I remember the tabloid press trying to paint a picture of Mayhew and other masked actors in the original film somehow getting screwed over by not getting a chunk of the movie’s success, but Peter simply went back to his day job working at a hospital when production was over. He had only done Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger prior to Star Wars. I don’t think he ever said a bad word about Star Wars or anyone associated with it.
Did that bigfoot movie that he was supposed to be doing, (and was a running gag thread on here for a while) ever get made?
