my surprise, West End Games in 1987 came out with the Star Wars roleplaying game.
It still retained all the respect, but it wasn’t something anyone talked about. Fans of my age will remember that there’s a time when Star Wars went away huge when you were growing up and then past 1984, it started fading from consciousness. Star Wars is something that’s been beloved to me my entire life. (They're both doing well, by the way.) It's Star Wars, however, that's easily one of his biggest and longest-running pop culture obsessions:Īs a fan, the idea of fleshing out anything in Star Wars is like a dream beyond what anyone should be allowed experience.
His rescue dog Leonard and foster dog Buster are both named for sci-fi icons: Leonard Nimoy ( Star Trek) and Buster Crabbe ( Flash Gordon). Here's your final spoiler warning.Įven if Witwer wasn't a super-fan for all things Star Wars, you shouldn’t question his nerd status it even extends to his dogs. But it’s his performance as the former Sith in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and, specifically, Star Wars Rebels that we focused on in a recent, in-depth chat. In the video game world, Witwer has voiced Darth Vader’s secret apprentice Starkiller in the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed series, played the role of Emperor Palpatine, and voiced the surprisingly resilient Darth Maul, as well. And it’s the famed franchise’s animated series and video games that have brought Witwer’s voice to the attention of legions of fans around the world.
While that trio has a fondness for “Dungeons & Dragons” in common, it’s on Star Wars that Witwer’s lifelong love and obsession is focused. Typically cast in roles that require a strong jaw and an impressive physique, Witwer’s good looks belie his self-professed nerdy and introspective personality, putting him in that rare crossover category with the likes of Vin Diesel and Joe Manganiello. Sam Witwer is one of those rare Hollywood talents who seems to be able to do it all. Spoilers follow for folks who aren't caught up with Star Wars Rebels.
