10 Background Actors In Star Wars Who Got Themselves Noticed
4. Constable Zuvio
Going on pure cinematic appearances alone, Constable Zuvio really shouldn't be noticeable at all, but the Kyuzo lawman who appears in The Force Awakens for literal fractions of a second was originally supposed to have a more significant role.
Zuvio became a fan favourite character long before The Force Awakens was even released, due to action figures and behind-the-scenes set photos showing off the character's unique design, as well as his appearance in the short story "High Noon on Jakku."
Many were disappointed, then, when Zuvio's larger role during the Niima Outpost chase on Jakku was left on the cutting room floor.
Originally intended to help Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega) escape from Unkar Plutt (Simon Pegg), his role was cleaved down to just seven frames visible in the final cut.
But ultimately this only caused the fandom to grow more fond of Zuvio, who has enjoyed quite the fan art and cosplay following ever since.
