He was devastated to be told that because of his West Country accent he wouldn't be the voice of Darth Vader.
In a similar vein, Austrian Arnie Schwarzenegger was not allowed to dub himself into German for the Terminator films; the Austrian accent is seen as the 'yokel' accent in German.
Which means that Hitler sounded like one of The Wurzels.

He did speak Vader's lines during actual shooting though..there are clips available where you hear Vader saying things like "you are an enemy of the empire and your resistance will be crushed" in a terrific Ian Holloway accent. Good decision to dub over with JEJ's voice I think...
