  • Trivia
    Member of The Royal Shakespeare Company
  • Quotes
    [on his role in Star wars episodi I: Pimeä uhka (1999)] Panaka's Captain of the Guard. The way I conceived of the role is that he is very tough, and I figured the tougher I was, the tougher it would make the Jedi seem. Obviously, no one out-toughed the Jedi, but Captain Panaka was going to give them a run for their money!
