Meet an “Amazing” Who Succeeds As An Actor Despite A Stammer

Kenneth Colley, at 82, has the unique distinction of being the only “Star Wars” Imperial Officer character (Admiral Piett) to appear in two of the “Star Wars” films – “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” That, of course, is not the extent of Kenneth’s career.

On the contrary, after attending art school and serving in the British Army stationed in Cyprus during the Suez Crisis, Kenneth began his dedicated pursuit of acting in his late 20s, which continues through his 80s. He’s played a wide variety of roles, in all sorts of film and TV productions, from police procedurals, to fantasy, to horror and then some. Interestingly enough, in real life, Kenneth has a noticeable stammer, yet as soon as he steps into a part, that stammer disappears. How about that?
