He is the only character to be portrayed by the same actor (Anthony Daniels) and appear in all nine of the core Star Wars films.
R2-D2 is the only other character to be in all nine films, but his original actor (Kenny Baker) died in 2016; Jimmy Vee subsequently took on the role.

Why is there even an actor inside the R2 plastic can? Have they not heard of remote controlling?

That was a thing in the 70s? I highly doubt that. Even if it were, ANH's budget was so low that it was cheaper to have a little person actuate R2's movements than to spend money on mechatronics on a film that no one was sure would succeed. After ANH's box office success, it just became tradition to have a little person play the role.
