We all knew exactly why we were there, but no one dared discuss how we arrived on Tatooine.
Can you tell us about your role in the series?
It’s a gambling hall in Mos Espa.
Lots of people claim to beStar Warsfans.
Just how obsessed are you with the franchise?
I’ve been to Skywalker Ranch.
I’ve metGeorge Lucas.
I’m wearing a Tatooine hat right now.
And I made Lego Minifigures of my character inThe Book of Boba Fett.
How was your experience on the show’s soundstage?
It’s truly revolutionary.
When you are there, it’s does not seem at all like a soundstage.
You are convinced that you are in a cantina in the galaxy’s Outer Rim Territories.
In what ways did your past experiences in reality TV and medicine influence your time working on the series?
Many people spend too much time overanalyzing their potential lucky breaks.
You’ve had a number of titles:Big Brotherwinner,Price is Rightwinner, and celebrity dermatologist.
Now you’re an actor.
What’s next on your bucket list?
But I don’t care at all, as this experience was truly magical for me.
