Star Wars frik


Artículo del New York Times de un actor que interpreta en teatro, él solito, la trilogía original de la Guerra de las Galaxias, haciendo los efectos de sonido y toda la cosa.

Geeks, Get Out Your Light Sabers! Impostor Alert #
Mr. Ross first performed the kinetic digest in Toronto in 2000, and for the last three years he has done little else (aside from bookings of "One Man Lord of the Rings," his follow-up invention). His appearances were frequent enough to attract the attention of mighty Lucasfilm, which chose not to sue Mr. Ross, but instead invited him to perform at Celebration III, the April 21-24 Indianapolis "Star Wars" convention that heralded the advent of the final film in the series, "Episode III - Revenge of the Sith."

He has pitched to Lucasfilm the idea of compressing and staging the second trio of movies. But whether that happens or not, he doesn't expect to play members of the Skywalker clan all his life. After Ian McKellen took in "One Man Lord of the Rings" one night, the two actors met for lunch and bandied about the virtues of solo vehicles. "We talked about his one-man shows, like 'Acting Shakespeare,' " recalled Mr. Ross. "He said: 'They're in the bag. You can do them anytime.' Except that this show will definitely have a shelf life, because my body will have a shelf life. It is the most punishing show I've ever done. I don't want to be some 60-year-old guy coming out and. ..." With that, he began to hum the "Stars Wars" theme.
