Though Angus MacInnes has more than 80 acting credits to his name across a career spanning more than 40 years, he will always be best recognised for his turn as Jon "Dutch" Vander - aka Gold Leader - in Star Wars: A New Hope.

MacInnes also got the opportunity to briefly reprise the role 39 years later, when archive footage from A New Hope was repurposed for use in prequel Rogue One, with MacInnes recording new dialogue for Gold Leader.

Outside of Star Wars, MacInnes also appeared in, among many, many other films, Rollerball, Superman II, Strange Brew, Witness, Eyes Wide Shut, Hellboy, and Captain Phillips.

Angus MacInnes died on December 23, 2024 at the age of 77.
