Star Wars and Gremlins Voiceover Artist Mark Dodson's sad demise at 64!
Mon March 04th, 2024
At the age of 64, Mark Dodson, who was well-known for lending his distinct and exceptional voice to the characters in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Gremlins, departed from this life. In Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Dodson provided the voice of Salacious Crumb, a cunning sidekick of Jabba the Hutt. He was cast in Gremlins as the voice of the Mogwai, a figure that kids would often imitate because of his well-known portrayal.
His daughter, Ciara, said that her father “never ceased making me proud.” The Evansville Horror Con, where Dodson was scheduled to appear, shared a tribute on Facebook.
“We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of Mark Dodson last night. Mark was not only a talented voice actor but also a cherished member of the horror community. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fans during this incredibly difficult time. We hope that you can take a moment out of your day to reflect on the joy and laughter that Mark brought into the world. His legacy will live on through his work.”
In the 1983 movie Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Dodson provided the voice of Salacious Crumb, a shabby monkey-lizard who was the pet and cackling court jester of criminal Jabba the Hutt.
