Larry Ward (voice actor)

Larry Ward (October 2, 1924 – October 15, 1985) was an American voice actor who provided voices for characters in three of the six Star Wars films. An electronically synthesized version of his voice was used in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) as Greedo, a bounty hunter. Ward's second film was Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983) for which he provided the voice of Jabba the Hutt. His voice was made much deeper and given a booming quality using subharmonics. Ward, a Berkeley-based linguist, developed the Huttese language alongside Ben Burtt.
