Katee Sackhoff Says Playing Bo-Katan Shattered Her Confidence, Turns to Coaching to Rebuild

On her podcast, she describes losing confidence after The Mandalorian, prompting her first-ever work with an acting coach.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Sackhoff Show with Tahmoh Penikett, Sackhoff said she "lost all" confidence after portraying Bo-Katan in live action.
  • She said the character felt far from her own identity, which led to doubts, tough self-tape auditions, and roughly three years with little to no work.
  • She overhauled her approach by hiring a new manager who connected her with her first acting coach to help her reconnect with existing skills.
  • Sackhoff says she is regaining confidence and has an undisclosed role in Prime Video's Carrie series, which is in production.
  • Future live-action appearances for Bo-Katan have not been announced.
