R.I.P. Star Wars actor and dialect coach Andrew Jack

Andrew Jack, who appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and its sequel, The Last Jedi, has died at the age of 76 due to complications from COVID-19. In addition to acting, Jack was a dialect and vocal coach who worked on numerous high-profile films, including Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Jack’s passing was reported by CNN, which obtained a statement from his agent, Jill McCullough. “Andrew lived on one of the oldest working houseboats on the Thames, he was fiercely independent but madly in love with his wife, also a dialect coach, Gabrielle Rogers,” said McCullough. “Tragically she is stuck in quarantine in Australia, having just flown in from New Zealand last week. She was unable to see or talk to him at the end of his life and there is a chance a funeral may not be held.”
