35 actors who have travelled between the universes of Doctor Who and Star Wars
From the Tardis to the Death Star, these actors have clocked up appearances in both sci-fi classics
30. Paul Kasey
Before there was Admiral Ackbar there was Admiral Raddus (left), a Mon Calamari who headed valiantly into battle to help the rebels steal the plans for the Death Star. He's voiced by American actor Stephen Stanton, but it's British actor Paul Kasey doing the body work. And Kasey will be well-known to fans of Doctor Who, because he's played all manner of creatures in the time-travel series and spin-offs The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood.
31. Silas Carson
The Casual Vacancy star voices the Ood in Doctor Who and popped up in the Star Wars universe as two other unusual-looking aliens – namely Jedi master Ki-Adi-Mundi and Viceroy Nute Gunray.
32. Lindsay Duncan
Duncan played Mars mission Captain Adelaide Brooke in 2009’s special The Waters of Mars – but 10 years earlier she provided the voice for C3-PO-alike droid TC-14 in The Phantom Menace. She likes her space, does Lindsay.
33. Alan Ruscoe
Prosthetics specialist Ruscoe is definitely the MVP on this list – apart from playing water-zombified Andy Stone in Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars he’s also appeared as various other monsters throughout the series’ revived run including Slitheen, Autons, Ann Robinson robots, a walking tree and an evil Clown in The Sarah Jane Adventures. And in Star Wars? He’s been Trade Federation baddie Lott Dodd, as well as Jabba the Hutt’s henchman Bib Fortuna and Jedi master Plo Koon. You can’t keep him out of the masks, apparently…
