He’s a voice we don’t hear from very often in the Star Wars galaxy, but his character was absolutely pivotal in the recently completed second season of Star Wars Andor. That voice belongs to Anton Lesser, the actor behind ISB Major Lio Partagaz, and in an interview filmed 18 months ago he discussed the role with Jonatan Blomberg from MovieZine.

I had the honor of speaking with Anton Lesser about 18 months ago, regarding a different project of his, when we got into talking about his incredible role as Major Partagaz in Andor too. Since he doesn’t seem to have done that many interviews about this show, I’m posting this part of the interview again for all the fans who missed it back then!
