Mr. McGovern has quite a career in acting and voice-artistry. Early on he worked with George Lucas providing the voice of the Announcer in THX-1138, and later appeared in American Grafitti. Afterwards, he appeared in numerous telvision shows and movies, ranging from Mork and Mindy, The A-Team, and The Jeffersons, to movies like Nine Months and Mrs. Doubtfire.

Mr. McGovern is also one of the voice artists who recorded various dialogue for A New Hope. He is best known for voicing the Sandtrooper who questions Obi-Wan and Luke about the droids. Obi-Wan uses a force suggestion, and Mr. McGovern repeats it: "These aren't the droids we're looking for." Later, he also voiced another trooper who shouts "It's them..blast em"as the Millennium Falcon rockets out of Mos Eisley. Mr. McGovern also has the distinction of helping to giver Wookiees their name, after a friend of his, named Bill Wookey. This story is corroborated in an old Rolling Stone interview with George Lucas.
