Page 1 of R I P Porkins

William Hootkins, who played `Porkins` in Star Wars: A New Hope, has passed away at the age of 57. He died of pancreatic Cancer.

Even though he had a tiny part in the film, you always felt a little sad when this instantly loveable guy bought the farm.

He had a huge string of titles under his belt, including `Freddie Frobisher` in Blackadder II (`Beer`) as well as appearing in the 1989 Batman, Haunted Honeymoon, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Biggles. He`d also begun to do voicework for a number of Video Games, including Everquest II and Evil Dead: a fistful of boomstick.

You know, it wasn`t until I looked at the IMDb that I realised how familiar he was to me without realising it - Munson in Flash Gordon!

I`m really saddened by the news. Munson/ Porkins/ The government dude from Raiders "Top people" and chasing Stephanie Zimbalist around a winery in Remington Steele bellowing "Ac-a-pul-co!"

Bless him. :(
