I hope he got to see Boba Fett's glorious return before passing. RIP. It's very weird timing, like Uktimate Warriors promo before he died, or Biggie's last album being Life After Death, or Cliff Burton's last album having a graveyard on the cover, etc.

I never met him, but online I see nothing but nice things from those who did. Seems like he was a terrific guy To the best of my knowledge he was the most fan friendly of autograph signers, as far as fans who sent items through the mail. Most charged through websites or didn't sign at all but Jeremy would send you a signed postcard and a typed letter, signed. He would occasionally send a small handwritten note. There is an awesome photo I saw that a guy took at a convention with Jeremy, David, Kenny and Peter with all guys standing next to life size standups of their characters. One guy said he would do the photo, then blanked on the guy until he eventually caught up with him and told him that all other guys agreed to it. I think it was either David or Peter but not 100% sure. It sounds more like Peter than David but for some reason I think it was David. I would love to see that photo again. There's another amazing photo I saw where all four guys were in costume except for their heads and all four guys signed it. It was pretty unique compared to a lot of the same images you see. I liked the original three SW movies so I was always excited to get an autograph. I got Jeremy, Warwick and Kenny through mail for free and met Warwick and David in person. I didn't even know it was David until I saw his table tag but I was so excited. My friend Todd (Sunny's TODD) got my Carrie autographs from a convention. This jogged my memory---I got his autograph through the mail years ago, signed Boba Fett card and a short letter. Completely forgot about it. I got quite a few others around the same time. Kenny Baker, Ray Park and James Earl Jones, notably. Cant believe I forgot about getting Jeremy Bullochs. Top guy. I hear most of the cast are pretty good to fans. I havent met any in person myself, unfortunately

I met him at comic book store opening somewhere in south Jersey, wanna say fall 98 or early 99. Anyway, I was a dorky kid who had on one of those ridiculous Boba Fett tshirts, like the whole shirt was made to look like his helmet, I cringe when I think about it, but my mom took me to the signing and had bought me the shirt just for this.
So as Im feeling stupid standing in line to get my POTF2 figure signed, I get up there and he gave a warm smile and a handshake and says “Wow, I like ya shirt” and Im all um, ya thanks and he just kept on “nah I mean it, its really cool”, and then autographed the figure “To (Heeltown) Stay Cool, Jeremy Bulloch”
Glad to hear my experience with him was the norm. Sounds like he was a nice guy through and through.

The 1st 4 SW celebs I ever met were at SDCC 2001. Bulloch, Mayhew, Baker and Prowse. .....the first group of Star Wars people I ever met are all gone now. First Vader, now Boba Fett. Time for a Star Wars themed bunker? Um, where you been since 1983? Also, no. Those have a tendency to, um, blow up.

I always felt he looked like he really could be Boba Fett under the helmet. This guy, not so much
