"Star Wars" Actor David Prowse Has Cancer

I just found this out. David Prowse, the actor who wore the Darth Vader costume throughout the original "Star Wars" trilogy has prostate cancer. (Ouch!) He's undergoing treatment and he says he's doing fine. Here's hoping him the best. James Earl Jones may have provided us with Vader's kick-ass voice, but if it wasn't for David putting on the outfit, the character wouldn't be complete. (Sorry, Hayden.)

Here's the link to an article about it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1162628/Darth-Vader-ac...

That would be Sebastian Shaw

..and fuck Hayden Christensen...

Comment by Santos on March 17, 2009 at 2:00pm: They got another actor for that. Frankly, "who played Darth Vader?" is a question that you probably shouldn't ask a die-hard "Star Wars" fan because they won't just answer your question, they'll tell you a story.
