I just saw him in Indianapolis for Celebration III when he was signing for Star Wars...I was working for the event its so hard to think that he is dead now.... I also remember seeing him at the airport out....

My condolences to his family.

It's strange that I cannot place him
He was on Dr. Who, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars.
Quite a fun career.

3. He was Admiral Ozzel in SW
He was memorably choked by Darth Vader - and said George Lucas told him it was "the best screen death I've ever seen".
