Primarily although, it was his work as a dialect coach that he’ll be greatest remembered for. That service noticed him prepare actors on lots of cinema’s greatest franchises, together with a bunch of Marvel movies (Avengers: Endgame, Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok, to call just a few), The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Batman Begins, a number of James Bond pics and as I already talked about, Star Wars.

Particularly, I like Abrams’ cheeky clarification for getting Jack in entrance of movie cameras for less than the second time in his profession. Although they solely labored collectively as soon as, it’s clear that the latter made a major impression. And whether or not he was giving elocution classes to Danes in Center Earth, or preventing fascists in a galaxy far, far-off, Jack left a long-lasting impression on motion pictures, too.

In case you’ve bought any messages of your personal to depart in his reminiscence, you are able to do so at your discretion under. My one remark of Jack’s work comes from his function on Man Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. Specifically that he did an excellent job with Robert Downey Jr.’s accent, correct sufficient and completely in-keeping with the tone of the movie. All I’m left questioning is who he was coaching in Star Wars.

RIP Andrew Jack (1944-2020).
