When discussing his character in the "Cast" episode of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, Weathers likens Karga to "a combination of John Huston and Orson Welles." For those who don't know, John Huston is famous for writing and directing several landmark films, including The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of Sierra Madre, and The Asphalt Jungle, while also starring in high-profile movies such as Chinatown and Battle for the Planet of the Apes. Welles, a giant of cinema history, is best known for co-writing, directing, and starring in the groundbreaking 1941 motion picture Citizen Kane. He also directed and starred in several other classic movies, including The Stranger, The Lady from Shanghai, and Touch of Evil.
Whether or not you're familiar with either of these aforementioned men, there is no denying that Karga shares some qualities with both. As Weathers puts it, "There is this largesse about him. There is this commanding sort of presence about him that he doesn't try to do, but that's just who he is. When he walks into a space, not a room, any space, he fills that space."
