Peter Mayhew Lands New Role

Posted By Dustin on October 13, 2005

From Foxnews.com:

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a Wookiee named Chewbacca (search) growled and howled his way through "Star Wars" (search) movies. On Monday, the actor who played him will take the oath to become an American citizen.

British-born Peter Mayhew (search) will be among 441 people from 77 countries who will become naturalized Americans in a ceremony in Arlington, Texas.

Mayhew, 60, played the fur-covered warrior Chewgrant must be a legal permanent resident for five years before becoming a citizen. The wait is three years if the person marries a U.S. citizen. He also must pass history, English and civics exams."
