Full Denis Lawson Biography
Denis Stamper Lawson (born September 27, 1947) is a Scottish actor. He is perhaps best known for his roles as Wedge Antilles in the original Star Wars trilogy and as Gordon Urquhart in the film Local Hero.
He recently appeared on an episode of "Loose Ends" hosted by Ned Sherrin on BBC Radio 4 (December 10, 2005), during which his cell phone rang. In 2005, he played the leading role of John Jarndyce in the critically acclaimed BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens' Bleak House, receiving an Emmy nomination. As a joke, George Lucas asked him to play the role of Raymus Antilles (who is in no way related to Wedge) in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. However, Lawson declined.
In 2007, he portrayed Peter Syme in the BBC One drama serial Jekyll, a modern version of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Lawson also appeared as Captain "Dreadnought" Foster in one of ITV's dramatisations of C.S. Forester's Hornblower - The second episode in the series, "The Examination for Lieutenant". He recently appeared in the BBC adaptation of Robin Hood, in episode six, For England!, in which he played the Sheriff of Winchester. |
