Anthony Daniels

Anthony Daniels is an actor and mime artist who played the android C-3P0 in all six of the Star Wars feature films.

Given the difficulties of the proposed costume George Lucas was interested in Daniels because of his combined acting and mime skills. However, Daniels was not interested in the part but a concept painting of C-3P0 painted by Ralph McQuarrie captured his attention, he found the script incomprehensible but liked the golden droid so took the part. Daniels also voiced C-3P0 in the Star Wars radio serial based on the original trilogy and he voiced C-3P0 for three animated series.
