Former “Doctor Who” co-star Noel Clarke has his sights set on the “Star Wars” franchise next, and personally he likes his odds of landing a role, according to the Belfast Telegraph.
“I know that they’ve got three main films happening over the next five or six years and they have one spin-off film in between each one, so I’ve got five chances to get in one, that’s all I’m concerned about,” says Clarke, who worked with new “Star Wars” director JJ Abrams on “Star Trek Into Darkness” previously.
“I want to be in one at some point, and so if I can do that I’ll be happy. I’ll be a grandad by that time, but if I can get in one I’ll be chuffed.”
