Did you know…
Plo Koon could have been called Plonkoon after Nick Dudman’s son.

Nick Dudman (born around 1957) got his start in films working as a Special Make-up Effects trainee in The Empire Strikes Back back in 1978. Since then has he been a Make-up Artist in Return of the Jedi and Creature Effects Supervisor in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. He is a veteran of several Lucasfilm productions besides Star Wars.
Read about how he make Creatures Take Form in The Phantom Menace.

Matt Sloan who played Plo Koon was also an animatronics technician for Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

In The Phantom Menace was Plo Koon played by Alan Ruscoe (se entry 14th April).

Jedi Master Plo Koon is one of many jedi who fought bravely on Geonosian execution arena, and survived. He was stationed on Cato Neimodia when his clone wingmen carried out the “order 66”. He and his starfighter crashed into the ground.

Was he or was he not in Attack of the Clones

Alan Ruscoe played Daultay Dofine, Plo Koon and a pasty-skinned Twi'lek in the Phantom Menace. In Attack of the Clones he maybe have played Lott Dod/Gilramos Libkath/Rune Haako.

Chris Sanders did the voice for Daultay Dofine in The Phantom Menace.

Daultay Dofine is the captain of the Neimodian blockade over Naboo. He is killed when the Droid Control Ship is blown up by a Naboo starfighter.

Plo Koon is an alien Jedi Master and a member of the Jedi Council.

He was nicknamed “Bib Fortuna” during production because the similar appearance, but is not intended to actually be a young Bib Fortuna.

Gilramos Libkath/Lott Dod/Rune Haako in Attack of the Clones:

This has been mentioned before in Keeper of the Holocron’s Blog but it is interesting to notice that Alan Ruscoe is credit as Lott Dod at www.starwars.com but credit as Gilramos Libkath at www.imdb.com.

Accourding to Wookiepeedia is it an extra named David Healey who played Gilramos Libkath/Lott Dod/Rune Haako in Attack of the Clones and not Alan Ruscoe.

The Keeper of the Holocron, Mr. Chee also clearify that for all intents and purposes, the character seen with Nute Gunray in Attack of the Clones is Rune Haako. The confusion arose because the character's name changed continuously during production. Some merely referred to the character as "Nute Aide." It doesn't help matters when you take into account that Nute's voice is completely different than it is in The Phantom Menace. A different Neimoidian mask was also reportedly used. Nonetheless, it's supposed to be Haako.

Whosoever played the character, and which character it was, he was voiced by Chris Truswell (if he ever said something). ;-)
