Omaha, Nebraska - In an unlikely event, the actor chosen to play Anakin Skywalker's deaf brother Wayne in an upcoming TV mini-series "The Skywalkers", was Local fry cook Rodney Simon.
The shows producer Rod Munch noticed him wielding a broom handle re-enacting the final battle between Luke and Darth vader in Return of the jedi, with a Jessica Simpson cardboard cut out.
"I was totally stoked! I mean I always new I had the force, but now I get to show it off!" Said the 19 year old food service worker.
When asked if there was any concern over the young rodney's ability to act, the shows producer laughed and then asked "Wait you're serious?"
He later added that the character was deaf and was raised by a gay wookie couple. So the script would only consist of incoherent screams and uncomfortable silences.
The show is scheduled to air on NBC every Tuesday night starting this July.
