Overview

  • On her podcast The Sackhoff Show, the actress said she “lost all of my confidence after Mandalorian” despite years voicing Bo‑Katan in animation.
  • She explained that her instinct-driven method failed with Bo‑Katan, a character she did not identify with, which left her doubting her abilities.
  • Sackhoff said she was submitting taped auditions, wasn’t booking roles, and “basically didn’t work” for roughly three years.
  • She overhauled her approach by bringing on a new manager who connected her with an acting coach, focusing on rebuilding and broadening her existing skills.
  • She now says she feels like her old self and is working in an undisclosed role on Prime Video’s Carrie series, which is in production.
