Before Star Wars

A few demanding television advertisements were nothing to compare with the preparation for my nanosecond appearance with Jimmy Smits in Episode III. Yes I did actually survive the editing room in another scene on the Tantive IV. In the months preceding filming, I was required to stay calm, throw away the razor and grow my beard for all it was worth and attend several costume measurement sessions with the English tailor and his collection of fine English woollen cloths. Australian filming took place at Fox Studios Sydney, under the direction of George Lucas. I was one among a number of Australian extras with Australian crew, in a vibrant atmosphere of goodwill and tension. Off set the lead actors were affable, putting us Aussies at ease. In only weeks it was over, nearly two years before the film release. However that is only one facet of my life as I work in horticulture and graphic design. You can see some of my work if you look at the site below.
