063 - David Ankrum (ANH voice of Wedge/Red 2)

darthskellington · 04-30-2006, 11:26 PM

Mr. Ankrum comes from an acting family....his mother, Joan Wheeler appeared in both movies and broadway, and his father, Morris Ankrum, played various roles in Sci-Fi movies and westerns. David himself has appeared in a variety of television series in the 1970's and 80's, and has worked as a writer and voice-artist. Since then, he has become an agent..representing a variety of actors, actresses, and writers. On to the Star Wars connection. In A New Hope, he was entrusted with voicing-over Scottish-born Denis Lawson, the actor who played Wedge Antilles. So, whenever you hear Red 2 (Wedge) on the comm channel...that's David Ankrum.

You can check out Mr. Ankrum's filmography here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0030193/

For more insight....visit his website at: http://www.wedgespeaks.com/index2.htm

Mr. Ankrum actually sells nice photos on his webiste, which can be personalized. A contact address is also given, which is listed below. No word yet on whether he will sign items sent to him...but I hope to find out myself. More on that as it develops.

David Ankrum
1680 North Vine Street #1016
Hollywood, CA 90028
USA

Should any celebrity wish their address not posted, please contact myself (darthskelington) or any site staff member and it will be removed immediately.

Got a response today in exactly 6 days! I sent him 2 indexes and a trading card, asking him to sign one. He inscribed the trading card with a quote and mailed it back between my indexes to protect it.

Excellent response.

Great success! Mr. Ankrum signed and personalized the photos I sent to him, adding a line of dialogue as well. On one he wrote "Red 2 standing by" - and on my fav he wrote "look at the size of that thing!".

Brilliant!

Scans on my site.

Wow that's amazing, Mr Ankrum is a super nice guy who always has a fast turn around. I'll bet it got lost in the mail. Be sure to send a return envelope and return postage, he gets alot of mail requests!

SWfan · 10-24-2008, 02:23 PM

I got a success from Mr. Ankrum today! He signed all my cards. Took 9 days!

RYAN-J · 10-24-2008, 03:53 PM

Congrats! I currently have two requests out, and he hasn't replied to any of them!

Has anyone had any recent success? I was thinking of sending a request. I have included a couple new pics if anyone wants to use them.

Chewie · 03-20-2009, 11:02 AM

Was he not the voice of Wedge in ESB and ROTJ? I can only find him credited with ANH... just curious.
