Erik Bauersfeld, 90 years old, performed the voices of Admiral Ackbar and Bib Fortuna in "Return of the Jedi." He's still never seen the original "Star Wars," and the recording was a very small job in his respected broadcasting career. But he has developed a nice relationship with fans of the series, returning their letters and refusing to charge money for autographs.
Here's the blog post for this video: http://sfg.ly/wdFeJV

Such a wonderfully pleasant individual. The world is so much better for his contributions, I believe.

So this man Erik Bauersfeld did the voice of one of the most iconic Star Wars characters, Admiral Ackbar and Bib Fortuna as well, the unsung heroes of the films. He probably didn't get paid much for his contributions to Return of the Jedi, but his lines have become one of the most quoted phrases in all of SW Lore, really nice to see him getting some recognition after all these years.

Just a heads up, he isn't doing free autographs anymore due to high demand (most likely due to this video) You have to go to his site to buy them.

It would be great to hear him in Star Wars: The Clone Wars as a new character.
