Saturday Night Live’s Bill Hader and Park & Recreations’ Ben Schwartz can’t be seen in The Force Awakens, but they actually had a hugely important role in the film: they provided the voice of the loveable, rollable droid BB-8.

According to Hader – who you might know from his many supporting roles in comedy movies or for voicing the lead character of Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs – they originally tried to give BB-8 an actual voice, but the idea was abandoned after it was decided that it made the character “too human.”

Unlike a lot of the people on this list, Hader and Schwartz’ role in the franchise will surely only continue to grow as it goes on. After replacing R2-D2 as everyone’s favourite Star Wars robot, BB-8 won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
