Just weeks after the passing of original Darth Vader actor David Prowse, his “The Empire Strikes Back” co-star Jeremy Bulloch has also died. He was 75. Bulloch portrayed the popular bounty hunter Boba Fett in both that film and “Return of the Jedi”.
Bulloch’s successor in the role in the prequel trilogy, actor Daniel Logan, shared the news on his Instagram account. More recently actor Temeura Morrison has taken over the role of Boba Fett in “The Mandalorian” TV series.
Bulloch also had an acting career that spanned decades across several British TV series from “Doctor Who” to “The Professionals”. On film he appeared in three Roger Moore-era James Bond movies, first as a crewman of a submarine in “The Spy Who Loved Me” followed by a tiny recurring role as Q Branch employee Smithers in both “For Your Eyes Only” and “Octopussy”.
