After playing Maverick’s best friend in Top Gun, Anthony Edwards continued his acting career without much success. His filmography includes the 2007 film Zodiac, where he played Inspector William Armstrong. In 2013, he lent his voice to the character Echo for the animated film Planes.

Edwards, 59, has also confirmed he’ll appear in Top Gun’s sequel. It’ll be the first time we’ll see him since 2015, when he landed a role in Consumed.
