Richard E. Grant ( Logan, Game of Thrones) has been cast in an undisclosed role in JJ Abrams’s Episode IX, among a bevy of other great genre actors, placing him at a pivotal place in the history of the franchise. He’ll be a part of the film that closes out the Skywalker Saga.
So how did the distinguished actor react? Well, naturally, he freaked out. As he said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, transcribed by Cinema Blend:
That is the most relatable reaction to a Star Wars casting I’ve ever seen. Honestly, if JJ told me I was going to be in Star Wars, I don’t think I’d be hearing anything anyone else said for a week.
Episode IX is slated for release December 20,2019.
