"TELL US ABOUT GETTING THE FETT JOB, JEREMY!!!"
"I'll never forget it. It was a cold & wintery day. Lucas had just stepped out of the shower, his chiselled, American physique wrapped in a taut towel. He slumped to his throne, which had been pulled out by two underlings (dressed as Stormtrooper). He looked me over, and stroked a contract on the table, saying "You want thiiiiiiiis", I replied that I would dearly like it. He then subjected me to the hardest test all actors in costume face - does the costume & shoes fit.
Happily, for me, the costume & shoes were a perfect fit. This is because my body was the right size for them. This was clearly down to my acting ability, and not coincidence as some of those mean Internet people have suggested.
George said as much, because when he saw me in the suit, and observed it fitted perfectly, he didn't even ask me to read any lines - he knew straight away how good I was. You can always tell when George is impressed - there is a complete lack of emotion or expression on his face, and he says everything in the same dull, monotone pitch.
Only when this happens do you know he has found a great actor, whom his vast Sith-like directing abilities can mould. NOT some lucky schmuck pulled in from an agency & paid basic to wear a suit that just happened to fit, OK? I'll take cheque, cash or AMEX, thanks."
