Simon Kassianides Talks About How Axe Woves From 'The Mandalorian' Changed From Conception To Filming
Axe Woves wasn’t a character who lit the world on fire when he was introduced in the second season of The Mandalorian. However, in the second half of season 3, he was thrown into the spotlight, taking a leading role in fighting Moff Gideon and the rest of the Imperial Remnant.
“You hope that you’re going to get a good reaction, especially being a fan myself,” actor Simon Kassianides, who played the character said. Kassiandes, who is also known for his roles in Quantum of Solace and Agents of Shield.“ There’s a bit of a gap between when you finish filming, and when it comes out so there’s always a bit of trepidation. You’re always sitting there thinking, ‘Was there broccoli in my teeth, [laughs] or you know, how is this gonna come across?’ But now that it’s over? It’s just been incredible. The feedback and how everyone’s responded to the character. It’s just been so rewarding in so many ways. How people are really happy with the character [Axe Woves] and what it represents to a lot of people. I’ve had such a spectrum of reactions, all positive.”
