10 Actors Who Appeared In Star Wars And Doctor Who
5. Silas Carson
Though the vast majority of moviegoers won't know who he is, Silas Carson has built himself an incredible career over the last 20 years or so, starring opposite Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hardy, Daniel Day Lewis, and Viggo Mortensen in films like Locke, Phantom Thread, and Hidalgo, respectively.
He's an underrated MVP within the Star Wars galaxy too, and that's because Carson had a whopping four roles across the prequel trilogy, from 1999's The Phantom Menace, to 2005's Revenge of the Sith. He played Trade Federation representatives Nute Gunray and Lott Dod, doomed Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Republic pilot Antidar Williams, who dies early in the first film.
Carson's Whoniverse callsheet is also rather chunky, with the actor providing the voice of alien species the Ood across various Doctor Who stories from 2006 to 2021. He also lent his pipes to several aliens in the 2005 episode The End of the World, and even appeared in Who spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures as General Uvlavad Kudlak. Try saying that ten times fast.
