For the next season of the Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian on Disney PlusFans will see a new face in the crowd: Netflix’s Santa Clarita diet Actor Timothy Olyphant, after a Friday report by The Hollywood Reporter.
No official word yet on whether Olyphant will play a well-known Star Wars character or someone who is brand new. But given the talent of Olyphant to play a gunslinger and a cowboy on the TV shows Justified and DeadwoodIt would be great to see him sitting next to the Mandalorian himself (played by Pedro Pascal) as a buddy or maybe even as a new nemesis.
Disney and Lucasfilm did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Timothy Olyphant also played a US deputy marshal on the FX Networks television series Justified.
