In "Star Wars: Episode III", who plays Bail Organa?

The story behind the answer

Jimmy Smits plays Bail Organa in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

Bail Organa is the senator of Alderaan and a prominent opponent of Chancellor Palpatine's growing authoritarian power. After Anakin Skywalker falls to the dark side and Padmé Amidala dies, Bail helps protect the newborn twins. He adopts Leia, raising her as Princess Leia Organa on Alderaan.

Revenge of the Sith, released in 2005, is the final film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. It shows the transformation of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire and establishes the political and family circumstances that lead into the original trilogy.

Smits first played Bail in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and reprised the role in later Star Wars productions, including Rogue One and Obi-Wan Kenobi. A common mix-up is confusing the actor with Benjamin Bratt, who later portrayed Bail in Andor.
