In the meantime, the full range of Pascal’s talents are on display as Joel Miller in The Last of Us. The show is the TV hit of the season and has propelled the actor’s rise to global stardom. When the adaptation of the popular video game was announced, everyone wanted to be part of it, largely because of the involvement of screenwriter Craig Mazin, who was also responsible for the award-winning Chernobyl. Pascal was chosen to play the show’s taciturn main character, although there was some initial confusion. During his appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, he explained that he was in London when Mazin called him from the United States and asked, “Will you wait up while I talk to the producer of the video game?” Pascal said he would, but after a while he took a sleeping pill and fell asleep. At the time, I had ADHD and I was just watching him in a lot of stuff and I thought actually he's got an incredibly interesting face," she said.

I have spent more than six months staring at his face so it would be great [to meet him]. I think every artist would feel the same. You don’t ever do something for validation but we’re only human, so to have someone appreciate what you’ve done is, of course, an absolutely lovely feeling. His friendships with others in the industry have fed his success. Director Patty Jenkins, with whom he had worked on an abortive project early in his career, offered him the role of the pathetic egomaniac Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984. Later, Jon Favreau cast him as the silent bounty hunter Din Djarin in The Mandalorian. He will soon co-star in Pedro Almodóvar’s long-awaited film Strange Way of Life.

To have your actual subject look at themselves [in your artwork] – a person is so familiar with themselves in a mirror, they’re the only person that can really say whether you’ve got a likeness. In June of 2022, we learned that acclaimed filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar was working on a new, 30-minute short film about a pair of middle-aged gunslingers reuniting across the desert after 25 years apart. She added: "There's a part two to the show coming soon which we'd actually arranged even before he went along to see it, so there'll be all new stuff.Pedro was born in Chile just two years after the coup d’état that overthrew (and killed) then president Salvador Allende. Both his father and mother, Jose Balmaceda and Veronica Pascal, were listed as enemies of the violently repressive Pinochet regime and were closely watched and controlled. His mother, Veronica, was the niece of Andres Pascal Allende, leader of the country’s Revolutionary Left Movement and president Allende’s nephew.

The next day he woke up anxious. “The first thing that occurred to me was like, ‘Oh man, I really want that job.’ …I’m going to wait by the phone all day long,’” until he looked at his cell phone and saw dozens of congratulatory messages. He had gotten the role but was unable to remember the conversation in which he had accepted it. It seemed like part of a dream. Perhaps that of a child in exile, watching HBO in his room.

Following his mother’s death, which shattered him, Pedro lost his agent and his career slowed down. As a tribute to his mom, he decided to change his last name to hers. But there was another reason for the name change as well. “Americans had a hard time pronouncing Balmaceda. It was exhausting.” He also considered changing Pedro to Alexander (after Fanny and Alexander, one of his favorite movies) for similar reasons. “I was willing to do absolutely anything to work more.” When directors read Pedro’s name they expected the appearance of a racial stereotype, something like Pancho Villa. But the man they saw looked more European than Latino. “Why are you so white but your name is Pedro?” he was asked. The answer, he told EL PAÍS in a 2017 interview, lies in his roots: “My grandfather was Basque and my grandmother [was] from Mallorca, [Spain].” This cookie is used to detect and defend when a client attempt to replay a cookie.This cookie manages the interaction with online bots and takes the appropriate actions.

But what did that touching dedication mean? By now, most people know who Chilean-born actor Pedro Pascal is. He has appeared in three of the latest TV hits, playing Westeros’s screw-happy Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones, Baby Yoda’s masked babysitter in The Mandalorian and Joel Miller, the reluctant hero in the most recent TV phenomenon The Last of Us.

In his free time, Shane loves going for runs and playing with his 16-year-old beagle Butterscotch. Butters for short, she has been the greatest love of his and inspires him everyday, both creatively and emtionally. On top of that, he's now a huge collector. He loves Funko Pop, McFarlane Toys, and Neca's huge line of horror figures. In the last two years he has been going to a lot of conversations to buy an unhealthy amount of figures. This has also allowed him to meet some of his favorite filmmakers/actors like Mike Flanagan, Matthew Lillard, John Carpenter, Grace Caroline Curry, Steve Burns and Kathryn Newton.I think Ang Lee made a wonderful movie, but I never believed that they would give me complete freedom and independence to make what I wanted," Almodóvar told IndieWire. "Nobody told me that — they said, 'You can do whatever you want,' but I knew that there was a limitation." We also learned that that film, titled Strange Way of Life, would star Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke in those main, gay, cowboy roles. Strange Way of Life screened at the Cannes film festival and is released on 25 September for one night only in UK and Irish cinemas.
