Who plays Paz Vizla under the armor in The Mandalorian? Throughout season 1, The Mandalorian has included a variety of actors from all genres in either guest-starring roles or cameos. Viewers might recognize the voice of Paz Vizla; however, audiences may be surprised to learn that the voice does not belong to the actor who played this Mandalorian under the armor.
In The Mandalorian season 1 episode 3, "The Sin," Mando (Pedro Pascal), Baby Yoda to make new Mandalorian armor, as well as some projectile weapons called Whistling Birds. However, the camtono of Beskar draws the attention of other Mandalorians such as Paz Vizla. Paz reprimands Mando for working with former agents of the Empire since they're the reason why the Tribe hides underground. Before Paz can fight Mando, the Armorer steps in and diffuses the situation.
Under the armor, The Mandalorian's Paz Vizla is played by Tait Fletcher, a former MMA fighter. Fletcher famously got into a screaming match with his coach and MMA legend, Ken Shamrock, during the third season of The Ultimate Fighter. After retiring from fighting in 2008, Fletcher transitioned into acting and stunt work. Fletcher notably had a role in the final season of The Equalizer.
It's worth noting that although Fletcher plays Paz Vizla under the armor, the character is Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The spelling is different so Paz Vizla is not from the same family as Pre Vizsla, but the character in The Mandalorian is a sly reference to the character in The Clone Wars.
It's unclear if Paz Vizla will make an bounty hunters, allowing Din to escape. The episode ends with Paz Vizla flying next to Din's ship as he salutes and flies away. With Mando on the run once again in The Mandalorian season 2, he might have to call upon Paz Vizla and the other Mandalorians for more help protecting Baby Yoda.
