Joshua Scott Chasez, also known as "JC" Chasez, is an entertainer, both as a musician and actor, but he is most widely recognized for his time as a member of the popular boy band NSYNC. It was initially planned for Chasez to make an appearance as a Jedi character in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, which is part of the prequel trilogy. He was to appear alongside fellow bandmates Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, in addition to Steven Fatone, Joey's brother. However, Joey Fatone later verified that the scene they filmed was ultimately removed from the final cut due to negative reactions from fans. In contrast, Lynne Hale, a representative for Lucasfilm Ltd., stated that she could not confirm that their roles were cut, indicating that the final decision rested with George Lucas, the director and creator of the Star Wars franchise. Ultimately, Chasez's character, and the scene he participated in, did not make it into the final version of Attack of the Clones.
