	Actors - Sebastian Shaw

Sebastian Lewis Shaw (May 3 1905 – December 23 1994) was a film and stage actor born in Holt, Norfolk, England.

He began performing in 1913, and graduated to leading roles on stage in the late 1920s. He made his first film appearance in the 1930 movie Caste, and has appeared in over forty other productions.

Beginning the eighth decade of his career, he played Anakin Skywalker in the 1983 film Return of the Jedi. For the 2004 DVD release the "ghost" of Anakin was replaced by Hayden Christensen, though Shaw is still the one shown as Anakin/Vader in the scene when Vader is unmasked.

The Marvel Comics character Sebastian Shaw, a foe of the X-Men and leader (referred to as the "Black King") of the exclusive "Hellfire Club" was named after the actor as a tribute.
