Chris Parsons |
Born
in London in 1960, Chris Parsons would soon find himself in the
"galaxy far, far, away" via his involvement in the Star Wars saga of
the late 1970's and early 1980's!
His various work in the trilogy includes:
Star Wars: Episode V - Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Star
Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) in which he portrayed:
C-3PO (double), K-3PO, E-3PO, R-3PO, a Death Star Droid, a
Stormtrooper, Snowtrooper, a Hoth Rebel soldier and a Hoth Snow Speeder
pilot.
All making his stories from the set varied and insightful.
Chris
has also been in various other Television and film productions
including: Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Quadrophenia, Superman ll, Yentl,
The Shining and James Bond.
But of all his various work, the one most resonating with Star Wars fans is his portrayal of 4-LOM, the Bounty Hunter. 4-LOM
is remembered as the cold, calculating and ambitious LOM-series
protocol droid, resembling the insectoid species he was designed to
serve, who overrode his programming and became an intergalactic thief
and later a bounty hunter, often working with Grand Findsman Zuckuss.
Following
the Battle of Hoth, 4-LOM was hired by Darth Vader to capture Han Solo,
Captain of the Millennium Falcon and hero of the Rebel Alliance. For
this, the mechanical teamed up fellow Bounty Hunters Boba Fett, Dengar,
Bossk, and IG-88.
Chris Parson's unique part in the Star Wars trilogy allowed him to give life to this unique creature, spawning Legos, trading cards, toys and more!
Programming Notes: Chris
is happy to take part in panels talking about his behind the scenes
experiences on the Star Wars set, alone or with other cast members. For
