The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is arguably the most important movie of Richard Armitage's career, exposing the actor known from British television like Robin Hood and MI-5 to a global audience for the first time. Surprisingly, though, it's not his biggest movie to date.
That honor goes to another prequel: the infamous Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. As a budding actor, Armitage attended London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art while playing bit parts at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Like any actor looking to break out, Armitage was taking any film and television role that crossed his path. Thus, he became "Bravo Fighter Pilot" in George Lucas' much-maligned sci-fi epic.
The actor fondly remembers his brief time working on Star Wars, an experience that quickly exposed him as a Hollywood newbie. "Walking onto that set… I remember thinking, 'Why didn't they finish building the rest of the set?" Armitage tells Hollywood.com. "'Are they behind? They must be out of money.'"
Armitage is one of many famous faces who were still obscure to mainstream audiences back when The Phantom Menace hit screens back in 1999. Sharp eyes can catch a young Keira Knightley, a spot-on Natalie Portman lookalike, appearing as Padme's handmaiden Sabé. Lost in Translation and Somewhere director also appears as part of the Padme posse, while The Wire star Dominic West battles droids as one of the Palace Guards. Say what you will about the prequels, but they proved a breeding ground for young talent.
When Phantom Menace eventually hit theaters, Armitage was excited to see himself on the big screen. His biggest problem was actually seeing himself behind the many stars. "I certainly turned up and filmed a day, but I can't find myself in the movie!" Armitage says. "I think I ende up as a droid. I thought I was a fighter pilot. I can't find where I am I had a line to Ewan McGregor: 'No one's on board, sir.'"
We're here to help Mr. Armitage. We've managed to point him out in the below screenshot from The Phantom Menace. Needless to say, he has a bit more screentime in An Unexpected Journey.

I was supposed to go film some shoot for work (like shadow along my co-worker) but I could not get there on time so I was like eh go without me idc
He texts me a few hours later trying to rub in he got to meet Patrick Dempsey...I would almost be jealous but I just told myself as long as it's not Richard or Lee it's really no biggie
OCD perhaps?
How would you design your own kindle case?
so I'd probably go with something simple and plain
so jelly though of your kindle. it's on my incredibly long and ever growing list of 'things i want'.
i'm not creative and i'm really fickle so i'd probably get a plain one or something someone designed. or actually, maybe a picture of my dog. or fandom related. how about you? what are you deciding on?
or some landscape/animals/fantasy
or sparkles!! :D
lolololol
Bless Richard Armitage's early career choices, tbh
NO
