Jake Lloyd's first professional acting job was a 1995 commercial for Ford Windstar.
Now with his pivotal and iconic role as young slave boy Annakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, it is the 10-year-old Colorado native who is in the driver's seat.
As the boy who would be Darth Vader, he is now a part of movie history, but the down-to-earth Lloyd, a veteran of television (E.R.) and independent films (such as Unhook the Stars and the upcoming Madison), wears it well.

"When I met Jake Lloyd and realized that Ender might be played by a child actor who would not culkinize the character, I was able to rethink the entire project," Card explained.
With an actor of Lloyd's caliber in the starring role, Card said the story can now be told from Ender's point of view, as it was in the novel.
That change will also allow Card to include material from the book that was going to be cut out, such as the "surprise" ending, the fantasy game sequence and the intense relationships among the children enrolled at the Battle School.

I just watched TPM for the millionth time, and I still think he was good for the role.
Overall I thought he was cute, but there were a couple of times in TPM where I felt like he wasn't sure what he was supposed to be doing.
I thought he interacted quite well with Natalie, which isn't anything to sneeze at, considering he was at the age where boys think girls are yucky.
