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. 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].”
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. 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."

Heidi Gentle Burrell said it was a "shame" that Pascal hadn't got in but it was a "lovely feeling" that he and his friends were aware of the exhibition. 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. The exhibition, ADHD Hyper Fixation And Why It Looks Like I Love Pedro Pascal, was created by artist Heidi Gentle Burrell, who said it was a “lovely feeling” that her muse was aware of her work, and she did not blame Rhodes Robb for missing Pascal, saying she “deserves a day off”.

In another indication that Pascal is a star on the rise, he recently hosted Saturday Night Live. That night, the musical guest was Coldplay, and Chris Martin, the band’s singer, dedicated the performance of Fix You to Pascal: “This one’s for Pedro and Veronica.” “And the tears come streaming down your face, when you lose something you can’t replace, when you love someone, but it goes to waste. Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you,” says the song Martin composed after the death of the father of his then-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. 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. But who is Veronica and what happened to her? This cookie is set by Akamai. This cookie is used for DNS Prefetch and HTTP2 Push.

The show’s numbers are going toe to toe with those of series like Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, which is saying a lot. The Last of Us has also confirmed the global male star status of Pedro Pascal, a 47-year-old actor who was completely unknown 10 years ago. Earlier this month, Jimmy Fallon summed up all of the success the actor has had the over the last decade: “ The Last of Us is the biggest thing in the world right now. But then you also have the premiere of the third season of The Mandalorian in March.” And went on with the list: “ Game of Thrones, homerun. Narcos, homerun. The Mandalorian, homerun and now The Last of Us. Come on, man, I’m jealous!” Pascal, who seemed to be in disbelief of his accomplishments, joked in retort: “And that’s the end.” To which Fallon replied, “No way, it’s just the beginning.” He’s not the only one praising the Chilean actor: Robert Rodriquez, who directed him in the Netflix film We Can Be Heroes, said said that Pascal reminds him of Harrison Ford: “He can be funny, he can be very intense, he can be very heroic. But he’s also very human and warm.” This is a consent cookie set by Dailymotion to store the CCPA consent string (mandatory information about an end-user being or not being a California consumer and exercising or not exercising its statutory right).

Veronica is Pedro’s mother, and the actor explained part of her story in his opening monologue that night. “I was born in Chile and nine months later, my family had to escape Pinochet and brought me and my sisters to the United States. They were very brave and without them I would not be in this wonderful country.” Pedro Pascal, wearing Prada, posed for EL PAÍS in 2020.
