Anthony Daniels, born in 1946, has the honorable distinction of being the only actor to perform in all eleven Star Wars movies! Ten of his appearances were as the iconic, golden protocol droid C-3PO, plus his seminal performance as Tak in Solo.
Besides multiple appearances on The Muppet Show and Sesame Street as the fan-favorite droid, Anthony has further voiced the legendary C-3PO for many animated series including Droids, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (film), Star Wars: The Clone Wars (series), Rebels, Forces of Destiny, and Resistance. Other notable C-3PO voicework by Daniels includes: Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet, The Lego Movie, multiple video games, and Disney theme park attractions including the popular Star Tours.
Anthony has written about his many exploits, after meeting George Lucas forty-seven years ago, in his first book titled I Am C-3PO: The Inside Story. Published in 2019, this book has now been currently translated from the original English into Spanish, French, Japanese and Korean, leaving just under 5,995 languages to go!
As an interesting sidebar, Anthony has ties to another epic genre as well as Star Wars. In 1978, he was the voice of the heroic Elven warrior and member of the Fellowship, Legolas, in Ralph Bakshi’s animated adaptation of The Lord of the Rings!
