10 Star Wars Actors You Never Knew Were In Doctor Who

9. Julian Glover

A staple of British television such as The Avengers, The Saint, and Blake's 7 in the 1960s and 1970s, Julian Glover has played many memorable roles in his long career. His tendency of playing the villain has seen him take on such roles as the ruthless Aris Kristatos opposite Roger Moore in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, the deceitful Nazi sympathizer Walter Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Colonel Breen in the Hammer Films version of Quatermass and the Pit, amongst many others. And he's still at it, playing Grand Maester Pycelle in the HBO ratings smash The Game of Thrones! You probably know him best as evil Imperial General Maximilian Veers in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. However, Glover has appeared twice on the long running sci-fi staple Doctor Who! First, in the 1965 serial The Crusade, as the heroic King, Richard The Lionheart, where he helped the 1st Doctor and Ian save Barbara from the Saracens. He again appeared on our small screen as the villainous Scaroth, in the fan favorite story The City of Death, but you wouldn't know that at first due to heavy make-up and prosthetic effects.

Carl has been a comic shop impresario, comic book illustrator, record store clerk, electronic musician, late night radio DJ, club promoter, graphic designer, and other cool things you wish you could be. He mistakenly had purple dreadlocks once. For three years. Which made him way less cool. He doesn't actually know what the word impresario means, and is way too lazy to Google it. Carl is also an American, and for that he apologizes.
