Lee Jung-Jae and Amandla Stenberg are set to take the lead in Star Wars: The Acolyte on Disney+. However, there is one particular actor that caught fans' eyes. Paul Bullion in The Acolyte trailer seems familiar, but who is he?
As Jedi Master Sol (Lee Jung-Jae) comes up against his former apprentice Mae (Amandla Stenberg), another Jedi Master is lurking in the background of The Acolyte, and that is Jedi Master Lakshay (Paul Bullion).
Here's where you may have previously seen the Lakshay actor.
Paul Bullion From The Acolyte Looks Quite Familiar...
The news came about to fans when they noticed a familiar figure standing behind Dafne Keen's Padawan Jecki in The Acolyte's trailer. The tall redhead actor was wearing a white cloak that kept his character under wraps, but where have we seen him before?
Gears in fans' heads started to turn when they realized that one of the witchers had joined the Star Wars franchise!
British actor Paul Bullion is best known for his role in the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher. Bullion portrayed Lambert, one of the witchers from the School of the Wolf who Vesemir trained.
Though the original character design of Lambert doesn't include Bullion's signature red hair, he still turned out to be one of the attention-grabbing witchers on the Netflix show.
Another Netflix show that Bullion starred in was Peaky Blinders, where he played the role of Billy Kitchen across 3 episodes in season 2.
Bullion also previously had smaller roles in 2021's Dune: Part One as a Sardaukar Soldier, as Nicolae in the 2014 flick Dracula Untold opposite Luke Evans, and then as Berwyn Cairn in the 2015 mini-series The Bastard Executioner.

As Paul Bullion enters the Lucasfilm franchise in The Acolyte, there is still a mystery behind the character he's about to portray in the Disney+ series.
Who is Jedi Master Lakshay and has he long existed prior to The Acolyte? Well, your guess is as good as ours.
Lakshay is actually one of the new characters created in the upcoming live-action show, so, nothing has been disclosed about this character apart from appearing to be a part of the human species and having red hair.
However, fans did come up with their own theories based on the few seconds Lakshay showed up in the trailer.
According to some fans, Bullion's role may be in becoming the Sith Lord plotting to wreak havoc within the Jedi Order that would help the Acolytes. Keep in mind though that this is merely speculation as nothing has been confirmed yet.
We'll have to keep an eye out for Lakshay once The Acolyte premieres its first two episodes on Disney+ on June 4.
