the CREED name!” he wrote in a tweet to Jordan, as Entertainment Weekly reported at the time. “Congrats on [a] great job, my friend. May your success continue.”
In a 2020 interview with GQ, Weathers explained how he’s been able to see such success in Hollywood for nearly 50 years of his life.
“I’d say just good fortune that it works out most of the time for me and has over the years,” confessed Weathers. “But…I have no clue why. It’s kind of like why does one person wind up being a race car driver and another person a great mathematician. God blessed them with whatever god blessed them with.

“Charisma is an important aspect of being a performer. And, for me, the roles that I’ve done, including Greef Karga in The Mandalorian, there is a kind of swagger about him and I don’t know that you can manufacture that. That comes naturally, but there’s also some thought in it. There’s something about how you see the world and how you walk through the world that translates on screen, that comes across and people get and they see and they want to emulate.”
Rest well, Carl. We love you.
