You may recognize the great Irish character actress Bronagh Gallagher from bit parts in films like "The Commitments", "Pulp Fiction", "Sherlock Holmes" and "Tamara Drewe". She may not be a household name, but she's on of those people that you must remember having seen somewhere. In "The Phantom Menace", Gallagher plays the Captain of the spaceship transporting Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to their negotiation with the corrupted Trade Federation. She gets to say a couple of lines, before being blasted to death by a superlaser. Chronologically, Gallagher has the distinction of being the second person to speak within the entire "Star Wars"-saga. Only Liam Neeson beats her with one line. The bastard.
