Which actor plays Cobb Vanth in The Mandalorian? Timothy Olyphant plays Cobb Vanth in The Mandalorian.

Cobb Vanth is the marshal of Mos Pelgo, a settlement on Tatooine later known as Freetown. He first appears in season 2’s “Chapter 9: The Marshal,” wearing armor once associated with Boba Fett. Vanth acquired the armor from Jawas after escaping captivity and used it to defend his town from threats, including a giant krayt dragon.

Olyphant’s casting adds a deliberate Western flavor to the character. Before joining Star Wars, he was widely recognized for playing lawmen and frontier-style figures, especially Sheriff Seth Bullock in Deadwood and Raylan Givens in Justified. That background helped make Cobb feel like a classic frontier marshal transplanted into a space Western.

Viewers sometimes confuse Cobb with other season-two guest characters. John Leguizamo voices Gor Koresh, Titus Welliver appears as an Imperial captain, and Michael Biehn plays Lang. Olyphant later reprised Cobb in The Book of Boba Fett, where the character’s fate becomes a major unresolved thread.
