'Andrew Jack'.

Des de Metro, ens informen de que el actor de Star Wars i famós entrenador de dialectes Andrew Jack ha mort a l’edat de 76 anys degut a complicacions pel COVID-19. Actualment treballava com entrenador de dialectes a ‘The Batman’, de Matt Reeves, que recentment va interrompre la producció a Londres degut precisament a la pandèmia.

L’actor Britànic havia treballat en més de 80 films des de que va iniciar la seva carrera l’any 1982. Potser sigui millor conegut pel seu paper com al Major General de la Resistència Caluan Ematt a ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ i ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’. També va treballar a ‘Rogue One: Star Wars Story’. També va posar veu al sequaç de Lady Proxima Moloch a ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’. L’ex codirector d’aquest film, Christopher Miller’, va publicar un homenatge especial...

Andrew Jack was the dialect coach on SOLO, and a kind and thoughtful man. We asked him to teach Alden to speak Shyriiwook, and I’ll always remember listening to them gargle-roar at each other back and forth.
RIP https://t.co/ivlE7q4guB
