The following contains spoilers for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Season 1 Episode 4 "Can't Say I Remember No Attlin."

Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew Episode 4 once again brings Jodh Na Nabood (Jude Law) and his teenage runaway crew to a new planet, where we meet enough new faces to get a chance to make an impact. One key figure on the episode's planet, At Achrann, is Troika clan member Hyna (Hala Finley), who soon gains respect for Neal (voice of Robert Timothy Smith) and his anti-violence streak. While Finley has a good few projects on her acting CVfans of the movie might perk up even more when they see her father, the leader of the Troikas, General Strix.

If The Strix looks familiar, you probably paid attention to international cinema in the 1990s and 2000s. The general with a penchant for training child soldiers is played by none other than three-time César Award-winning actor and director Mathieu Kasowitz. Seeing a name like Kasowitz pop up in a Daniels-directed episode ("Everywhere at Once," "Swiss Army Man") brings to mind the directing pair's history of deploying some truly inspired casting choices for viewers, and it's going to be intriguing is to find out if Skeleton Crew intends to use this character more going forward.

While you might not make the connection thanks to the chiseled features and famous beard that Mathieu Kassovitz sported in his role in Skeleton Crew, chances are the film you know him best from is by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. quirky French indie romcom Amelie (2001). In the film about the titular eccentric cafe waitress (a career-making performance by Audrey Tautou), Kasowitz plays Nino Quincampoa, the mysterious passport photo booth attendant who eventually turns out to be Amélie's soul mate. This, of course, is just one spot in Kasowitz's long acting resume, which includes projects like Steven Spielberg's Munich (2005) and Robin Williams' war comedy-drama Jacob the Liar (1999). As a filmmaker, it is probably his most revered work Hate, aka La Haine, a 1995 social thriller starring Vincent Cassel that Kassovitz both wrote and directed.

Although primarily known for his work in artistic and more serious projects, Skeleton Crew isn't as much of an aberration in Kasowitz's career as you might think. In fact, he's been known to take on the occasional big sci-fi project. He had small roles in both Luc Besson's The Fifth Element and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and he even wrote and directed Vin Diesel's 2008 sci-fi film Babylon Inc.
