Star Wars might be the most mainstream franchise he's known for, but folks around this board might also remember his work in Flash Gordon and Time Bandits, among others.

Sad day.

Seemed like a good guy. Rest well, sir.
	Well anyway, hi there, folks. You know, I'd been having trouble with velvet leaf, uh, cutworm and, uh, foxtail and, well, that's when the representative from Monsanto came out to my farm. He recommended a pre-emergent, inferral mixture of Lorsban with Atrazine in a tank mix and I told him to get off my land. - Farmer Joel

I enjoyed him as the lovable Fidgit from Time Bandits. Terry Gilliam left a beautiful and heartfelt post on Facebook about his only hero role and how much he loved working with him.
