Richard LeParmentier, who played Conan Antonio Motti in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, was born on this day in 1946.
The British actor portrayed the character later credited as "General Motti" in the first installment of George Lucas' Star Wars film franchise.
General Motti was the Chief of the Imperial Navy who held the rank of admiral aboard the Death Star during the Galactic Civil War.
The character was bold and arrogant enough to openly question the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, for his failure to discover the location of the Rebellion's secret base during a meeting on the Death Star.
