20 Actors You Never Knew Were In Star Wars
20. Justin Theroux - The Last Jedi
The infamous Canto Bight sequence in The Last Jedi is such a busy sensory assault that you'd be forgiven for missing a fleeting cameo from Justin Theroux as the master codebreaker briefly spotted at one of the casino's gaming tables.

As an added bonus, model-actress Lily Cole plays the companion on his right.
With his hair slicked back and touting a pencil mustache, Theroux is looking a little different than we're used to seeing him, so he's easily missed in the bustle of the scene.
As much as the cameo was a dream come true for the actor, he also stated that the part was originally supposed to be much bigger:
"It was one of those things. Rian [Johnson] called me a couple of years before making it, and said, 'Hey, there's this character, blah, blah, blah.' And I think over the course of the making the character became reduced, as they sort of locked in on what the overall thing was. And then he sort of called me last minute, I'd sort of forgotten about it...and said, 'Hey, it's really essentially a cameo, and sort of a punchline. Would you like to come in and play this part?' And I thought, 'Sure, that'd be...' I mean, come on!"
