Who plays the title character Din Djarin in The Mandalorian?

Pedro Pascal plays Din Djarin, the title character and central protagonist of The Mandalorian. The character is a bounty hunter who becomes Grogu’s protector and adoptive father during the series.

Pascal provides Din Djarin’s voice and portrays him in many scenes, while performers including Brendan Wayne, Lateef Crowder, and Barry Lowin serve as body doubles or armored performers for action and physical work. Because the character normally wears a sealed beskar helmet, viewers may not see Pascal’s face often, but his voice is a defining part of the performance.

The role became Pascal’s international breakthrough after earlier appearances as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones and Javier Peña in Narcos. Jon Favreau created Din Djarin with influences from Western gunslingers, samurai cinema, and Star Wars figures such as Han Solo. The character’s personal name was initially kept secret and was later revealed as Din Djarin.
