Which means he was cast-mates with R2D2. I recall an Ahmed Best interview in which several Star Wars actors were in the same hotel, and Best was telling the journalist about Kenny Baker. It seems that Baker entertained himself by the hotel pool with his bong: "He has no fear, know what I'm saying?" Living Large? |
