Bauersfeld also voiced Jabba the Hut's father in that film, as well lending hi voice to Guillermo Del Toro's film Crimson Peak and Steven Spielberg's 2001 film A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
"The voice work I did in movies was accidental. I was working with Randy Thom on radio dramas at his technical quarters at Lucasfilm. One day Ben Burtt, sound designer for Star Wars, came by and asked if I would audition for a voice in the movie", said Bauersfeld.
We will forever know him as Admiral Ackbar, yelling his famous line, "It's a trap!"
