Witwer has voiced Darth Maul in the Star Wars universe in the films, The Clone Wars, and Rebels. He's also voiced Emperor Palpatine in the animated Star Wars universe.
But his Star Wars resume doesn't end there. He is also the voice and likeness for Starkiller.

 

Originally appearing in 2008's The Force Unleashed, Starkiller has gone on to become one of the most popular modern Star Wars characters.

Witwer has also starred in Battlestar Galactica as Crashdown, Smallville as Davis Bloome/Doomsday, Being Human as Aidan Waite, Riverdale as Rupert Chipping, Supergirl as Agent Liberty, and Once Upon a Time as Mr. Hyde.

You've also caught him in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Star Trek: Enterprise, The Walking Dead, Dexter, and of course the 2007 film The Mist...which was filmed right here in the Shreveport area.
