If I remember correctly that isn't actually Dan Aykroyd, correct? I can't remember who it is. Anyone wanna chime in with whose under the makeup? Do we have a picture of what the person really looks like? I love GB2 behind the scenes pics. Especially from the finale since it was such a chaotic ever changing sequence. Hopefully more pictures like this can be found.

He has demo reel on Vimeo releases in 2018 that has work from various recent blockbustersRichardLess wrote: ↑August 30th, 2019, 7:52 amDo we have a picture of what [Howie Weed] really looks like?
In addition to playing demon Vigo and possessed Ray, Howie was also the 'gory Wampa' for the Special Edition version of the Empire Strikes Back, which came out in 1997.
An article on his career at ILM: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Howie_Weed
There's a great story he told in an issue of Star Wars Insider magazine about the prank that his coworkers played, hiding a stinky sardine inside the Wampa mask just before the production team came in to see Howie demonstrate the costume.

And there's a b/w pic of Weed in the makeup chair on p. 44 of the Cinefex article about GB2. The photo caption and additional text about Weed playing the two prosthetic characters can be found on p. 45.

The pic of Howie that is on the GB Wiki is actually this pic from 2007.
Here's a slightly more recent pic of Howie from his Twitter account. He joined in 2010.
