What Greedo Looks Like In Real Life

Before getting the part of Greedo in «Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope,» Blake appeared in the soap opera «Crossroads» as Colin Sands. He played several minor roles in film and television, including appearances in more British projects, such as «Hennessy,» «Jackanory Playhouse,» and «Clayhanger.» Following his role in «Star Wars,» Blake’s career didn’t exactly blow up. Over the next 20 years, he appeared on several British television shows, primarily one-episode stints, including «The Devil’s Crown,» «Down to Earth,» and «Rosamunde Pilcher.» Blake also acted on the stage, with his theatre credits including playing the titular role in a U.K. adaptation of William Shakespeare’s «Macbeth.»

Blake never became a star actor, even after playing an iconic costumed creature in Greedo. Still, his significant part in one of the most memorable «Star Wars» scenes entrenches him firmly in pop culture history. As a result, he remains busy on the convention circuit to this day, which isn’t bad considering his small amount of screen time as Greedo and the fact that he landed the role based on his friendship with a cast member.

Known for a handful of exploration features in the ’70s like «Love Me Like I Do,» Maria De Aragon has similarly had a quiet post-«Star Wars» career, appearing in «City on Fire» in 1979 and «Street Wars» in 1991. Not much is known about De Aragon’s status at the time of writing, but her IMDb page lists that she currently lives in Quebec, Canada.
