Tim Dry

TIM DRY played ‘J’Quille – Whiphid’ and a ‘Mon Calamari Officer’ in “Star Wars Episode VI – Return Of The Jedi”. He also played The Alien in the Horror / Sci Fi movie “XTRO”.


In the 1980s he was half of the legendary mime / music duo TIK & TOK. They released 5 singles and a chart album “Intolerance” in the UK, Europe and Japan. They supported Duran Duran, Gary Numan and Ultravox. They reformed briefly in 2005 and wrote and recorded a brand new album “Dream Orphans”, which is still on sale on the official Tik & Tok website.


Tim is also an award-winning Photographic Artist, whose subjects have included Mick Jagger, Steven Berkoff, The Mediaeval Baebes and Joan Collins. He has exhibited his art in London, Hamburg and New York. His work has been used for CD covers and book jackets. In December 2007 he exhibited six original photomontages in the prestigious Gallery 286 in London.


As an actor Tim appeared in more than 90 TV Commercials in the UK and Europe. He has had featured roles in the films “The 10th Kingdom” and “Decadence”, and UK TV shows such as “The Bill”. “Eastenders”, “Casualty” and “Father Ted”. On stage he played the Lead in Steven Berkoff’s “Harry’s Christmas” and Moliere’s “School For Wives.”


Tim has recently completed his second book, “CONTINUUM – The Star Wars Phenomenon As Experienced From The Inside.” About the filming of his roles in ‘Jedi’, and of his subsequent appearances from 2003 at ‘Star Wars’ Autograph Conventions all over the world. The book is due for publication in 2008, and features a foreword by Robert Watts, the Producer of the original Star Wars’ Trilogy.


He is currently starting work on writing the authorised biography of Robert Watts.
