Bob Anderson- my 264th pick to be named a Disney Legend

Sword master Bob Anderson was a trainer stunt man for Star Wars, Parent Trap, Three Musketeers, Candleshoe, One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing and Pirates of the Caribbean. He is my 264th pick to be named a Disney Legend.

He was an English Olympic fencer and a renowned film fight choreographer, with a cinema career that spanned more than 50 years and included films such as Highlander, The Princess Bride, The Mask of Zorro, The Lord of the Rings, and Die Another Day. He was regarded as the premier choreographer of Hollywood sword-fighting, and during his career he coached many actors in swordsmanship, including Errol Flynn, Sean Connery, Antonio Banderas, Viggo Mortensen, Adrian Paul, and Johnny Depp. He also appeared as a stunt double for Darth Vader's lightsaber battles in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
