Among the roles I have as member of the Star Wars Shakespeare cast, is that of Jabba the Hutt. Given the context of the play, I imagined him to be some seedy gangster type, and so that's how I've been playing him. Heaven knows I've met a few in my day. However, I found out that the character has a greater role in subsequent films, so I watched the film, Return of the Jedi. I must say, I would never have imagined the character looking like that.
