Exclusive Details<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

\u2018Star Wars\u2019 actor Andrew Jack<\/strong>, who was also a dialect coach to the stars, has died from the coronavirus \u2026 TMZ has learned.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Andrew\u2019s rep, Jill McCullough<\/strong>, tells us her client passed away Tuesday morning at a hospital outside of London as a result of complications he\u2019d developed from COVID-19.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Jill says Andrew\u2019s wife couldn\u2019t be there for her husband because she herself is in quarantine in Australia \u2014 and there may not be a way to accommodate a proper funeral due to conditions created by the global pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Andrew was still very much active and working up until a few weeks ago \u2014 most notably, he was hired as the dialect coach on the new \u2018Batman\u2019 movie starring Robert Pattinson<\/strong><\/a>. That production was shut down less than a month ago.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

His biggest claim to fame \u2014 aside from teaching countless actors different accents and dialects over the years on blockbuster films \u2014 might be the \u2018Star Wars\u2019 franchise itself. He acted in some of the latest installments, and also served as the dialect coach.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

So, in other words, the reason British John Boyega<\/strong><\/a> pulled off such a convincing American accent as Finn is probably due, in part, to Andrew.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

He served as the dialect coach on \u201cAvengers: Endgame,\u201d \u2018Robin Hood,\u2019 \u2018Sherlock Holmes,\u2019 \u201cAlien v. Predator,\u201d \u201cLord of the Rings,\u201d \u201cDie Another Day,\u201d \u201cEastern Promises,\u201d \u201cCaptain America,\u201d \u201cMen in Black: International\u201d and on and on and on.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

He\u2019s worked with Viggo Mortensen<\/strong>, Christian Bale<\/strong>, Robert Downey, Jr<\/strong>. and so many other A-list actors \u2014 and was a master of Chinese and Japanese dialects too. In other words \u2026 he had a ton of range during his 30-plus year career.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Andrew was 76.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
