Bitchy Androids, Bitchier Actors who play them

Continuing with source citations from "Episode 8: Linguaphiles attend," here is one of the contextual quotes that lead to a discussion of a certain bitchy gold robot as portrayed by an apparently equally bitchy actor. (The source is here.)

In a recent interview with Kenny Baker (R2-D2)

INTERVIEWER: Did you get on with fellow robot actor Anthony Daniels?

KENNY BAKER: Not really. I thought it was just me he didn't get on with but recently I've found out he doesn't get on with anyone. He's been such an awkward person over the years. If he just calmed down and socialised with everyone, we could make a fortune touring and making personal appearances. I've asked him four times now but, the last tiime, he looked down his nose at me like I was a piece of *beep* He said: 'I don't do many of these conventions - go away little man.' He really degraded me and made me feel small - for want of a better expression. He's rude to everyone though, including the fans.

*Gasp*:(

Has C3PO turned to the dark side?

I also mentioned, as Quote of the Week, the nastier Daniels comment that appeared on Wikipedia and mentioned that it had further been extracted therefrom. I'm too lazy to crawl through the innards of the talk page. But the expurgated version is here.

Okay, I'm a little too obsessive. The edit is after the Revision as of 19:51, 16 September 2009
