I hope he got to see Boba Fett's glorious return before passing. RIP.

Aw, ;(
Though Boba’s his most famous role, he also played small parts in several James Bond films. A naval crewman in The Spy Who Loved me and as Q’s assistant Smithers in For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy.

Oh no..... I can *only* hope he took enjoyment in the Boba Fett revival we're currently in... RIP sir. Won't kid around, I thought he died years ago...or was that his original voice? That was Fett's (original) voice, Jason Wingreen. Died on Christmas Day 2015. So sad, both parts of the original Fett die at Christmastime. And do recall, he also played the Imperial officer who is dragging Leia away after Han's carbon freeze (captured moments later by Lando and Lobot).

Leave it to Carrie Fisher to refer to her vagina as "Florida".

Met him once in the 90s. As almost everyone says, just a real nice gent with time for everyone.
There's a way to stand and way to move that can make someone interesting, and combined with the look and the rep, that's what made Boba Boba.

Unless I'm forgetting someone, with the exception of him and Warwick Davis all the other actors who physically performed major characters under a mask, helmet, or otherwise concealing costume - R2, Chewie, Vader, Boba - are now gone.

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.

Sounds better than certain SW alumni were.
