From the ‘Why don’t I have relatives like this?’ department:

When Oscar Isaac appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night to promote his latest film project, Ex Machina, it was only natural that the conversation turned toward Star Wars. After all, he is playing a character called Poe Dameron – who was featured in the teaser trailer for The Force Awakens. He shared a particularly awesome story about how his uncle — a HUGE Star Wars fan — earned a walk-on role after visiting the set with his nephew – and apparently making quite an impression on director J.J. Abrams!

Check it out in the video below:

How cool is that?! Clearly, the Force was strong with him that day….

I wonder if my Coffee With Kenobi t-shirt would have yielded the same result? 😉
