I never knew until a few years ago that he also had a small role in A Clockwork Orange.

Rest in Peace Mr Prowse. Thank you for the great films!

I saw him in Hammer's 1972 'Vampire Circus' not too long ago as the circus strongman. He spent most of the movie bare-chested in a pair of wrestling trunks and boots. Dang he was a BIG beefy guy!!! 

Sad to see him go, we're losing all the great old actors. Guess it's kinda sad, I'd way rather watch older films than the stuff made these days. 

It was a road saftey campaign in the UK which is still going, though without the Green Cross Code man. In the 70's we had these adverts on TV. When the UK goverment found out about david playing darth vader, he nearly got the sack as the green Cross Code man because they didn't think his role as vader was appropiate to be teaching children road asaftey. Of course back then i don't think us kids realied they were one and the same.

It's a shame but 85 isn't that bad of a age, my Father made it into his 90s.  Wait a minute, I'll hit 70 next year, I better be careful.

I was surprised to hear that he was 6'7".  

That green cross thing, I take it that was some kind of empire safety patrol program?

Ah! He certainly was someone to be careful around. He did a good job in that role. May he rest in Peace!
