Wookieepedia:Interview/Arve Juritzen

Wookieepedia &gt; Interviews &gt; 

Request submitted on: 04:21, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

Request submitted by: Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk)

Purpose: In my currently ongoing work with articles pertaining to actors who appeared in minor roles as extras, often unaccredited, in The Empire Strikes Back, I've come across Arve Juritzen, who played a Hoth Rebel soldier in the film without credit. Mr. Juritzen has particularly caught my interest because of the certain level of fame he has attained today in his home country of Norway. He hosted several noteworthy Norwegian television programs in the early 2000s and today has become an accomplished author. I find it rather fascinating that Mr. Juritzen, who, according to his IMDb page, never appeared in any other films, went from random, unknown eighteen-year-old kid scoring a role in one of the most successful major motion films of all time to national media celebrity in his home country. I'd love to hear straight from the horse's mouth, as it were, how that happened and what it means to him today. We haven't really done one of these formal interviews in more than three years now, and it appears Mr. Juritzen is a rather accessible person through e-mail, so I thought this would be a nice opportunity to add something unique like this to Wookieepedia.

Discussion
Since we haven't done one of these interviews in a long time, you may choose to read through the policy procedure for interviews laid out on Interviews. I'm formally obligated to submit this request to the community, and then people are supposed to comment on what they think of it. There won't be a formal vote, but rather we just obtain a general opinion from a few people, and if it's positive, I'll send a request to Mr. Juritzen and see if he responds. Please feel free to leave comments in this section. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:21, August 21, 2012 (UTC)
