Star Wars: 10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About The Mandalorian
4. The Ins And Outs Of The Mandalorian On Set
It's time to focus a spotlight on precisely what went into making Din Djarin the masked, space lone ranger we didn't know we needed on the set of The Mandalorian.
Of course, the brilliant Pedro Pascal was tasked with being the literal face and voice of this titular Mandalorian. However, it wasn't simply a case of just suiting up the Game of Thrones and Narcos star and strutting him out onto The Volume every day.
Instead, whenever the Beskar-sporting badass was required to get particularly physical, one of two stunt people were substituted into his unmistakable outfit; gun expert Brendan Wayne and hand-to-hand combat pro Lateef Crowder, depending on the sequence.
In fact, Pascal's stunt doubles were so damn convincing that when the actor couldn't make it to set to shoot for episode four of the first season, due to King Lear Broadway rehearsals, said stunt performers took up the reins before Pascal later added his recorded lines in post.
And as another interesting tidbit, Pascal also genuinely busted his head on a piece of plywood before dramatically revealing his mug for the first time as Djarin in Season 1. So, some of the wounds seen in that moment are actually legit.
How method.
