Star Wars actor Andrew Jack dies from coronavirus aged 76
Star Wars actor and film dialect coach Andrew Jack has died aged 76 as a result of coronavirus, according to his agent.
Jill McCullough said in a statement: “He died this morning of Covid-19 at St Peter’s Hospital, Chertsey.
“Andrew lived on one the oldest working houseboats on the Thames, he was fiercely independent but madly in love with his wife; also a dialect coach: Gabrielle Rogers.
“Tragically she is stuck in quarantine in Australia having just flown in from NZ last week. She was unable to see or talk to him at the end of his life and there is a chance a funeral may not be held.
“Andrew was full of life – he was tall and striking with flowing white hair. You wouldn’t miss him if he walked into a room. He was still working full-pelt, currently coaching on the new Batman.
“I’m receiving so many messages saying how much he will be missed. Our community has lost one of it’s brightest and clearest voices.”
