I’ve been a fan of The Mandalorian since it debuted in 2019, and when I found out that one actor had played two wonderful characters on the show (Kuiil and Frog Lady) I was really impressed with her work. That’s when I looked up Misty Rosas and discovered her long résumé of other character work besides the Disney+ Star Wars series. She is also a dancer, singer, gymnast, stunt woman, and voiceover artist.

While her résumé is impressive, it was when I read her personal story that I truly became a fan of Misty. So, while we will certainly be touching upon the Mandalorian and other projects that she’s been a part of, it is her journey with hearing loss that takes center stage in this conversation. We crack open how her medical challenges forged her character and crafted her into the actor and person that she is today.

I have to admit that there have only been a handful of interviews in the five seasons of this podcast where I was a mixture of nervous and excited to talk to a guest, my time with Misty was certainly one of those time. As you’ll hear in part one of our conversation, she has a warm and open heart with so much wisdom to share from the lessons she’s learned in her life and career and I am so grateful she came and this podcast to share it with you and me.
