Barrie Holland
Barrie Holland who is a British actor/model and is based in England has worked in over 200 films/TV series over the past 40 years.
He is well known worldwide for his famous scene with Harrison Ford in ' Return of the Jedi ' as Lt. Renz arresting Han Solo with the immortal line " You Rebel Scum " ! When he first rehearsed the scene which took two days to complete, and he called Han Solo " You Rebel Scum " Harrison lightly slapped his face and said " Nobody calls me that " ! The famous British cameraman Alan Hume ( who sadly passed away recently ) was the Cinematographer on ' Jedi ' and every time Barrie worked with him in the following years he would always call Barrie ' Rebel Scum ' ! He was a very nice man and it was always a standing joke between them .
In a Star Wars Supplement issued with the British Film Magazine 'Empire,' in November, 2005, his Scene as Imperial Officer Lt.

His Mini-Bust was also the First to be issued with a personally Signed Photograph Card and it was also the First 'Talking' Mini-Bust of any Star Wars Actor from the Six Films...press a Button and it says "You Rebel Scum!" It was a big honour for him and was issued in a Limited Edition format of 2,500 Figures.
He worked on many other big Hollywood productions over the years such as all the first three ' Indiana Jones ' movies, Five James Bond movies, Batman ( Michael Keaton ), Superman ( Christopher Reeve ),The Shining ( Jack Nicholson ), Ragtime ( James Cagney ), Reds ( Warren Beatty ), King Ralph ( John Goodman ), Ike The War Years ( Robert Duvall ), The Monster Club ( Vincent Price ), Bloodline ( James Mason ), Sahara ( Steve Forrest ), Victor/Victoria ( James Garner/Robert Preston ), Empire of the Sun ( John Malkovich/Christian Bale ), Dirty Dozen Next Mission ( Lee Marvin/Ernest Borgnine ), Flash Gordon ( Sam Jones ), Hamlet ( Mel Gibson ), Mutiny on the Bounty ( Anthony Hopkins ), The Elephant Man ( John Hurt ), The Bitch ( Joan Collins ), Clash of the Titans ( Harry Hamlin ), The Wicked Lady ( Alan Bates ), Yanks ( Richard Gere ), Heavens Gate ( Christopher Walken ), Eye of the Needle ( Donald Sutherland ), The Last Days of Patton ( George C. Scott ) to name a few . He specialised in playing modern day and periodic British and American military officers, periodic noblemen, lawyers, etc.
