Taran Killam

Taran Hourie Killam (born April 1, 1982) is an American actor, comedian and writer who voiced a Stormtrooper in Star Wars Resistance. Later, Killam had a few voice roles in Star Wars: The Bad Batch. In 2023, Killam joined the cast of Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures as the Latero Hap and the Quarren gangmember Jooro Jarrot.

Before his work on Resistance, Killam was a cast member on Saturday Night Live, where he once did an impression of Harrison Ford. In 2014, he had the chance to meet J.J. Abrams when the director cameoed in a sketch about failed auditions for the then-upcoming The Force Awakens. Not long afterward, Abrams reached out to Killam and asked him to record one of Ford's lines of dialogue in the movie, as he was editing the film and would not have access to Ford for another two months. Killam eagerly obliged, and Abrams later said that he used Killam's recording right up until he was working on the final mix.
