It’s with heavy hearts that we hear of the passing of comic-con favourite Angus MacInnes.

Angus was very highly regarded at all of the shows he attended as one of the friendliest actors to meet, who had many a story to tell and time for all of his fans.

Angus had many acting credits to his name but was known mostly for his role as Gold Leader “Dutch” in Star Wars.

We would like to extend our condolences to all of his family, and anyone else affected by his loss.

If you met him, we’d love to see your pictures and hear about your experiences.
