LONDON -- Michael Sheard, who played Admiral Ozzel in "The Empire Strikes Back" and Adolf Hitler five times, including in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," has died, his agent said. He was 65.

Sheard died on Wednesday at his home on the Isle of Wight off the southern coast of England, agent Liz Hobbs said. He had been suffering from cancer.

Sheard appeared in more than 40 feature films, working with actors including Lawrence Olivier, David Niven, Roger Moore and Sean Connery.

He is best known in Britain for his role as Maurice Bronson, the teacher who terrorized his pupils in the long-running teenage soap, "Grange Hill."

Sheard is survived by his wife, Ros, and three children. Funeral details were not immediately available.

Rest in Peace Admiral Ozzel.. but this is still not ROTS related, thus should be moved to the OT forum...

shaddup baily..

friggin thread nazi hitler

Ozzel was in the control bay of the star destroyer at the end of ROTS, so it's totally related. You didn't see him. Watch again. He was just a lieutenant at the time, and Vader shoots him an evil look. 'Cause he's evil. All his looks are that way.

Yes ma'am 😑
