I first saw Lithgow in " The World according to Garp " in 1982. He has such a sweet charisma about him. Adeptly moving from high comedy to melodrama, from Solomon to Churchill, he is a talented character actor. It must be a joyful experience to work with him in any field of entertainment. God bless him!

I have all three of the Star Wars radio dramas, Lithgow as Yoda is a lot of fun. You CANNOT hear his human side at all, he is 100% Yoda. Lots of other great names are present in the cast besides the movie originals too: Perry King is a brilliant Han Solo, Brock Peters as Vader is every bit as iconic as Jones. Ed Begley Jr. was Boba Fett and Ed Asner, hilariously, was Jabba the Hutt.
