the set with my arm stuck up though a
hole in the floor.

And some of my favourites.... |
I am very proud of my
work on Howard the Duck. Although Tadeusz Krzanowski and I were only
brought in three weeks before the start of filming to "fix things," and
it was too late to do anything about the design of the duck, the
amount of movement that we got out of the animatronics was very good. Here was an animatronic character that was operating in the real world and staring in the movie. You must remember this was before Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or the other big Animatronic films – |
P.S.I have been told that I am one of the few Star Wars autograph guests who "prints" my name, instead of a cursive signature. There are two reasons for this. The first is I am left handed and my cursive writing is like chicken scratches. The second is, I hate when people show me a photo they have paid for and it is impossible to tell who signed it!
