While it may not come as a huge surprise, given the prominent inclusion in the credits of season three of The Mandalorian of Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowther, Pedro Pascal makes it perfectly clear that for the last couple of seasons of the show his involvement has been mostly behind the microphone voicing the character rather than wearing the actual suit, which as he explains was rather uncomfortable.
THR: Pedro, you have two shows, The Last of Us and The Mandalorian. Presumably, you don’t always have to be present for The Mandalorian?
PASCAL: Correct.
THR: That can just be voiceover?
CULKIN: Is that true?
PASCAL: For a lot of it, yeah.
CULKIN: Really? I thought that was you. I kept thinking, “That guy’s really good.” It’s all a lie! (Laughter.)
PASCAL: There was an extended amount of experimentation, being in the suit for a lot of it, and frankly, my body wasn’t up for the task as far as, like, the four months of it. But I was in it. I was in it a significant amount, an elastic amount (he pretends to tug at his neck, where the suit would chafe). But now we’ve figured it out, which is super cool, and amazingly, it gave me the opportunity to be able to go and do something else.
CULKIN: That’s good. I have a question. Sorry, I’m curious. Do you ever watch and go, “I wouldn’t have done that”? Like, “He leaned on the thing, and that’s not [how I’d do it].” Do you ever have the sense of ownership of, “I should have been in the suit,” or are you like, “No, this is good”?
PASCAL: I think it’s great. (Laughter.)
CULKIN: Great. I’m not trying to be a dick …
PASCAL: No, I do. I think that there are things that you have to let go of in terms of what can be an OCD level of attention to detail because, you know …
BRIDGES: Because we’re part of a collage.
PASCAL: Yeah, exactly. But even so much as wanting your component of that to fit perfectly into the collage, you really have to give it all up.
