Phil Lapp remembers being 6 years old and coping with a tinge of disappointment. You see, to be an extra in the movie filming in his hometown of Strasburg, Pa, he had to be 7. So he was relegated to ‘keeping Lukas occupied’. The movie was Witness. Lukas was Lukas Haas, who was the young boy that witnessed a murder. It was a big event for this small Lancaster County community. Han Solo/Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) was in it, so he would be around as well. Phil’s dad was an extra, most notably he’s the one in silhouette, after the funeral scene, driving the cart that Kelly and Lukas are lifting bales of hay onto. His does cherish those memories of playing a lot of card games with Lukas while Kelly McGillis looked on and would occasionally join in.

We’ve seen them at sci-fi or collectibles conventions shows; some more so in England than the Us. They man tables with stacks of photos, offering autographs or pictures for a fee. In many cases their faces aren’t familiar, as their characters wore heavy makeup or masks in their appearance in the original “Star Wars” film. Still, even as you approach them face-to-face some of these people still don’t ring a bell. Maybe it’s because their scenes were deleted or they were an extra amongst many. Others, you discover are a familiar masked character and you are happy to chat for a few moments with them, as that movie, and its two sequels (I am only referring to the original trilogy starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher), had such a lasting impact on your childhood.
