Pedro Pascal has chosen his projects very carefully in recent years, and it's paid off for him in a big way. Between The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, The Last of Us, and The Mandalorian, the actor has become a beloved figure with a passionate fanbase, and that's something new for the actor.
During an appearance on Graham Norton's BBC talk show (via SFFGazette.com), Pascal admired that he's still "trying to figure it all out," and shared one of the weirder requests he gets.
"People come up to me and ask me to do the voice [from The Mandalorian] for their kids," he began. "But I think it sounds inappropriate because it is a breathy, low register 'bedroom' voice...“It is so creepy and doesn’t work in real life."
We can definitely see where the actor is coming from here, and it's funny how different the bounty hunter's voice can be interpreted when you remove the helmet and take it out of context! This wasn't the sort of interview where he gave much away about The Mandalorian's third season, though he did comment briefly on working with Grogu.
"He is remarkably lifelike and a real screen partner, but does steal every scene!" he jokes.
The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars Galaxy continue in season 3. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the Galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.
The series stars Pedro Pascal, Katee Sackhoff, Carl Weathers, Amy Sedaris, Emily Swallow and Giancarlo Esposito. The directors of the eight-episode season 3 include Rick Famuyiwa, Rachel Morrison, Lee Isaac Chung, Carl Weathers, Peter Ramsey, and Bryce Dallas Howard.
Favreau is the showrunner/head writer and serves as an executive producer along with Dave Filoni, Rick Famuyiwa, Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson. Karen Gilchrist and Carrie Beck are co-executive producers.
The Mandalorian season 3 premieres on March 1.
