Declan Mulholland was hired to play Jabba the Hutt in The Empire Strikes Back. He did a scene with Harrison Ford, complete with costuming and set. As it turns out, George Lucas was unsure how he was going to portray Jabba. He really didn't want a human to play him, he thought he would replace Declan in the scene with a stop-action animated Jabba. In the end he cut this scene and used a giant snail-like puppet as Jabba.

Clifton James in the 1950s
Clifton James was born in 1920 in Spokane, WA and grew up in Oregon. He was a decorated WWII Veteran who served in the South Pacific. After the war he moved to NYC. His first known screen appearance was on tv in an episode on Inside Detective in 1953.
Clifton James, made his movie debut at 36 years old in 1957s The Strange One, a movie about hazing in a Military Academy. Clifton, although from the Northwest starts his movie career as a Colonel with a southern accent, he will use that accent in many more roles in his career. This film pushed the Hayes Code Rules with homosexual undertones. They weren't blatant, but some scenes were cut in some areas where the film was shown. Cine Historian on YouTube goes into detail about the scenes. I personally have lost the ability to pay full attention to at-home entertainment. This film was also the film debuts for Ben Gazzara, Pat Hingle and George Peppard.
Clifton James' next role was in an episode of Decoy, a TV show about a policewoman (played by Beverly Garland) in NYC who often goes undercover, in 1957, he plays a patrolman. The first of many times he will play a law enforcement officer.

Father Dowling Mysteries (TV Series)
S3/E1 ’The Royal Mystery’ (1990) - Tom Bosley
I loved watching this show as a kid. Mainly for my budding lust for Bosley. It might also helped me develop my priest fetish.
On A Side Note: If they ever decide to remake/reimage this show, Jack McGee might be my first choice to play Father Frank Dowling.
Better yet, Dakin Matthews.

No Escape (1994) - Ian McNeice
Seeing this again in years has reminded me of three things.
(1.) How hot Ian was in the 90s. This is a chub I could have spent a lot of restless nights with.
(2.) I had forgotten how hairy Ian was. I always remembered him being less hairy for some reason.
(3.) Lance Henriksen and Michael Lerner was in this, plus a few other daddies I wouldn't mind doing. ***DADDY BONUSES***
Now I want to be on an island (not this island) with Ian McNeice and Michael Lerner… doing stuff.

Cliff Emmich in the 1980s
Most of Cliff Emmich's jobs in the 1980s mostly came from guest appearances on TV shows and appearing in TV movies. In the above photos he guest-starred on 2 episodes of CHiPs in 1980 and 1983.
Emmich did appear in Halloween II in 1981. You may remember the Hospital's night security guard.
Cliff was on an episode of Falcon Crest in 1982.
Cliff also guested on TV show Bret Maverick in 1982. I was hoping for another bathtub scene in the show but I'm just happy he was in it.
Cliff Emmich also made appearances in The Incredible Hulk, Matt Houston and Trapper John, MD in the early 1980s.
He appeared in the movie Hellhole in 1985.
As well as an episode of Knight Rider.
And he appeared in comedy/horror movie Return to Horror High as the cameraman in 1987.
And episodes of Hunter, 227 and Night Court. That is probably his own belt buckle he is wearing in Night Court. It looks to be the same one he wore in Return to Horror High.

William Hootkins in the 2000s
In 2001 William Hootkins worked with Director Peter Chelsom for the third time in the comedy Town & Country starring Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton.
He also appeared in vampire movie The Breed in 2001.
In January 2002, he appeared in TV Movie The Magnificent Ambersons.
These photos are from the Screening of The Magnificent Ambersons. Notice the difference in height between William Hootkins and James Cromwell. Hootkins was a foot shorter. 5'7" vs 6'7".
In 2004 Hootkins was in Blessed, a supernatural Horror Thriller starring Heather Graham. Filmed in Romania, November 2003.
William Hootkins was in an episode of The West Wing as a translator. Hootkins learned Mandarin at Princeton University and that is what most likely got him this job but he was never shown speaking Mandarin or even got a close-up. This episode was shown in December 2004, one month before he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I don't know when it was filmed but he must've been dealing with symptoms (pain, jaundice, worsening diabetes) at the time.
William Hootkins made 3 appearances on film in 2005. He was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in January and passed away in October. There was the comedy film Dear Wendy that was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2005 but it was filmed in late 2003. There was an episode of Absolute Power starring Stephen Fry that aired in August 2005. I don't have photos of these two. The last credit is from Colour Me Kubrick (photos above) which was shown in France at the Dinard Festival of British Cinema in October 2005, however this was filmed in early 2004. So his last appearance on film was either on the TV shows The West Wing or Absolute Power.
In 2003, William Hootkins played Alfred Hitchcock in Hitchcock Blonde in the London Theatre to great acclaim. Hootkins worked hard for this role learning Hitchcock's mannerisms and accent. There were plans to bring the production to Broadway in 2005 where he would've been eligible to win a Tony Award. This never happened once he was diagnosed with Cancer.

William Hootkins in the 1990s (3 of 3)
William Hootkins appeared in Comedy Thriller, Gummed Labels in 1992. There is no release date on this "TV movie" so I think it may have been a straight to video film. Hootkins played "Seducer Producer", a porno film producer.
In 1994 he appeared in the Sci-fi Action Horror film Death Machine.
In 1995 he appeared in his second Peter Chelsom film, Funny Bones starring Jerry Lewis and Oliver Platt.
In 1997 he had a small role in Rhinoceros Hunting in Budapest.
He appeared in This World, Then the Fireworks in 1997, starring Billy Zane.
Like Father, Like Santa (aka The Christmas Takeover), 1998. William Hootkins played Santa Claus because...why not? He was a natural to play Santa Claus and probably had many offers. This film is supposed to be pretty good for a Santa Claus movie.
The Omega Code, a 1999 Fantasy Action Movie. Hootkins played a British VIP.
