Lucas Knight has been a fan of Star Wars since he watched the original trilogy with his parents one afternoon when he was 12 years old. After that, he always wanted to make an appearance in one of the future movies. He just kept sending letters/emails to Lucasfilm telling them how much he wished to be part of any of the properties that were under development, ensuring that it would be a great idea to have some high profile athletes in their media so they can expand their fanbase. It was a pleasant surprise for Knight when he got an answer with an invitation to a tryout for a small role in the new series The Mandalorian. More exciting was that he did really good and was set to make a brief appearance in one episode of the upcoming series.
About his acting debut, Knight states the following: “I’m very happy that I got a chance to be part of a Star Wars property, this has been one of my dreams since I was a kid. Even though is a small role (I just have a couple of lines in one episode), it was a fun experience. I can't say much about it, for obvious reasons, but I'm sort of a bounty hunter; I had a brief interaction with Pedro Pascal’s character before things got wild; you are probably not going to recognize me right away because of costume and make up, but I'll be sure to tell everyone to watch the episode when it airs.”
