You're better than the Amazing Criswell. Finally. A horoscope I can trust.

The guy who played Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I, Ray Park, was attacked by some idiots in a bar because "he killed Qui-Gon!".

The world is a weird place

How did they recognize him?

You reminded me of yet another similar story. I have a copy of the 1939 movie Frank and Jesse James, which stared Henry Fonda and Tyrone Power in the title roles, and featured John Carradine as Robert Ford. The booklet quotes Carradine as saying that at the premier he was confronted by a young boy who asked if he killed Jesse. Carradine said that when he replied "Yes" the kid kicked him on the shin and ran away.

Not sure, they may have talked to him or something.
Then you have 'making of's' who often show actors without any make up/costume.

All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.... Last scene of all,
That (last hell) ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything
