He was 85. Most people know him as being the guy in the Darth Vader costume, but I'll always remember him as the bodybuilder in "A Clockwork Orange".

I don't know why they used the voice of James Earl Jones for Darth Vader instead of David Prowse's own voice. He sounded like a cross between a poof and a retard, and there's nothing wrong with that !

His voice also doesn't match up with his movements.

Mind you a Darth Vader who moved around like a cross between a poof and a retard would have been a talking point.
