Good stuff B. Ensure that you get some of the great photos of him with the costumes for your site. There are some very cool ones out there.

Perhaps I should publish the interview that I did with Toby Philpott in full sometime.

Dr.Bear has very kindly provided me with some photos to use in the interview article to compliment it.He has been just fantastic.A really great,genuine guy who has been courteous,helpful and pleasant in all his communications with me.Both he and his personal assistant have gone out of their way to arrange this interview for me and it has been just a thrill to talk to a man with such a fantastic career.Among his work,outside of star wars,he has also worked on the first three star trek movies,the towering inferno,planet of the apes and black rain to name but a few.A genuinely fascinating man with one of the best natures I have ever come across.I really look forward to publishing the interview on my site soon.
He also very kindly is sending me a personalised signed picture as a memento for me of this great experience.I mean,seriously,it's not every day you get to talk to an imperial stormtrooper!

He did a lot of stormtroper stunts as he played a stormtroper in all three films however one of the most memorable is during the speeder chase Dr.Bear is one of the biker scouts that crashes into a tree and is also the scout who is knocked off his speeder by one of the ewok tripwire traps.He played a snowtrooper on Hoth in ESB and was one of the opening scene stormtroopers aboard the tantive at the start of star wars and was one of he troopers chasing Luke and Leia down before the bridge jump aboard the death star.
