British actor Michael Leader may be best known for his role on the soap opera EastEnders but that’s not actually the most famous project he’s been involved in. Leader portrayed a Stormtrooper in the original Star Wars and, in fact, can be seen bumping his head against a doorframe in one of the saga’s most well-known bloopers that made the cut:
