British actor Pip Andersen has hit headlines of late after securing a role in the latest instalment of Star Wars alongside Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, marking his feature film debut.

Somerset born Andersen, who is also a professional parkour athlete, was plucked from obscurity after beating around 70,000 hopefuls for a part in the franchise at open auditions. While Star Wars production company Lucasfilm has refused to disclose who Andersen will be playing in the films, a preview of his talents can be seen in a Spider-Man themed Sony advert, which can be found online.
