Katee Sackhoff Says Bo-Katan Role 'Broke' Her Confidence

She says the live-action shift clashed with her instinct-driven process, prompting her first-ever work with an acting coach.

Overview

  • Sackhoff detailed the struggle on her YouTube podcast The Sackhoff Show during a conversation with Battlestar Galactica co-star Tahmoh Penikett.
  • She said she felt disconnected from Bo-Katan in live action, noting the character was far from who she is and outside her usual instinct-first approach.
  • After The Mandalorian, she reported three years of sparse work and difficulty booking roles through taped auditions.
  • She overhauled her team with a new manager and hired an acting coach for the first time to help her reconnect with her existing skills.
  • Sackhoff says her confidence has returned and she has an undisclosed role in Prime Video’s in-production Carrie series adaptation.
