Admiral Motti in Star Wars.

Evidently he lived in Austin.

A great character who was very well acted. Even if his lack of faith was disturbing…

Well, I'll be darned. In addition to the original 'Star Wars' he also appeared in some very popular movies from the '70s and '80s:

As "Bartholomew's aide" in the original 'Rollerball' (1975):

As a reporter in 'Superman II' (1980):

And as "Lieutenant Santino" in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' (1988):

Wow! To think that two veteran actors of 'Star Wars' (the other being Peter "Chewbacca" Mayhew) made Texas their home is amazing. Godspeed, Mr. LeParmentier, and thank you very much.

One of the most memorable scenes in the film, which is to the actor's credit. Just a few lines, but you got the full sense of the Admiral's character, beliefs, attitude and realization of what his real place was in Vader's view— a cockroach—, all in the space of two minutes. That's acting.

Thank you, Mr. LeParmentier, and RIP.
