and he speaks in it. Just doesn't sound like his normal over the top Pixar voice.

So was Treat Williams as an Echo Base Trooper (uncredited)
he is best known for
Cpl. Chuck 'Stretch' Sitarski in Speilberg's 1941 (which had come out a year prior to ESB)
How did you not know this ??

I think it's when he says "Get to your speeders", it sounds like him. But when he tells Leia "the shield doors must be closed", he almost sounds British. Sounds like it was dubbed.

Interestingly, I too only noticed this the last time I watched ESB, about a month ago. Despite John Ratzenberger being a very uncommon name, I still had to IMDB it to make sure.
Yeah, I felt like an idiot for not ever knowing that.
Just goes to show you can almost always notice something new every time you watch these movies.

He appears on the iceberg in Firefox, two mission control types in the first two Superman movies, and in Outland as well. And I do a double take every time he pops up in a older movie and exclaim to the wife, "look, it's Cliff" and she nods dutifully and mumbles because she doesn't really care.
As an old Decipher Star Wars CCG player this stuff makes me laugh after being pointed out decades now later

you want a really good one, In Blade Runner the smallest of the "three kids" that are walking through the alley as the Spinner asks Deckard what he is doing, then the kids start to strip his car, is Tony Cox best known now as the elf in Bad Santa. He was a stunt man at the time and was originally to fall off the top of the car as it drove off. Instead he took a bad spill on a rehearsal that ended his stunt career. He was also an Ewok in ROTJ ad the Ewok Adventures.

COOL! that is part of the fun of going back and watching 20 or 30 year old films.. you sometimes recognize current actors back in their struggling days!

It's tough to find a movie he hasn't been in. The other day I was watching A Bridge to Far, and there he is. A few weeks ago I watched Gandhi, and there's Cliff driving a jeep.

To be fair, in ESB one of two of his lines ("The Shield doors MUST be closed.") was dubbed by someone else in ADR, so you won't recognize him that way. The only line you hear him speak (Okay, everybody, to your stations, let's go!") is over swelling music, so it's a bit disguised as well.
