In a recent interview with Wired, the actor Peter Pascal has revealed the reasons why he has decided to join this adaptation of the famous video game.
“I find it funny when someone applies choice to my experience. Of course you can say no to things, but you can’t say no to Jon Favreau (the creator of The Mandalorian), Kathleen Kennedy (the president of Lucasfilm), Dave Filoni (the executive producer of The Mandalorian), or HBO. I never felt like stopping and considering what the characters were, it was just the circumstance of a door opening and walking through… To be completely honest, I wanted to work with Craig Mazin (the co-creator of The Last of Us), who made Chernobyl. Also, HBO is content that I literally grew up with. I experienced your original programming. Their original programming was very, very mature.”
