Legendary Puppeteer

Dave Barclay got his first "big break" in the movie industry as a puppeteer when he was called up to help control the now legendary Yoda in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. He was also one of the people inside Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. Having worked in all sorts of films and television including Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Fraggle Rock, The Muppet Christmas Carol, and much more, Dave has been at the cutting edge of animatronic puppetry since 1979. We had the great pleasure of visiting with Dave and hearing some fabulous stories of his time in Star Wars and other films and television. He's also releasing a book about his career that you will want to pick up as a result of listening to him share about his time in the film industry! This is a must not miss episode of the podcast!
