The Mandalorian: 5 Actors Who Could Play Thrawn

5. Lars Mikkelsen

For those that don’t know, when Thrawn was brought back into the canon for Star Wars Rebels season three, it was Lars Mikkelsen who voiced the character, and he did a FANTASTIC job.

Mikkelsen has a very impressive film history as well, having been a part of The Witcher and House of Cards for Netflix and even went on to appear as the menacing villain, Charles Magnussen, in BBC’s Sherlock.

Aside from the fact that Mikkelsen has already voiced the character (and why not keep it consistent?), he's a fantastic choice to cast in the live action role and it would be silly not to even consider him.

On a completely unrelated note, his brother Mads Mikkelsen has also appeared in the Star Wars universe as Galen Erso in Rogue One.
