HAPPY HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH - PEDRO PASCAL

Born José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal in Santiago, Chile. After his mother's death, he began using his maternal surname professionally as a tribute to her and because he felt that people in the US had difficulty pronouncing his paternal surname, Balmaceda.

He pursued acting at the Orange County School of the Arts and graduated in 1993, before attending New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where he graduated in 1997. His parents returned to Chile in 1995. After nearly two decades of taking small roles on stage and television, Pascal's breakout roles came as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones (2014) and as Javier Peña in the Netflix crime series Narcos (2015–2017). He achieved international stardom for his leading roles as Din Djarin in the Disney+ science fiction series The Mandalorian (2019–2023) and Joel Miller in the HBO post-apocalyptic drama series The Last of Us (2023–present), earning him a reputation for portraying adoptive father figures. His performance in The Last of Us earned him numerous accolades, including an Actor Award for Outstanding Male Actor in a Drama Series.

Pascal is a vocal advocate of LGBTQ+ rights and was supportive of his sister Lux Pascal when she came out as transgender. We encourage you to learn more about Pedro Pascal.
