Who Is Sebastian Shaw?

Sebastian Shaw is most widely known for his brief but mesmerizing performance as 'Darth Vader's face'/Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Return of The Jedi (1983). Almost anyone now recognizes the image of Vader's battered, bald head, gasping behind the dismantled breathing apparatus. Most of Shaw's fan base stems from the Star Wars connection.
The film career
of Sebastian Shaw spanned over sixty years! One can watch him star in films as a bright-eyed young man, and grow to a wise old gentleman right before your eyes. It's interesting to see this person, who's iconic face is familiar to millions, appear in costumes other than a black snowsuit and helmet.

The staff at SebastianShaw.com has reviewed some of the best (and worst) movies that Shaw has been in.
