'The Mandalorian' Star Says the Show 'Destroyed' Her Confidence: 'It Broke Me'

Katee Sackhoff revealed that portraying Bo-Katan Kryze led to a three-year work hiatus and a significant loss of confidence, prompting her to hire an acting coach for recovery.

  • On a recent episode of her podcast, Katee Sackhoff said playing Bo-Katan "just broke me," and she "lost all of my confidence after 'Mandalorian'" while speaking with Tahmoh Penikett.
  • Because she "didn't understand" Bo-Katan, Katee Sackhoff explained she never identified with the Mandalorian character and originally voiced her in animation before live-action on The Mandalorian seasons 2 and 3.
  • The actress recalled a three-year drought in live-action work, noting Sackhoff "basically didn't work" post-Season 3, with only a single Law & Order episode and voice acting projects during 2022-2024.
  • She has since rebuilt her career by hiring a new manager and acting coach, who restored her confidence, and she has returned to screens with Law & Order and the upcoming Carrie series.
  • Looking to the near future, Sackhoff emphasized there's no confirmation on Bo-Katan Kryze's return in next year's The Mandalorian & Grogu, and said, `I trust Mike` about her Carrie project with Mike Flanagan.
