In contrast to featuring famous Star Wars antagonists such as Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine in Season 2, Andor isn’t shy about incorporating other legendary characters. One of the most surprising revelations in the new season is that Benjamin Bratt was cast as Bail Organa, taking over from Jimmy Smits who played the role for over two decades. Instead of employing CGI Deepfake technology, Andor opted to recast instead, a decision that has already proven fruitful. Bratt himself has since expressed his enthusiasm about this unexpected turn of events and shared insights into what lies ahead for his portrayal of Bail Organa.
In his latest interview, Benjamin Bratt praises Jimmy Smits for his talent and reveals hints about Bail Organa’s significant role in the upcoming season 2 of “Andor.” Bratt shares, “Jimmy has always been an exceptionally gifted actor. He embodies elegance, a natural grace, a genuine kindness – all qualities that this character demands.” It is evident that he values his role and chose to be part of a show that emphasizes the subtler aspects of the Rebel Alliance. He hints at audiences discovering more about Organa’s unique abilities within the resistance.
As a movie enthusiast, what captivated me and enticed me to embody this character was discovering his exceptional strategic mind and his ability to add just the right intensity when necessary.
More to come.
