Oliver Ford Davies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oliver Ford Davies (born August 12, 1939) is a British actor. From the King's School, Canterbury, he won a scholarship to Merton College, Oxford, where he read History and became President of the Oxford University Dramatic Society (OUDS).
He was awarded the Laurence Olivier Awards in 1990 (1989 season) for Best Actor in a New Play for Racing Demon. He was nominated for a 2004 Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role of 2003 for his performance in Absolutely! (perhaps) at the Wyndham's Theatre.
He had a regular role as Peter Foxcott QC in Kavanagh QC. He also appeared in the ITV television drama The Uninvited, and in one episode of the popular drama Foyle's War.
[edit] Star Wars
Davies was not available to shoot his scenes as Sio Bibble in Italy for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, so when George Lucas filmed the factory scenes in England, he spent a day with him on bluescreen filming his shots, and then put them together to make him look like he was there in the Naboo palace with all the other actors.
