British background player Alf Mangan was born to Herbert Alfred Mangan and Emily Jane Mangan on October 21, 1916 in Croydon, London, England. Mangan first began appearing in films in often uncredited minor roles in the mid-1950's. A burly fellow with a scruffy look and usually unkempt hair, Alf was frequently cast as prison inmates, working class blokes, or patrons in either pubs or saloons which include the Mos Eisley cantina alien barfly Takeel in Star Wars: Épisode IV - Un nouvel espoir (1977). Mangan died at age 71 on June 16, 1988. Show less «
