GOODBYE, MALCOLM TIERNEY...


"Where are you taking this... thing?!"

Famous words from the original STAR WARS, as spoken by British actor Malcolm Tierney in 1976 playing the suspicious commander of the Death Star cell bay. Tierney sadly passed away last week at the age of 75. Beyond his now infamous STAR WARS contribution, he was a popular character actor in all types of popular UK based series, including a notable appearance in eighties DOCTOR WHO, plus stints in the popular comedy drama series LOVEJOY and the soap opera BROOKSIDE. Film work continued, especially a key role in Mel Gibson's Scottish revolution epic: BRAVEHEART.

Malcolm Tierney, RIP...
