Angus MacInnes played Jon “Dutch” Vander, the pilot known as Gold Leader in the first Star Wars film. His character was killed in the battle of the Death Star, but was brought back thanks to some archive footage and new dialogue he recorded for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Although MacInnes studied acting in Canada, he ended up in London doing a post-grad year at LAMDA. He landed roles in a number of US films shot in England including Rollerball, Star Wars, Force Ten from Naverone and Superman II. He was also acting on stage in London’s famed West End. Back in Canada he picked up roles in the film Atlantic City and Witness where he played the bad guy who died in the grain silo. He played the role of Lt. Cmdr. Walter B. Shannon in 25 episodes of Space Island One in 1998.
