The Bear star Jeremy Allen White shares first word on Star Wars casting as he says he didn't know exactly who Rotta the Hutt was: "In the moment, almost, I discovered the weight of the character I was voicing"

The Bear.

Jeremy Allen White has broken his silence on his Star Wars casting in The Mandalorian & Grogu. He'll voice Rotta the Hutt, the son of Jabba the Hutt from the original trilogy.

"It was exciting. You know, it’s funny, I met Jon Favreau, who directed the film and the series prior, and I’ve been such a huge fan of Jon’s for a very long time, and so we talked about movies and I asked about Swingers," White said during an appearance on Good Morning America, referring to the 1996 comedy written by and starring Favreau.
