Echo Base LIVE add their latest guest ahead of their show on Saturday 20th October at the Kingfisher Shopping Centre in Redditch. Joining Bill Hargreaves and Cathy Munroe is Bossk actor Alan Harris.
Absolutely delighted to announce that our final bounty hunter guest is… Alan Harris – Bossk In A New Hope, Harris portrayed Leia’s Rebel Escort, as well as a Rebel mechanic in the war room in a separate scene.
Harris also portrayed a Stormtrooper.
In The Empire Strikes Back, Harris was cast as Merril and later Bossk. Harris also played a Stormtrooper on Cloud City. Harris’ only onscreen appearance in Return of the Jedi was portraying a Stormtrooper again. Behind the scenes, Harris doubled for Anthony Daniels inside the C-3PO costume from The Empire Strikes Back onto Return of the Jedi, and also had the Boba Fett costume made around him and body molded for the carbonite block of Han Solo.
Due to C-3PO and Bossk occupying the same scenes during Return of the Jedi, the role of Bossk was handed off to Trevor Butterfield while Harris stood in for Daniels’ for lighting.
On short notice, Harris returned to the saga to double as Terence Stamp in The Phantom Menace due to Harris’ resemblance to the actor.
Be sure to visit the event at Kingfisher, Redditch on the 20th October.
Alan will be joined by his fellow bounty hunters Bill Hargreaves (IG-88) and Cathy Munroe (Vintage 4-LOM)
