10 Actors Who Made Sure They Weren't Seen In Star Wars

6. Tom Hardy - The Last Jedi

Tom Hardy made doubly sure he wouldn't be seen in The Last Jedi, even if one of the reasons why was totally unintentional on his part.

Just as Daniel Craig snagged a Stormtrooper cameo for The Force Awakens, Hardy scored one for the sequel, playing a Stormtrooper who encounters Finn in an elevator aboard Snoke's (Andy Serkis) flagship, The Supremacy.

Hardy's Stormtrooper is even an old pal of Finn's, and apparently not knowing he's defected to the Resistance, congratulates him on his "promotion," given that he's disguised in First Order duds.

If you're puzzled that you don't remember this scene, that's because Rian Johnson ultimately cut it out of the theatrical version, and it can only be viewed as a deleted scene on The Last Jedi's home video release.

All the same, even if Hardy's scene did make the final cut, he's rocking such a ridiculously exaggerated, cartoonish southern American accent that few would figure out it was him regardless.
