When it comes to Star Wars: The Mandalorian, most fans know Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, the man behind the Mando mask, but he’s not the only actor to wear the iconic Beskar armor. Pascal’s stunt doubles include Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder, and they’re often featured in the show. Recently, Wayne, who is the grandson of legendary actor John Wayne, had a chat with StarWarsNewsNet, and he talked about his role in the series and teased some exciting final episodes of the current third season.ย
“So they try to give you something to different work with in [this show], and this season was no exception, and you’ll see it in the next episode. You’re gonna see something very different than you’ve seen in its presentation, and so it’s amazing,” Wayne shared. “For different reasons, different episodes have a lot of meaning, whether it’s the enjoyment of the cast that came in for this episode, or the director I get to work with, or the story point I get to uphold in this moment. I don’t think I’ve had my favorite [episode air] yet… There are some things that happen in the final episode that are pretty epic.”

Wayne teased, “There’s a scene coming up with Bo and Mando, and it is โ I don’t know which version they chose, as far as what was going back and forth between us, but I think it’s going to… I had a great time doing that, and it was a lot of varying emotions came here and there, and this, there’s just such a really cool quality that I felt that I was able to play around in as an actor โ which most of the time you’re not aware of it, you’re in the moment and you go โ but there’s something about that, and the do-si-do that we had, while physical and verbal, was super-intense, and I think it’s gonna be really cool. I think you’re gonna enjoy it.”
