[on playing Boba Fett in
El imperio contraataca (1980)] I was aware of Star Wars...my half brother Robert Watts was associate producer and he said, "It's going very well, why don't you get your agent onto this; there's a small part, probably a couple of days, but it'd be fun for you to do." I was in a play down at Leatherhead and I said, "When does the filming start?". He said, "Tomorrow." It was that quick. So the agent said to go down, I was seen and I got dressed in the costume. I was taken on to set where they were doing the Wampa - the big snow creature - and I thought "This is incredible!". I was in with the helmet on, walking around and I finally stopped in front of George Lucas and he said, "Well, yeah, uh huh, mm-hmm, okay. Welcome aboard, it's not a big role but I think you'll have some fun." I thought, "Is he talking to me or someone behind me?". So, I was turning my head and just looking and then was sort of...eased off the set.
