How much is he charging for his autographs nowadays? I think he's made a very healthy living out of Star Wars and has been ultimately stupid in biting the hand that feeds him.

I have heard Dave Prowse say that attending conventions and signing autographs is basically the only thing that he is doing these days.

I have lost count of how many conventions that I have been to where Dave Prowse have been writing signatures, but I have never seen the price of his signature being very high in comparison. He is on the same level as Kenny Baker and Jeremy Bulloch who are also seen very often. Anthony Daniels charges more. I have seen background actors charge less, but not always.

Mind you, that Lucasfilm has at most one or two conventions per year, and there are many, many others. Several firms organize three conventions annually. I have heard that LFLs terms for guests are nowhere near as good as those that other convention organizers provide. The income that the autograph signers get from Lucasfilm's events can only be a fraction of what they get from doing other events.

Oh, I have heard many people talk about bad experiences with Anthony Daniels. My own impression, from meeting him at three events, including backstage, is that he is quite pedantic, and takes any job very seriously, perhaps too seriously. I have also heard Dave Prowse speak publicly about how he dislikes Anthony Daniels ...
