His ties with George Lucas remained strong over the course of his early career, and indeed, he re-teamed with the Star Wars guru on several occasions -- first as assistant supervising sound editor on the 1994 period comedy-mystery Radioland Murders (which Lucas executive produced and Mel Smith directed), then as supervising sound editor on Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace (1999), Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones (2002), and Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith (2005). Concurrent with Sith, Wood branched out into on-camera work as a voice artist, first with a role in that film as General Grievous, then in 2008 by voicing the same character in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Wood received at least two major award nominations for his work as the sound editor on Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood: an Oscar nod and a BAFTA nod. His resumé also includes sound credits on such films as Mission: Impossible (1996), Con Air (1997), and Munich (2005). ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
