Eben Figueiredo

Eben Figueiredo (born c. 1996) is a British actor. He is a Star Wars fan and was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on a project for the franchise, describing how it was something of a childhood dream come true. As a child, he grew a Padawan braid, having wanted to be like a young Jedi in training. In 2018, the actor portrayed an Imperial mudtrooper in the Anthology film Solo: A Star Wars Story. Figueiredo joined the cast of Solo after auditioning for and coming close to a variety of roles with UK casting director Nina Gold, having been called by her to try out. He was ultimately cast as an Imperial mudtrooper along with two other actors, Shaquille Ali-Yebuah and Aaron Heffernan. The three mudtrooper actors spent about a month filming their scenes in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
