Bill Burr Talks Briefly About Being In 'The Mandalorian'

By: Dominic Jones

One of the many new characters that we'll be meeting in The Mandalorian, the upcoming Disney+ series, is one played by comedian and Breaking Bad actor Bill Burr.  Burr's character could be seen briefly in the footage from the series that was revealed at Star Wars Celebration in April, and then the back of his head can be seen in the official trailer.  Burr recently appeared on the The Rich Eisen Show where he spoke about how he got the role, acknowledged it was weird that he was in it since he always makes jokes about Star Wars, and what it was like on set.

He went into further detail about the experience on The H3 Podcast, where he revealed that he worked on the episode directed by Rick Famuyiwa, which you can check out below,
