Richard's
Biography
Star
Wars was Richard LeParmentier's third film after
moving to Britain from the United States in 1975.
His
role as Admiral Motti, the Imperial Officer who
believed more in the power of his Death Star than
the power of The Force earned him a memorable place
in what has been voted "The Film of The Millennium".

When
Darth Vader raised his finger and Admiral Motti momentarily
lost the ability to breathe, movie audiences got their
first inkling of the Dark Side.
With
the passing of Peter Cushing and Don Henderson, Richard
is the last surviving Imperial Officer from the original
Star Wars. He has appeared in over fifty films and television
shows in Britain and the United States. He has appeared
in such international hits as Rollerball, Reds and Who
Framed Roger Rabbit.
He
now lives in Bath and works as a screenwriter. He has
written extensively for the UK film and television industry,
the US and for German television. Currently he is developing
a television series for the BBC and is writing a feature
film.

recently, Richard has spent more and more time writing
