Ray Park

But it did look a little silly.

So Ray Park.

What? Ray Park was the horseman.

And yeah, he says he served as the Headless Horseman stunt double.

wore a blue ski mask for the chroma key effect, then digitally removed his head.

I did not see that news headline.

That's hilarious.

Fucking shout out to Ray Parks.

And yes, it gets a little action-y at times.

That's because the stunt actor is Ray Park.

This is Darth Maul playing the role of the Headless Horseman, right? In the famously appreciated movie, The Phantom Menace.

The best part of that bad movie is Darth Maul.

came out myself.

I'm sorry.

And another good point from JW, you know, pointing out that Ray Park was the horseman.

You know, I think that was a really great one.

So you basically, you posted and asked for questions.

Yeah, Steve maintains a Ray Park fan site, and that takes up a good portion of his time.

It's hard

work.

I think his name is Eric Calkins.

Why don't you give out his phone number as well? Where does

he live? Eric Calkins is fond of long walks through Ray Park.

Well, I...

We had done a Darth Maul mannequin for a costume exhibit for the archives years ago.

and uh power of the costume we did a bunch of things for that and uh for that one we did a generic head for darth maul blank egghead you would call it and we but we gave it the horns and the markings and that was a kind of neat way to go i always like that um but for that he had to hold this big heavy saber and we devised a way that was like a hidden clamp that came out of the palm and could latch on and be locked in place and hold the saber and we came up with a similar thing for this um And then for the head, very luckily, my friend Philip Robinson had sculpted an amazing Darth Maul head to the point where I've actually seen people try to pass it off as a life cast of Ray Park.

And, you know, we've had to call out a few people who were like, hey, wait a minute.

No, that's Philip's sculpt.

Um, and then, uh, we added his neck scars in.

I'm trying to remember.

I don't know if Philip had those in there or not, but, uh, Ray Park has some scars on his neck or at least Darth Maul does.

Um, and we added his earring, of course, very important.

Hey, I'm Ray Parker.

I play Darth Maul in Phantom Menace and Solo, a Star Wars story, and G.I. Joel, Snake Eyes, and you're listening to Disney

Universe Podcast.

We would be honored if you would join us.

To infinity and beyond! I'm Ray Parker, y'all!

You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of.

But you have heard of me.

I have herpes at all times"?

Can I just say that this guy looks like Ray Park, who's Darth Maul, and it's a bit uncanny and I don't like it.

Little bit, yeah.

I'm like, "Get Ray Park away from the herpes."

I mean, when he was Darth Maul, he did have little swords sticking out of his head, so a little bit pathetic.

Mm-hmm.

And he's played by Darth Maul.

Really? I was just about to say, yeah, Ray Park, isn't it? Yeah, Ray.

It's a really good fight choreography.

You know, the scene on the bridge and stuff is all very Darth Maul, isn't it? Where he's got the sword and the axe and he's whizzing around.

I think he's uncredited.

I think Ray Park is uncredited.

There's a guy, there's two people.

So it's Rob, there's a guy called Rob Inch.

In this case, they wanted realism.

My friend Philip Robinson had sculpted a beautiful Ray Park head years ago.

And so he was my first call when this job came up.

And the good thing there is with Darth Maul, his face is painted so you don't need the translucency of silicone.
