The voice of Darth Vader in the ‘Star Wars’ film was provided by James Earl Jones because Prowse, who was born in Bristol had an accent which was West Country and was thought not to suit the part.
In 1977, after the Star Wars films became big international hits, David Prowse opted for the small screens as he played the role of the Green Cross Code Man who taught young ones to stop, see and hear before crossing any road in the TV campaign that was popular and ran for quite some time.
The voice of Vader, who is father to Luke Skywalker, was provided by James Earl Jones for the initial three ‘Star Wars’ films. This was because Prowse’s English accent was more western and was therefore, considered unsuitable for the part.
