10 Actors Who Got Fired From Roles Of A Life Time
6. Gina Carano - Cara Dune (The Mandalorian)
In today's climate, actors have never been under more scrutiny when posting on social media. Write an ill-advised tweet and it could be the difference between a gig in a huge franchise (plus the comfy pay-cheque) and being ostracised from the industry.
Back in 2021 Gina Carano found this out the hard way. After a series of politically charged tweets she found herself at the mercy of a huge backlash thanks to a string of offensive comments made on social media. After being a fan favourite in the Mandalorian, she soon became one of the most hated actors ever to appear in the Star Wars franchise.
She received flack due to several tweets about her disdain for the use of masks during the COVID pandemic, and was later accused of transphobia after seeming to mock the use of gender pronouns. But the final nail in the coffin came when comparing the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany to the ridicule faced by American conservatives.
