Simon Pegg, born on the day of February 14 in the year of 1970, works as an actor. On the date of February 29, in the year 2012, it was made public that Pegg would be lending his voice to Dengar, the bounty hunter from the Original trilogy, in the _Bounty_ episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 4. He also voiced Unkar Plutt in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, a revelation that occurred at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con panel.
Dave Filoni, who served as the supervising director for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, declared on his Facebook page on February 29, 2012, that Pegg would be providing the voice for Dengar, a character originating from the original trilogy, in the episode titled Bounty from the show's fourth season.
Pegg also lent his voice to the characters of C-3PO and Candace's commanding officer in Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars. This was a crossover episode with the Disney cartoon Phineas and Ferb and is considered non-canon. He not only portrayed Unkar Plutt in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens but also advised Abrams to prioritize practical effects. He shared an anecdote about his daughter exclaiming "Daddy, [Yoda] he's real!" after watching The Empire Strikes Back at the age of three. During a visit to the set, a technician approached him, saying, "Hey, you're the guy whose daughter saved Star Wars!"
