Richard Bonehill was all over the original Star Wars trilogy, playing multiple roles including a stormtrooper, a TIE fighter pilot, a rebel soldier, a Tauntaun handler, and Nien Nunb, the co-pilot of Lando while flying the Millennium Falcon. That's a lot of roles for a single actor in the same franchise, but then, in most cases, you never saw his face. Bonehill was a fencing expert and served as president of the Truro Fencing Club in the U.K. right up until his death in February 2015. Bonehill also appeared over the years in shows such as Doctor Who and as a fencing coach/sword master in the likes of The Avengers and The Count of Monte Cristo.
