Line of Duty has turned Adrian Dunbar into a household name thanks to his role as Superintendent Ted Hastings, but he very nearly could have been known for playing Leia Organa's adopted father in
Star Wars, if his role wasn't cut out.
The actor filmed for everyone's favourite prequel,
The Phantom Menace, specifically for everyone's favourite scenes in the Senate. Sadly for him, his scene was cut.
