Jason Sudeikis (born September 18, 1975[1]) is an American actor, comedian, and writer. He portrayed Scout trooper JS-1975 in the eighth episode of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. Sudeikis experienced a tongue-in-cheek backlash on social media when his character punched Grogu in the episode, something he had forgotten his character did until after his name started trending on Twitter after the episode aired.[2]
Sudeikis is best known for his work on the sketch comedy television series Saturday Night Live and for playing the title role in the series Ted Lasso.[3]
