Saw this on theforce.net

Moviehole has received word that Scott Glenn [Silence of the Lambs, Backdraft] might be the next to step on board the Death Star.
According to several sources this week, Glenn is in talks with Director George Lucas for a role in "Star Wars Episode III".
"Glenn is a great character actor and would be great in a "Star Wars" film", remarks one scooper. "I also tried to do the math on this one; try to link Glenn to Lucas. What I came up with is reaching but hear me out: 1. Glenn starred in the awful sequel to "American Graffiti" entitled "More American Graffiti" which Lucas produced in 1979. 2. Lucas' long-time director friend and colleague Francis Ford Coppola, used Glenn in "Apocalypse Now" also in 1979. 3. Coppola's daughter, Sofia Coppola (who played the Queen's hand-maiden Saché in "Episode I"), used Glenn in her directorial debut "The Virgin Suicides".

Thanks to Marathin and others for the link

Haven't got a clue who he could play, have to say I doubt he could play Tarkin.

I'd say he would be a new character.

Possibly maybe a new bounty hunter or somebody under Bail Organa.

I was thinking he would be one of the founders of the rebellion.

Possibly though I don't think he can play the Corellian leader (can't remember his name) he is more EU but McCallum did say an EU character will show up in Episode 3 and he would be my guess though Glenn might be too old to play him.

That'd be Garm Bel Iblis :)

Yep that is him, I think he is a little old for that part. If Glenn makes it I doubt he will be an OT character.

That might actually be cool... have Garm Bel Iblis make an apperance... maybe show him meeting with Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, as kind of a prelude to what will eventually become the Rebellion.

But... I think Carr is right... Glenn might be a little old for that part.

He's a good character actor, though... he should be a nice addition in whatever role he has.

Bel Iblis was old when he co-formed the Rebellion. It's possible. Especially with the news in the thread I posted just :)
