Tarkin

I only know this man from Star Wars, but he had an extensive horror movie career.  On this date in 1913, Peter Cushing was born.  His first job was as a surveyor’s assistant in Surrey, England, but he was best known for his roles in The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula.  But for me, he will always be Tarkin in the first Star Wars film.
