10 (At The Time) Unknown Actors Who Were In The Star Wars Prequels

6. Richard Armitage (Naboo Fighter Pilot)

Armitage Star Wars In what is arguably the tiniest role presented in this article; Thorin Oakenshield, himself (Richard Armitage) had the difficult job of portraying another tall and handsome guard in Queen Amidala's court. In fact, the part was so small that Armitage would remain uncredited in the film's credits. It was only recently (and because of the actor's recent rise to fame) that Armitage's part in the film was identified. The name "Naboo Fighter Pilot" suggests that he also can be seen during the climactic space battle at the end. The only scene in which he is definitely confirmed to appear is when Padmé reveals herself as the true Queen to convince the Gungans to join them in their fight against the Trade Federation. As pictured above, Armitage can be seen standing in the background. Must have been a challenge for an actor of his caliber.
