David Prowse is a bodybuilder and actor who famously portrayed the role of Darth Vader in ''Star Wars (film)'', ''The Empire Strikes Back'', and ''Return of the Jedi''. Unlike most of the other ''Star Wars'' stars, however, he is relatively obscure, since James Earl Jones dubbed Vader's voice and Sebastian Shaw (actor) portrayed an unmasked Vader (in ''Return of the Jedi''). Prowse lives anonymously in Croydon, a suburb of London.
