Chrome Stormtrooper Actor From Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Revealed

Probably the most bad a– part of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer – besides the Darth Vader mask – was the foreboding bad a– Chrome Stormtrooper.

Now Vulture apparently has the actor who is playing the character, and it’s none other than 6’3″ Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones.

Yep, it’s claimed actress Gwendoline Christie is behind that Chome Stormtrooper mask.
