Except for a group of The Mandalorian He is replaced by a double under the armor of the galactic hero, Pedro Pascal, everywhere. At 48 years old, the actor – who recently received a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series – has found his place in the world of soap operas (The Mandalorian, The Last of Us, Narcos, Game of Thrones…), from cinema (Kingsman 2, Wonder Woman 2, Bubble…) Likewise, you only have to look on social networks to see that the star is today the public's favorite, often described as the ideal “hot daddy”.
Deferred success for Pedro Pascal
A deserved success given the actor's talent, but it was never going to see the light of day. Or at least not like this. Because, as surprising as it may seem upon discovering the enormous career he's building, he's long since thought about giving it all up.
“It took me fifteen years to find a place for myselfhe recently told Entertainment Tonight. By that I mean getting to a level where I can see a doctor, be able to have surgery, and be able to pay my rentPedro Pascal revealed: “This era is still punctuated by small roles in secret projects, as Hollywood does not seem to have decided to open its doors to him:”At one point I had less than seven dollars in my bank account“.

How reruns of the series saved his career
A tense situation that is difficult to deal with on a daily basis, which finally takes an unexpected turn thanks to an unparalleled heroine. In 1999, the actor was recruited to play Eddie, Buffy's new friend, in the first episode of the series' fourth season. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A very brief role, which still sees him transformed into a bloodthirsty creature, but is extremely important to his career.
And for good reason, Buffy – Today it is considered one of the best series of all time, and has long been one of its strongest channels (The WB, then UPN) in terms of audience, spurring many other small channels in the country to acquire rebroadcast rights. A union system is very important in the USA, because it allows actors/writers to continue making money, even long after the series has ended. Simply put, once an episode airs, money is paid to all parties involved. Inevitably, the more episodes or rebroadcasts, the higher the sums. All of this of course fits into what was negotiated at the beginning of the contracts.
To that end, you must understand that this is exactly what happened with Pedro Pascal. “One day, Buffy's proceeds started arriving, which saved meIt is to explain. This is the real reason I was able to stay in Hollywood and not give up“.
