I think he was Piett in "Empire Strikes Back" as well. I liked how he was trying to listen to Darth Vader's instructions while also looking at Admiral Ozzell getting choked out.
Yep, he played the role in both of those Original Trilogy movies. He also voiced the same character in the animated parody "Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out".
Among many other roles, he also appeared in the UK medical soap/drama "Casualty" on three times, playing a different character on each occasion.
