"LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING"!

Dennis Muren and I were childhood friends. When we were thirteen years old we would make home movies in his garage. He would create the special effects and my brother and I were the actors. Many years later, after we moved away and lost touch with Dennis, I voiced the character of  Wedge Antilles/Red 2 in Star Wars. I voiced the line.."Look at the size of that thing"! upon seeing the Death Star for the first time. I didn't know until the credits rolled that Dennis worked on the special effects in Star Wars. Our paths had crossed again. In a big way...

It was very cool to see that his passion and talent for effects paid off. And I was a small part of the journey....
