Daniella Alonso played Catherine Belen on the show’s first season. She shared her advice for aspiring actors with Felix Magazine. “You hear it all the time, but looking at the business side and how choices get made, always believe in yourself and your ability. You are where you need to be, what you are is what you are and someone will eventually see that and want to work with you. Don’t try to fit into a mold. Be present and be happy with where you are. Roles come and go; in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter. Just try to be happy.”

2. Scott Speedman

Before playing Baz Blackwell, Scott Speedwan was a competitive swimmer. He talked about stepping away from the sport to Men’s Journal. “Anybody who does any sort of sport intensely at any age has repetitive stress injuries and that's basically all it was. It was kind of a nerve injury and I think the non-medical term for what I had was ‘arm burnout,’ just from over-training. I was a distance swimmer, a miler, freestyle, and the training back then was definitely very intense. I had a good couple of years of competing at a prime age and then my arm just kind of gave out. I've told this story many times, but it was definitely one of the best things that has happened to me.”

3. Leila George

Leila George played the younger version of Smurf on the show. She talked about staying driven to work with Body & Soul. “I like living in a house with a roof. And sometimes you need money for that. That's really it. It's also allowed me to be pickier with what I choose to do. And I'd rather spend my time working, doing that, than doing jobs that maybe I'm not in love with. I like the structure of having a work schedule. I like earning my own money.”

4. Molly Gordon

In addition to being Nicky Belmont on the show, Molly Gordon has started directing. She notably directed Theater Camp. Gordon talked about this with Shondaland.com. “All I want to do is make things that are original and authentic and maybe stranger. And it feels like that’s kind of what’s at stake right now — can you get paid to make good work, and can you make a living wage as a writer, as an actor? But also like, how do we get people to come and see these things? I think the only thing we can do is try to make bolder, weirder things and not just the same thing over and over again.”

5. Ellen Barkin

Ellen Barken played the lead role of Smurf Cody. She talked about sexism in the acting world to InStyle. “One of the best benefits of getting older is that I no longer feel guilty about protecting myself. That’s a big thing in my job because the gender disparity is outrageous. I don’t think there’s a working actress alive who I wouldn’t call a badass. It’s a hard job, made even harder by being a woman.”

6. Ben Robson

Ben Robson, who plays Craig Cody, talked about getting in shape for the role to Men’s Journal. “I definitely adapted my training for this. I knew it was very aggressive so I took up boxing and got myself a trainer. Boxing is something I've always enjoyed doing, but I've went into it a lot more and really learned how to do it. That's obviously an incredible workout, and it’s totally addictive as well because you start getting better and better with the combos, the flow, and the routine. At the same time, I'm in the gym doing different routines. I manage to do some circuit training, then be out in about an hour. After the gym, you feel sort of strong and good about yourself, but it's not something I enjoy doing for hours on end.”

7. Darren Mann

Darren Mann played Baz Blackwell in flashbacks on the show. He talked about his upbringing to The Vancouver Sun. “Growing up I had an older brother (Tyler Mann) that took me absolutely everywhere with him and we didn’t have a dad growing up. My mom (Lenore Mann) had to work whatever job she could so we could play hockey and stuff. I was really blessed with a really great role model of a brother. In some ways I actually got to channel a little bit of my own brother and what that was like.”

8. Shawn Hatosy

Shawn Hatosy plays Pope Cody on the show. He talked about his training process with Muscle & Fitness. “If I have the time, I’ll lift for an hour and try to hit every muscle. Let’s say I’m doing bench presses. I’ll do a set, and then I’ll stay active by doing some situps on the decline bench, and then I’ll do air squats or something, and then I’ll go back to the bench and do another set. I try to keep moving. And if I’m not able to play tennis that day, I’ll do at least 30 minutes of cardio after I’m done lifting weights.”

9. Jake Weary

Jake Weary opened up about playing the villainous Jake Dunmore on the show to Ravelin Magazine. “If the villain can be endearing and make the audience root for them and yet still have that menacing nature and mal-intent, it can be very rewarding. There are times where I tend to feel lost when portraying my character on Animal Kingdom, which is basically about a family of looting sociopaths. However, there tend to be these ‘aha’ moments where, despite the awful things my character does, I can still find the humanity in his actions.”

10. Emily Deschanel

Emily Deschanel had a recurring role of Angela Kane. She is a vegan, and talked about her diet to Garden Of Life. “I’m definitely more aware of the fact that there are a lot of things which are not good for your bones. For instance, if your body doesn’t get proper nutrition, it will actually leach what it needs from the bones and cause problems. Once, when I was filming a scene, my character was supposed to offer someone a soda to drink. I said we couldn’t do that because soda is not good for your bones!”

11. Jennifer Landon

Jennifer Landon played Amy Wheeler on the show. She also has a role on Yellowstone, and talked about going riding on the show to TVFanatic.com. “We actually did all of it. Our great stunt people tested everything out first. I think they rolled on some of those. I think they ended up using our tape. That horse did charge at me. Those horses were stomping around. That water was freaking cold. And then we drifted downriver like that.”

In "15 Amazing Bodies of Mandalorian Stars," we delve into the fascinating off-screen lives of the cast from "The Mandalorian," a series set in the Star Wars universe. This show follows the story of Din Djarin, a lone bounty hunter navigating the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.

Pedro Pascal plays the titular Mandelorian, also known as Din Djarin. He talked about his life and career to Esquire.

2. Katee Sackhoff

Katee Sackhoff plays Bo-Katan Kryze, and joined in the show’s second season. Sackhoff has her own YouTube channel. She shares a lot of her workouts on it.

3. Ming-Na Wen

Ming-Na Wen plays the recurring role of Fennec Shand. On her wellness Instagram, Wen shares a lot of recipes and meals. In this one, she enjoyed a piece of fish. Wen captioned the post, “Lunchtime! Flounder fillet topped with panko crumbs, cilantro & pomegranate. Cooked in a little butter & olive. Only took 5 mins to make. Fast food never tasted so good! I added a side of beets with buffalo mozarella, basil & tomato drizzled in my own mustard balsamic vinaigrette.”

4. Taika Waititi

Taika Waititi voices IG-11 on the show. He shared some of his favorite products in an interview with CNN.

5. Omid Abtahi

Omid Abtahi plays the recurring role of Penn Pershing on the show’s first two seasons. He talked about bringing diversity to the Star Wars franchise to ComicBookMovie.com. “It does mean a lot. I get asked a lot, ‘Who would you be or who would you play if you were a superhero?’ I don’t know how to answer those because I never saw myself playing anybody. Maybe I don’t know the universe too well, but I never saw myself in anybody, so once I learned about Hawkman’s soul and where he came from in Egypt and Prince Khufu, I felt for once, ‘There is a reason I’m here.’ Maybe he’s Carter Hall, but his soul is from the Middle East, and that’s what I can provide.”

6. Mercedes Varnado

Mercedes Varnado plays the recurring role of Koska Reeves. She is also a WWE wrestler. She shared some of her health tips with Fox Sports. “When I first started (wrestling) I would try and find healthy restaurants which is really hard. A lot of tons only have fast food. Recently a lot of the boys started bringing their own food on the road and I decided to do the same thing.”

7. Amy Sedaris

Amy Sedaris plays the recurring role of Peli Motto, and has appeared on all three seasons. She talked about how she manages her stress to The Cut. “I can get stressed out. Sometimes an easy way to manage it is to pick up a book that takes you out of everything. Or calling a family member or a friend. I’m not a big drinker. I still like weed. When I get high, I like it.”

8. Emily Swallow

Emily Swallow plays the recurring role of The Armorer on the show. She talks about how she deals with pressure to Exit 6 Film Festival. “In the beginning I thought, 'Oh my gosh. If I don't come out of this without having created this magnificent project that's just everything I've ever wanted, then I've failed.' It's challenging me to be patient with myself and it's been more of a gradual focus on the smaller things that I've wanted for a while. From that, I've seen some ideas for projects come to light and collaborations take shape."

9. Katy M. O’Brian

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/Getty Images

Katy M. O’Brian plays the recurring role of Elia Kane. She opened up about her workout routine and advice on Twitter. “Lots of people hit me up requesting workout tips. I’ve spent years working w/various trainers to learn what works for my body. I don’t have time to write out plans or diets for people BUT I will say 1 key to getting ‘in shape’ is consistency. These are great tips to help w/that.”

10. Simon Kassianides

Simon Kassianides plays Axe Woves on the show, debuting in season two. In addition to acting, Kassianides loves to write. He talked about this to Numero Magazine. “I have always written. Being involved from ideas’ inceptions with talented people is one of the most rewarding experiences. The high level of skill around me allows for me to take that all on. It’s a lot, but seeing how such talent elevates the projects to levels I’d never dreamed of is something I am thoroughly enjoying and motivated to continue pursuing. I find all areas of this business exciting to be honest.”

11. Tait Fletcher

In addition to playing Paz Vizsla, Tait Fletcher sells coffee and MCT oil. He talked about the importance of MCT oil, and some of his diet secrets, with Brainwiz.org. “MCT is a nice healthy fat that you can derive from coconuts or palm oil. But with palm oil, you have destruction of rainforest and great ape habitat, so we try to be careful of how we source, and we do it from coconuts. I use it in my coffee to keep my fats high. I keep my fats high because I feel better that way. I spoke a little bit on the ketogenic diet; personally, I’ve found that keeping my carbohydrate count to 50 or 30 grams a day or less, I feel great. But in order to do that, I have to eat a ton of fat. Then my body creates ketones, and my body is fueled off adipose tissue.”

Josh Gates is one of the hosts of Expedition X. He talked about his approach to the show to MotorTrend.com. “I'm a big believer in that part of the experience, you know?

How the flight was, what went wrong, what went right, how they got stranded at that train station.”

10. Phil Torres

Star Trek stars have captivated audiences with their compelling performances and memorable characters (and pointy ears). Beyond the starships and interstellar adventures, these actors also share their personal journeys toward physical and emotional well-being. From Chris Pine's insights on healthy prepping for roles to Zachary Quinto's reflections on the evolving landscape for LGBTQ+ individuals, this article delves into the multifaceted lives of these talented individuals. Join us as we explore how actors like Karl Urban, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Michelle Yeoh strike a balance between maintaining incredible bodies, supporting charitable causes, and embracing their authentic selves in the ever-evolving realm of showbiz.

1. Chris Pine

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Chris Pine opened up about his career in an interview with Men’s Journal. In it, he says that he avoids those calorie rich diets when prepping for roles. “You’ve got Thor, you’ve got Captain America. These guys are eating 5,000, 7,000 calories, waking up just to eat food, eating 15 meals a day. For your liver, I don’t think that’s healthy.”

2. Karl Urban

Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images

Karl Urban opened up about how he got in shape for his role in The Boys to Men’s Journal. “I made sure I was consistently putting work in the gym. I wanted to make sure I was meeting the requirements of what people had in their heads when they thought of him. There's also an importance on staying healthy when you're coming up on a big shoot like The Boys, because it can take a lot out of you. I put a program together based on a few other regimes I had built for other film projects and it worked. The goal was to add mass to all of the muscle groups, and hit them all. I wanted something that was just as much about fitness as it was about aesthetic.”

3. Zachary Quinto

Jon Kopaloff/WireImage

In an interview with Time, Zachary Quinto opened up about growing up as a gay man. “I feel grateful to have grown up at a time when all my experiences as a kid in learning to perform and growing up was based on the people that came before me. I spent a lot of time charting the journeys of the people who weren't allowed to be openly gay and had to live their lives in terrible self-oppression and torture and lies just to succeed. Kids today don't have to think about that, because so many of those people died. Now you can do what you want to do. That came at a cost. Honoring that cost is the only thing we owe each other.”

4. Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth’s stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton, opened up about the way he and the actor get in shape for roles to Page Six. “Chris says to me, ‘We want to be the strongest, healthiest versions of ourselves for this next “Thor.” We want to take it to the next level.’ As you know, every single ‘Thor’ and ‘Avengers,’ he’s always in incredible shape. For him to want to take it to that next level, it was another huge challenge.”

5. Jason Isaacs

Jason Isaacs shares his fitness secrets with GQ. "I have one of the many seven-minute workout apps. It’s star jumps; wall-sits; squats; crunches; push-ups with rotation; step-ups; planks; side planks as well. All the other actors and various crew members were initially interested, and one by all they’ve all dropped off. There’s a couple of die-hards that still do it with me but I am so much better at exercising when I’ve got a workout partner.”

6. Sonequa Martin-Green

Sonequa Martin Green is open about supporting cancer charities. “What appealed to me about Stand Up To Cancer was the unity,” she told WebMD. “There is something so powerful about community, to know there are so many people from so many different disciplines in science coming together, shedding their egos, and combining their research. They’re world-changers and they’re doing it all as one, and I’m so honored to support this work.”

7. Michelle Yeoh

Kevin Mazur/Getty Images

Michelle Yeoh’s trainer, Andy Le, talked about working with her in an interview with GQ. “Her extensive background in martial arts films definitely had a great impact on how we worked together. Michelle brings a presence when the cameras are on her. You can take anyone else and teach them the same choreography and they would never be able to do it like her, she brings an X factor to her performance.”

8. Terry Farrell

Terry Farrell opened up about working on Star Trek and what she’s learned in a 2015 interview with Woman At Warp. “I think that living in the moment is important – for myself, I strive to live in the moment, challenge myself to be a better person, and challenge myself to be my authentic self. And hopefully, whenever I get the feeling that I’m a little scared to deal with something, that instead I think ‘that’s how being brave feels’ and that motivates me to deal with it and confront it. I’ve had a lot of practice this year.”

9. Gates McFadden

Gates McFadden opened up about her diet in this Tweet. “My diet does not include dairy or gluten. There are terrific crackers that are gf, most bread sucks so I bake biscuits that taste great. tofu salads, I occasionally eat fish, and am currently craving and scarfing down mochi that are made with coconut milk and are dairy & gf!”

10. Zoe Saldana

In 2016, Zoe Saldana talked to Coveteur about getting in shape for Star Trek: Beyond. “The physical side of [filming] wasn’t demanding at all for me—I asked if it was okay for me to not try to be a hero in this installment of the films. I have my sons who are six months old. But with that being said I still have a fighting scene, and I’m so happy about it. I was already in my process of slowly getting back to my normal routine with my body, so I just started doing some power yoga and a lot of floor work—breathing has been helping me a great deal. I just love it, so that’s what I was doing in my spare time.”

11. Alison Pill

Lisa O'Connor/Getty Images

Alison Pill opened up about the impact of Star Trek: Picard to Inverse.com. “I think we definitely all understand that humans are social animals and many animals are social,” Pill says. “So how do we organize ourselves by these principles that don't put us in these individual black and white boxes and get stuck in the binary way of thinking? Of good vs. bad? Or with us or against us? How, how could we operate in society if those weren't the only options? That’s what our show is about.”

12. Rebecca Romijn

John Phillips/Getty Images

Rebecca Romijn is all about self-acceptance. She talked about this in an interview with People. “I think life is a whole game of acceptance. I think when you, especially as you get older, you just have to accept certain things and accepting your looks to a certain extent is part of that, just growing up, maturity.”

13. Anson Mount

John Phillips/Getty Images

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Anson Mount opened up about the impact of the Star Trek franchise, and honoring it in Strange New Worlds. “To me, it’s super important because I grew up watching the original series when it was in syndication. That is how I discovered Star Trek. And that was the only Star Trek I had until The Next Generation. So, for me, that’s everything. And that is what we really wanted to do, something that was a throwback and homage to the original series. And almost everything we do, that consideration goes into it.”

14. Jack Quaid

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Jack Quaid opened up about his life and career to GQ. He says that he wants to respect the people he works with. “I very much have a sorry to bother you attitude in my life. I don’t want to involve anyone else. But whatever people's processes are, as long as you're not actively hurting anyone, I think it's okay.”

15. Ella Purnell

Ella Purnell talked about how she plays characters in an interview with TheFace.com. “It doesn’t matter to me if the character is likeable or not likeable. What matters to me is compelling storytelling. And if you lose the audience at episode three or four because your character is annoying, they’re not going to give a shit if you [PLOT DETAIL REDACTED] in episode 10.”

16. Wil Wheaton

David Livingston/Getty Images

Wil Wheaton talked about the changes he was making to his diet in this 2016 post on his website. In it, he talked about how he was eating healthy and approaching food. “My only vice left is ice cream, and I have ice cream almost every night. I’m not going to feel bad or apologize for it, or make any excuses. All my other meals are really good, and we are cooking our own food at least three nights a week. I track my calories in and out, and I’m staying right around 1300 calories every day, which I guess is good for a guy my age and activity level and all that stuff.”

17. Christina Chong

Christina Chong revealed in this interview that she likes to meditate. According to the Mayo Clinic, meditation has a lot of benefits. “During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress.

Rosario Dawson talked about her wellness routine to Us Weekly. She says that because of her schedule, she needs her wellness secrets to be easy and consistent. “I walk everywhere. I drink a lot of water. I try to get as much sleep as possible. Everything else about my schedule and routine is inconsistent, so if those types of things I can do, they’re really important… I can always take the stairs rather than use the elevator or the escalator.”

2. Natasha Liu Bordizzo

Natasha Liu Bordizzo shared her go-to meals in an interview with Byrdie. “For breakfast, I'll usually have muesli with coconut milk or eggs and avocado (the Aussie classic).

3. Mary Elizabeth Winstead

While promoting her Netflix film, Kate, Mary Elizabeth Winstead shared how she got in shape to do some of the stunts in the role. “Working with 87North, they give you a really good baseline in jiu jitsu,” she said on Netflix's website. “Then they throw in boxing drills and things like that. And that's one of those examples, when I said I didn't really know that I was learning the choreography. It became: ‘Ok, you're punching like we've been doing in these boxing drills. but with a knife in your hand this time.’ So I'm using the proper power behind the force of the punch now it's a knife." They're just really smart, in terms of building it into your body in a way that you don't even realize what's happening.”

4. Diana Lee Inosanto

In an interview with The Inner Circle, Diana Lee Inosanto shared some of her fitness and wellness secrets. “I love doing Yoga,” she says. “I love writing and reflecting on my life. I also love taking long scenic walks by the ocean or hiking in outdoor places. I am a nature lover!”

5. David Tennant

In an interview with the DailyMail’s Weekend Magazine, David Tennant talked about things people might not know about him. “I don't think very much about my public image,” he revealed. “I once saw the same photo of me in two magazines in the same week. One had captioned it, 'This man knows how to dress!' The other said, 'What on earth is he wearing?' Ever since then, I've chosen to follow my own spirit.”

6. Eman Esfandi

In an interview with Voyage LA, Eman Esfandi talked about his approach to acting, creating art, and making movies. “The end goal is to perpetuate a more understanding, empathetic, and selfless society through whichever means/medium possible. I hope one day I can look back on my work and feel confident knowing that it was always in pursuit of that goal. I hope one day you can look back on my work and feel anything at all.”
