Peter Mayhew, noted actor. (“Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.” He was in some other stuff, too, including “The Star Wars Holiday Special”.)
Variety. THR. Home on the Range at Borepatch, who notes that he was active in Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue. I find that kind of touching: I really liked Ridgebacks when I was younger, and kind of wanted one. (Now that I’m older, I feel like they need more room to run than I can provide.)
