Leslye Headland created “The Acolyte” based on “Star Wars” by George Lucas, and also serves as an executive producer. He added, “And then Carmen forwarded my contact to Leslye, and then Leslye and I met and we talked about the character and a little bit about the show…but yeah we've talked and we got along and then the next thing you know she called me up and left a voicemail on my phone and asked if I wanted to be a part of the Star Wars galaxy.”
Jacinto was in Mexico when he got a voicemail from Headland informing him that he got the role in “The Acolyte.” Jacinto said working with the cast including Korean actor Lee Jung-jae was an incredible experience.
