After joining the Star Wars franchise, the majority of John Hollis’ filmography consisted of TV work rather than parts in feature films. During that time, he appeared in one or two episodes of shows like “The Day of the Triffids,” “Brass,” “The Lenny Henry Show,” and “Grange Hill,” among others. He was also in eight episodes of a 1984 BBC show titled “Badger Girl” and a 1995 TV movie titled “The Great Kandinsky.”
Both before and after Star Wars, Hollis was well-known for his work as a radio actor, too, voicing characters in BBC radio dramas like an adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel “Great Expectations.” Author Iain Lowson even published a 1997 interview with Hollis on his personal blog Embra, again. conducted through the mail. While they primarily discussed his time playing Lobot, Hollis claimed that it was becoming increasingly difficult to find acting work at that point in his career, so he was shifting his focus to voice work instead. By the time of his death in 2005, Hollis seemed to have been prioritizing voice-only roles. Fans of his work as Lobot interested in this facet of his career can hear him in recordings of some Shakespeare classics like a 2003 audiobook release of “The Taming of the Shrew.”
