Actor Clancy Brown played the Devaronian named Burg on The Mandalorian Chapter 6, titled The Prisoner, which dropped this morning on Disney+.
The Devaronian named Burg was one of a team of bounty hunters that Ranzar “Ran” Malk (Mark Boone Junior) put together to rescue a Twi’lek associate from a maximum-security New Republic prison ship. Ran and the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) had worked together as a team in the past. But Ran had since stopped running jobs and wanted to recruit the Mandalorian to join the team he put together to rescue his Twi’lek associate.
The other members of the team were Mayfeld (comedian Bill Burr), Xi’an (Natalia Tena), and a droid named Zero, portrayed by the comedian Richard Ayoade.
Xi’an is a Twi’lek, and the associate that Ran wanted to rescue was her brother. Xi’an and the Mandalorian had known each other before and it appeared they were previously in a relationship.
While introducing members of the team to the Mandalorian, Mayfeld described the big and gruff Devaronian as “the good-looking fellow with the horns.” He added that Burg was the team’s “muscle.”
