3,000 Actors Auditioned for the Role of Han Solo

Date:

Over 3,000 actors auditioned for the role of Han Solo.

Nearly everyone and their grandmother auditioned for the role of Han Solo. Over the last year, more than 3,000 actors were auditioned in Disney and Lucasfilm’s search for a young Han. Countless callbacks, a “short” list of dozens of actors and the future of Harrison Ford’s iconic character laid in the balance of a select few casting directors. Now, after various reports that the Hail, Caesar! actor would be the one to pilot the Millennium Falcon — it’s official: Alden Ehrenreich is Han Solo.

At the Star Wars Celebration Europe panel Ehrenreich talked about his new acting job, “When it first came along I knew everybody would be going out for it. I read the sides and loved them and thought, ‘Who knows, but let me give it a shot.’”

I guess you never know until you try.
