British actor Khan Bonfils, known for playing the character of Jedi master Saesee Tiin in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace has died at the age of 42. The cause of death is currently not known.
Bonfils collapsed Tuesday while rehearsing the Craft Theatre company’s production of Dante’s Inferno, which was scheduled to open tomorrow at the Rag Factory in East London.
