Fodesinbeed was a two-headed Troig able to commentate in two languages simultaneously: Fode (the thinner, red colored head) in Basic and Beed (the larger, green head) in Huttese.
Biography
The Troig commentated on most podraces, including the fateful Boonta Eve Classic while serving Jabba the Hutt. Fodesinbeed later performed at other events, notably on Malastare. They started a show called the Fode and Beed Show.[2]
Behind the scenes
Fode and Beed were portrayed by comedians Greg Proops and Scott Capurro respectively. During pre-production attempts were made to have them appear in make-up with the rest of their bodies covered in blue-suits for compositing later. Ultimately the marriage of their live-action performances with CGI was not realistic enough and the character became fully computer generated. At that point Proops and Capurro were playing Beed and Fode respectively. The reason for the reversal of their roles remains unknown. The first Fode and Beed action figure used the original actors' faces.
Curiously, Fodesinbeed's surname resambles a pair of italian words: "Anno due" (the split of the original surname in two) literally means "year two".
