'It is made from fiberglass, and the short story is that a friend who is a special effects guy owned the piece, which was a direct casting off the original prop. He was moving, (aka getting married and yelled at) and asked me if I wanted it. I screamed a huge lispy "Yes!", and picked it up, but knew I wanted to do something cool with it. So I called my other nerdy special effects pals, and they offered to replace Harrison Ford's face with mine. I was so tired of hearing this offer in my daily life, but decided to finally consider it, so off it went.'"

He didn't really lower himself into a carbon freezing pit and encase his own real body in carbonite? It's just a prop? Fag.

This is both really gay and really retarded. Why is this even considered newsworthy? This is the geek version of a Paris Hilton article. High five jack-asses!
