The Hollywood Reporter is reporting actor Nick Nolte is the latest to join the cast of the first Star Wars live-action series The Mandalorian. He joins previously announced cast members Pedro Pascal and Gina Carano.
From THR:
Veteran actor Nick Nolte has joined the cast of The Mandalorian, the live-action Star Wars series that will launch on Disney’s streaming Service, Disney+.
The known cast includes Pedro Pascal and Gina Carano. The series, which is already in production, is heavy on visual effects, costumes and makeup, which will allow actors to come and go as well as, in some cases, be cast later in the production process than usual.
Jon Favreau wrote the series and is executive producing along with Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson and Dave Filoni. Filoni will also direct episodes, as will with Taika Waititi, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rick Famuyiwa and Deborah Chow.
Character details are stuffed deep in the Sarlacc pit, but the company’s synopsis is thus: “After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.”
Nolte’s credits range from 48 Hrs. to Down and Out in Beverly Hills to Mulholland Falls to The Thin Red Line to Warrior and Gangster Squad. He most recently starred in the short-lived Epix series Graves.
He is repped by CAA.
