WARNING: A mild spoiler for Star Wars: The Force Awakens lies ahead.

Did you recognize the vaguely British accent of a particular stormtrooper when you saw Star Wars: The Force AwakensProbably not, but if you see it again, listen closely, because you might recognize it as actor Daniel Craig, who according to Entertainment Weekly is the man behind the mask.

That's right, Bond, James Bond, has a cameo role in the Star Wars franchise's seventh film as a stormtrooper who gets Jedi mind-tricked by Daisy Ridley's character Rey as she's being held captive. Craig would apparently be the one who threatens Rey by saying, "I'll tighten those restraints," then gives in to Rey's suggestion that he set her free.

J.J. Abrams obviously had no problem hooking up a few big-name actors with small cameos in the blockbuster movie. Aside from Craig, you've got Simon Pegg playing Unkar Plutt, the alien who buys scrap parts from Rey, and comedian Judah Friedlander as an unnamed creature in the background of the cantina scene.
