Julian at Alliance Agents posted the sad news of Ken Colley's passing.

Ken Colley 7th Dec 1937 - 30th June 2025

With great sadness I need let everyone know that our lovely client and friend Ken Colley passed away on Monday after a short illness. He was 87.

Ken’s acting career spanned over 60 years in film, television and theatre, but for the fans it was his iconic role as Admiral Piett in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi for which he will be forever remembered.

Ken loved attending conventions and meeting the fans. He travelled all over the World yet could never quite grasp why everyone wanted his autograph. He was a very humble man with an incredibly dry wit. Ken loved his garden, art, cars and the occasional Porn Star Martini. His wife Mary died several years ago, since then he has been looked after by his friend Lynn. Ken lived in Hythe in Kent.

It has been a pleasure representing Ken over the years. He wasn’t just a client, but also a friend.

Pictured below is Ken Colley on the right with his friend the late Michael Culver while at Star Wars Celebration in London in 2023.

Our thoughts & prayers are with Ken's family and close friends during this difficult time.
