Austrian actor George Roubicek was a character actor for many years, appearing on shows like The Saint and The Avengers. He also has the distinction of appearing in two separate James Bond films (You Only Live Twice and The Spy Who Loved Me) as different characters.

Roubicek played the supporting role of Captain Hopper in the fan-favorite Patrick Troughton story Tomb Of The Cybermen. He is seen briefly at the end of this clip mocking the term “flying machine”.

Roubicek had one uncredited scene in A New Hope as Commander Praji. In it, he informs Darth Vader of the jettisoned escape pod.
