Who was Moff Jerjerrod in Return of the Jedi?

It's been a few years since I've watched it, and I can't remember this guy. What does he look like? Does he have any lines?

I ask because I've been watching all these Royal Shakespeare Company tapes from @ 1980, and there's this bad-ass actors named Michael Pennington that puts everyone (patrick stewart, ian mckellan-- maybe not ben kingsley) to shame and he played this Moff Jerjerrod. Anyone?

He's the Imperial commander at the start of the film who Vader greets when he lands at the Death Star, the guy who complains about needing more men and then changes his tone when Vader sez the Emperor's coming himself. So there ya go.

Just so this thread's not a total waste:

Does anyone recognize this guy from anything else? He apparently does a little British TV (sherlock holmes, etc) and appears in a made-for-TV shakespeare movie every seven years or so.

This guy is so great, I guess it just seems like a shame that he's not more well-known. Is this mainly an American thing, though? Pitying an actor's career just because he works almost exclusively in the theatre?

(jimmy mod, you gotsta read the whole post. I know who played him, I just couldn't remember what the character did. IMDB doesn't give plot summaries for each character.)

What does "Moff" mean?

Actually I seem to remember him playing Holmes in some weird American TV movie where he time travels to help a wacky female descendant of Watson or something. Ah the mid-eighties.

The production I'd love to see him in would be the one that Berkoff directed of Henry V after the Falklands. Strident by all accounts (c'mon, it's Berkoff) but still would be interesting in capturing a time and place.

As for 'Moff,' I always thought it meant something higher than admiral (since that's a rank in the other movies etc.). In the original film it's Governor Tarkin but an alternate title elsewhere was Grand Moff. Equivalent to field marshal or something? *shrugs*

"Weird American TV movie where he time travels to help a wacky female descendant of Watson or something" He was cryogenically frozen! It's The Return of Sherlock Holmes, not the Brett version.

Sometimes I escorted Lord Vader. That was my duty, too, but most of my time was spent with Admiral Piett and his commanders. They were amazingly polite, with a normal human attitude toward us, as if we were absolutely normal real people, rather than some kind of droids with human shells. But only much later, did I get an opportunity to know how really tolerant and good they were. That was the moment when I met Jerjerrod. That moment, when I met him...

* * *

Of course, I had met many men before. I liked to look audaciously, but cold-bloodedly into their eyes to provoke their lust, while thinking about tearing off their uniforms and caressing their hot, magnificent bodies. I so enjoyed it when I saw the fire of the same dark crazy thoughts reflected in their eyes. That was an absorbing and dangerous game. But I always wanted more. Much more. Something to make me crazy, when my body is shaking and burning like it is on fire and wild shouts break free from my unwilling throat.

Probably I was waiting for him. Even I had no idea about his existence in this world, until that one moment. That was the moment of truth. I met him for the first time during an inspection on the second Death Star. I was among a retinue of Imperial officers which was escorting Lord Vader. To escort the Dark Lord never was a very pleasant duty, but fate decreed that this ordinary trip would turn my life up side down. I met him, and that meeting tore my heart and filled my soul with the sweet poison of love. This tender, intoxicating poison has already overflowed into my veins and it will destroy me after some time, but for a while I can live with it. Well, it looks like my creators didn't give me the matching antidote. I know I will never be the same person again.
