20 Actors You Never Knew Were In Star Wars
3. Jessica Henwick - The Force Awakens
Jessica Henwick may be best known for playing Colleen Wing in Netflix's Marvel TV shows and portraying Nymeria Sand on Game of Thrones, but the very same year she came to prominence, she also appeared for a few moments in The Force Awakens.
Henwick played Resistance pilot Jess "Testor" Pava, yet despite the character surviving the climactic space battle and the actress expressing a desire to reprise her role in The Rise of Skywalker, she sadly never did.
Curiously, Henwick spent many months auditioning to play Rey, but Abrams liked her work enough to offer her a smaller role as a consolation prize.
