Happy 71st Birthday  Anthony Daniels born 21 February 1946 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, the son of a plastics company executive has an acting career few others can match . He studied law for two years at university and then dropped out to participate in amateur dramatics and attend acting school. After leaving school in 1974, Daniels worked on BBC Radio and for the National Theatre of Great Britain at The Young Vic.  Whilst working in the theatre, he was invited to meet director George Lucas who was casting for Star Wars. Daniels at first turned down the interview but was persuaded by his agent to meet Lucas. Never a science fiction fan, he was so displeased with the film that he walked out after 10 minutes and demanded his money back. However, in a 2011 interview he said that he had watched it for longer than 10 minutes, and having since watched it in full, now regards it as a masterpiece. In the same interview, he said he enjoyed post-apocalyptic films such as Mad Max.  Have you figured out just who Tony is????  Daniels has played C-3PO in all of the Star Wars feature films from the original installment in the series, as both the body and voice of the golden robot.  . Kenny Baker, who played R2-D2 in the series until his death in 2016, revealed that he and Daniels did not get along, with Baker accusing Daniels of "....being rude to everyone..including fans."  In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, he wore a blue Spandex costume so that during editing of the movie his body could be turned into many different wires and circuits. Daniels has reprised the role for various promotional work such as hosting The Making of Star Wars, Star Wars Connections and The Science of Star Wars; for appearances on The Muppet Show, Sesame Street  Daniels also makes cameo appearances as a humanoid in two scenes of the feature films. His character, is named as a tribute to his own name, albeit in modified form. The character appears in the Outlander nightclub scene early in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones as a man in blue uniform who can be seen in a cutaway reaction shot after Obi-Wan disarms the bounty hunter Zam Wesell. Faytonni can also be seen at the Galaxies Opera House in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.  Abrams made a new C-3PO suit for Daniels to wear during filming using 3D printing that allows Daniels a great deal more mobility and comfort than the original suit.  Daniels is also signed to appear as C-3PO in the two sequels following The Force Awakens;they will be released in 2017and 2019, respectively.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thank you for the many years of enjoying your character that almost wasn't! |

Good job on the biography of an interesting character, Bret. Thank you. I will sleep better knowing that C3PO really did have a heart.

Not exactly a known face from the theater but a lifelong achievement in an acting career.
