Pedro Pascal: A Look at His Hottest and Most Intriguing Roles

Sandra Fernandez Arts & Entertainment

I’m a big fan of apocalypse movies and TV shows, series where the world is ending because of a plague or a disease or a natural disaster or zombies, and the survivors are valiantly trying to… well, survive. The new HBO series “The Last of Us” is a highly-anticipated television adaptation of the critically acclaimed video game of the same name. The show is set in (surprise!) a post-apocalyptic world where a fungus has wiped out most of humanity and follows the journey of a hardened survivor named Joel and a young girl named Ellie. Pedro Pascal is moody and gruff in the lead role of Joel, a character known for his fierce determination and love for Ellie.

The show is on HBO on Sunday nights and has made my weekly “must-watch” list. Fans of the game are eagerly awaiting to see how Pascal will bring the character to life on the small screen and how he will bring the nuances and complexity of the character to the forefront. What I’ve seen, from the premiere episode, is that with his diverse range of performances, Pedro Pascal is the perfect choice to play the role of Joel. I can’t wait to see him in action in more episodes of this series. (Check out the series trailer below, to see what I’m raving about.)

Pedro Pascal is a heartthrob and a chameleon regarding his acting skills. He has proven time and time again that he is capable of tackling a wide range of roles with ease and finesse. And he’s been the lead in several shows and movies where he’s really stood out.

One of Pascal’s most notable performances was in the hit DC film “Wonder Woman 1984,” where he played the role of Max Lord, a charismatic businessman with nefarious plans. Pascal brought a unique energy to the role, making the character both charming and terrifying. He also made great on-screen chemistry with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.

Pascal also left a lasting impression on audiences with his portrayal of Javier Peña in the hit Netflix series “Narcos.” As a DEA agent on a mission to take down Pablo Escobar, Pascal’s character brings a sense of intensity and danger to the show. He has been praised for his ability to convey a complex and nuanced character.

Pascal’s most iconic role was as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” His portrayal of the charismatic and deadly prince was electrifying and heartbreaking, and he quickly became a fan favorite. Pascal’s performance was praised by critics, with many calling it one of the best of the series. He was one of my favorites, though his character was short-lived on the show.

More recently, Pascal has been making waves with his lead role in the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian.” As the titular character, Pascal has brought a sense of humanity and vulnerability to a character mostly covered in armor. He has also been praised for his chemistry with the show’s breakout star, Baby Yoda. I must admit that this is my favorite of all of his performances. I love this show, and I have especially enjoyed his performance in the show. Of course, it helps that I’m such a big fan of the Star Wars universe. (Check out the trailer for Season 3!)

With such a diverse range of performances under his belt, Pedro Pascal is definitely an actor to watch out for. He has an incredible talent for bringing characters to life in a way that is both captivating and believable, and I can’t wait to see what he’ll do next. He’ll definitely keep you on the edge of your seat with his performances, whether it be in a fantasy epic, a crime drama, or a space western!
