Michael Whiteley has worked on numerous ground-breaking films, including:
- Return of the Jedi – Creating the iconic organ for Max Rebo and the drums for the Ewok village.
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom – Crafting skeletons, monkey heads, and beetles.
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade – More impressive dead body props!
- Titanic, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Dragon Slayer, and Return to Oz – Contributing props that became central to these iconic films.
Michael's talents extend beyond film; he’s also contributed to some of the most spectacular West End musicals, including Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Starlight Express, and more.
This is your chance to meet the man behind the magic! Michael will be happy to sign autographs and chat with fans.
