The Man Who Stabbed Errol Flynn

Bob Anderson has just died and his obituary is in The Times today. He had been an Olympic fencer and fencing coach until he started coaching actors in films.

Reading his credits, you get the impression that he was involved in organising the sword fights in every film that had one in the last few decades. He was also a double for Darth Vader in the Star Wars films.

In one incident he actually stabbed Errol Flynn. However, they remained good friends.
