It is commonly (& mistakenly) reported that I only did the voice of Dobbu Scay, but I filmed the scene in a full motion-capture suit w/ a giant-sized medicine ball to make me the same size as BB-8. I didn’t expect to be credited, assuming it would be another unbilled easter-egg. https://t.co/f6hAPOstxR

A #StarWars toy embedded in my @darkcrystal character “The Scientist”?! This is news to me. In other related news, the Han Solo reference in @ChildsPlayMovie was already in the script & filmed before they hired me, in case you were wondering.#seeingSWeverywhere #TieFighterEye https://t.co/JpDPlpOO7U

.@TheFrankOzJam did NOT. When shooting #EmpireStrikesBack-we all were doing Yoda impressions (“Hungry are you? To lunch we must go!”)-Frank finally asked us to please stop because our goofy versions were influencing him & a distraction from the only one that mattered.#TrueStory https://t.co/BAjESnDkcI
