Declan Mulholland – The Jabba the Hutt That Never Was
Career

Born in Belfast, his first role was in H.M.S. Defiant (1962) as Morrison. He also played Jabba the Hutt in a deleted scene of the original Star Wars (1977). The scene was later placed back into the movie for the film's twentieth anniversary re-release in 1997 replacing Mulholland with a computerized Jabba. He had a substantial part in the 1975 Amicus Productions film The Land That Time Forgot. His many TV appearances included the Doctor Who stories The Sea Devils (1972) and The Androids of Tara (1978), The Bill, The Onedin Line and Quatermass.

Mulholland died of a heart attack on 29 June 1999, aged 66.
