Thanks for the reply, but I have it on good authority from someone who has spent a lot of time researching call sheets, talking ot acotrs, etc. that Anthony Lang is not the actor who played BoShek. Anthony Lang is a very distinct, gaunt-faced actor who played bit parts in many British movies and TV shows of the 1960s-early 1970s. From photographic evidence supplied on the Britmovies forum, it is quite safe to say Lang is the hookah smoker (named Dannik Jerriko in later Star Wars lore). The problem is someone a long time ago tried to put names to faces in the Cantina, but was unforttunately wrong in many cases, the situation being complicated by reshoots and cast actors not showing up on time, etc. here is a shot of Anthony Lang for mthe 1965 film "The Psychopath." Clearly not the much younger actor who played BoShek!!

And another photo of the jury in 10 Rillington Place. Lang is the thin man in dark suit at the front.

I think we have the most accurate listing of the minor Star Wars actors assembled, especially seeing as IMDB is hopelessly muddled and the whole issue has been confused for many years. Sincere regards,
