    What? Do you mean Peter Cushing? He played Grand Moff Tarkin.

    But Peter O'Toole (best-known for playing Lawrence of Arabia) wasn't in the OT. Though he would have made a great Tarkin as well, I think.

    Peter O'Toole=Lawrence of Arabia=Alec Guinness=Star Wars

    Perhaps that's where you're getting confused? ?[face_plain]

    He's a famous British actor. He won an honorary Oscar this year. He's been in many films and his most famous role is as Lawrence of Arabia.

    He's not in the OT.

    Is he in anything that could be confused with Star wars?

    Why do people ignore my posts?

    *cries in the corner*

    Peter O'Toole and Alec Guinness costarred in Lawrence of Arabia. He may have gotten them confused.

    To everyone who said they had no idea who O'Toole is, I can only stare in shock. :eek:

    He is one of the greatest actors to have ever of graced the screen and one of his most recent performances was in the CBS miniseries Hitler: The Rise of Evil and he played Chancellor Hindenburg.

    He is going to be Priam in the upcoming Trojan War movie called The Trojan War.

    Me, too. Heck, I've hardly seen any of his films, but I still know who he is.

    He gave one of the best Oscar acceptance speeches in a long time, I think.

    Strange to know there is somebody who doesn't know who O'Toole is - and stranger still that somebody thinks he was in Star Wars. O'Toole is probably the most talanted actor who has never won an academy award (and believe me he faces some huge competition as most of the greatest actors ever haven't won it - e.g. Cary Grant, Charles Chaplin, Richard Burton and of course our very own Harrison Ford (he deserved it for Witness)). How O'Toole failed to win an oscar for "Lawrence of Arabia" amazes me.

    A great actor, and an even better off-screen personality.

    Here's his Imdb entry

    Picture's a bit old, though ;) Try looking on Google Images for him.

    Knightwriter: He gave one of the best Oscar acceptance speeches in a long time, I think.

    Is there a transcript of this speech? I would love to hear it.

    I guess some teachers just make innocent mistakes sometimes. I once had a teacher identify the lead actor in To Kill a Mockingbird as Henry Fonda. (It was the late, great Gregory Peck.)
