Katee Sackhoff Says Live-Action Bo-Katan on The Mandalorian ‘Broke’ Her Confidence

She turned to a new manager plus an acting coach to rebuild her footing.

Overview

  • On her podcast, Sackhoff said translating her long-running animated role into on-camera performance left her doubting herself and not booking on-camera work for roughly three years.
  • She explained that her instinct-driven process faltered because she did not identify with the character in live action, despite voicing Bo-Katan since 2012.
  • Season three of The Mandalorian, where her role expanded, was filmed in 2022 and aired in 2023, after which she described a confidence collapse.
  • Sackhoff recounted replacing her manager and working with an acting coach focused on restoring confidence rather than technique, citing recent steps back with voice roles and a Law & Order appearance.
  • She has been cast in Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Carrie series, while her involvement in The Mandalorian & Grogu film or a second season of Ahsoka remains unannounced.
