20 Actors You Never Knew Were In Star Wars

Richard Armitage is undoubtedly best known for portraying Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, and among other things, Nazi spy Heinz Kruger in Captain America: The First Avenger.

But Armitage's first movie role was many years earlier in The Phantom Menace, where he played an unnamed Naboo fighter pilot stood behind Padme's decoy Sabé (Keira Knightley) during one scene.

Armitage isn't easy to spot because he looked nothing like Thorin back in 1997, so don't feel bad if you missed this. The character was later given the name Tonra in the 2019 novel Queen's Shadow, though this link isn't strictly canon.
