David “Dave” Prowse, the actor best known for playing Darth Vader in the original Premium Link Upgrade trilogy, has died at the age of 85, his agent has said.

Agent Thomas Bowington Premium Link Upgrade : “It’s with great regret and heart-wrenching sadness for us and million of fans around the world, to announce that our client Dave Prowse MBE has ****** away at the age of 85.”

Prowse’s first film was 1967’s Casino Royale, where he played Frankenstein’s *******. Although the casting was based on Prowse’s stature, he developed a strong interest in acting and decided to pursue it further. His CV included roles in A Clockwork Orange and many Hammer Horror films, and he was the personal trainer who prepared Christopher Reeve for the role of Superman in 1978.

Prowse was in the Vader suit for much of the Sith Lord’s screen time and reputedly even got to speak his lines on set, though his west country tones were dubbed over with those of American actor James Earl Jones in post-production, and many of the fight scenes featured British Olympic fencer Bob Anderson.
