5 Best Actors Who Have Been Multiple Roles in Star Wars

The Star Wars universe is as vast as the galaxy itself, and over the decades, some of its most talented actors have had the privilege of bringing multiple characters to life. 

Whether in live-action, animation, or even video games, these performers have showcased their versatility and left an indelible mark on the franchise. 

Let’s take a look at five of the best actors who have taken on multiple roles in Star Wars.

1. Sam Witwer

If there’s one name that stands out among Star Wars voice actors, it’s Sam Witwer. His work has left a significant mark on the galaxy far, far away, bringing some of its most complex and iconic characters to life.

Witwer first gained attention as Galen Marek, better known as Starkiller, in The Force Unleashed video games. 

As Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, Starkiller’s story added layers to Vader’s character, showing his manipulative nature and the emotional depth of his dark legacy.

But Witwer’s contributions didn’t stop there. He became the definitive voice of Darth Maul, starting with The Clone Wars and later in Star Wars Rebels.

Witwer also voiced the enigmatic Son in the Mortis arc of The Clone Wars, embodying a manifestation of the dark side itself. 

His chilling portrayal brought an otherworldly weight to one of the series’ most philosophical arcs. And if that wasn’t enough, Witwer lent his voice to Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Rebels and even performed as the Sith Lord in The Force Unleashed, further showcasing his versatility.

2.  Mark Hamill

We all know Mark Hamill for his legendary role as Luke Skywalker, the Jedi who shaped the heart of Star Wars into one of the most successful movie franchises in history. 

But did you know he also brought another iconic Star Wars character to life?

In The Clone Wars series, Hamill voiced Darth Bane, the ancient Sith Lord who created the Rule of Two.

His chilling performance gave a haunting depth to the character, proving that Hamill’s talents extend far beyond the light side of the Force.

But that’s not all—Hamill’s contributions to Star Wars go even deeper. 

In 2021, Hamill revealed on Twitter that he had provided voice cameos for every Star Wars film released since 2015, using the pseudonym “William M. Patrick,” a tribute to his brothers. 

One notable cameo was as the droid EV-9D9 in The Mandalorian episode “Chapter 5: The Gunslinger.”

3. Matt Lanter

Did you know about Anakin Skywalker? I mean, to be specific, the voice actor behind Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars series. Yes, Matt Lanter.

While we know him for bringing Anakin to life in the animated galaxy, Lanter also appeared in live-action Star Wars. 

In The Mandalorian Season 1, during the episode “The Prisoner,” he played a New Republic soldier aboard the transport ship. 

It’s such a cool connection, tying his incredible work in animation to the live-action side of the Star Wars universe.

4. Clancy Brown

Clancy Brown has contributed extensively to Star Wars in both animation and live-action. In The Mandalorian, he played Burg, the Devaronian mercenary in the prison break episode, “The Prisoner.”

In animation, Brown voiced Savage Opress, the Nightbrother turned Sith apprentice, in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. 

He also portrayed Ryder Azadi, the former Imperial Governor of Lothal who joined the Rebel Alliance, in Star Wars Rebels, a role he reprised in live-action for Ahsoka.

Additionally, Brown voiced Montross, the Mandalorian bounty hunter, in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, and the Eleventh Brother, an Inquisitor, in Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.

5. Janina Gavankar

Janina Gavankar has contributed to Star Wars in multiple capacities. She portrayed Iden Versio, the protagonist of Star Wars: Battlefront II, and also narrated the audiobook for the 2017 novel Battlefront II: Inferno Squad, which expanded on Iden’s backstory. 

Additionally, she lent her voice to the short story “End of Watch” in the audiobook version of From a Certain Point of View.

Gavankar also provided additional voice work for Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker and later returned to voice Pav-ti Tano, Ahsoka Tano’s mother, in the animated anthology series Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.
