The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal reveals his biggest challenge when filming the hit Disney+ show.
“The biggest challenge in playing Mando in Season Two is still the obvious, in that, how to in subtle ways, be it through vocal intonation or physical stillness/posture, large movements, small movements, to dramatically convey a scene and keep the character compelling because he is economical anyway, much less being armored from the tips of his toes to the top of his head,” Pascal detailed with Entertainment Weekly. “It is a physical challenge that is met creatively in terms of how technically you can achieve that. It will always be particularly unique in that regard.”
Despite those challenges, the actor noted that not only his experience on the first season of the series, but also his career in live performances, allowed him to tap into those subtle nuances more easily.
“I’m not even sure if I would be able to do it if it weren’t for the amount of direct experience that I’ve had with being on stage to understand how to posture yourself,” the actor admitted. “How to physically frame yourself into something and to tell a story with a gesture, with a stance, or with very, very specific vocal intonation.”
