About Angus MacInnes

Angus MacInnes (27 October 1947 – 23 December 2024) was a Canadian actor. He appeared in over 80 film and television productions between 1975 and 2016, but was best known for his roles as Jon "Dutch" Vander (Gold Leader) in Star Wars, and as former hockey great Jean "Rosey" LaRose in the cult comedy Strange Brew.

Early life Of Scottish descent, MacInnes was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, the son of John and Kate MacInnes. He said in a 2010 interview, "I spent a lot of time on set simply watching and learning. In one sense it was like doing a post grad crash course in the techniques and subtleties of acting for the camera. I fell in love with film work, it’s technical demands and creative possibilities." He also appeared on the BBC Scotland soap River City as Sonny Munro. On the West End, MacInnes starred in The Glass Menagerie at the Cambridge Arts Theatre.

Personal life In addition to his acting career, MacInnes ran a pizzeria, Mamma's American Pizza, in Edinburgh. He had a wife, Katy, two children, and a granddaughter.
