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 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."

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.

Upon learning that Game of Thrones was looking for an actor with his profile for the character of Prince Oberyn Martell, he sent a video to Paulson, a close friend of actress Amanda Peet, who’s married to co-showrunner David Benioff. “First of all, it was an iPhone selfie audition, which was unusual. And this wasn’t one of the new-fangled iPhones with the fancy cameras. It looked like shit; it was shot vertical; the whole thing was very amateurish. Except for the performance, which was intense and believable and just right,” Benioff remembered in an interview with Variety. As soon as they could, Pascal and Balmaceda reunited with their children and left the country. After passing through Denmark, they moved to the United States and settled in San Antonio, Texas. For a while, Pedro’s passions were watching San Antonio Spurs basketball and swimming, but his father’s passion for films sparked his own interest in movies. Soon, Pedro dreamed of being Christian Bale on the poster for Empire of the Sun and was dazzled, ironically, by HBO programming.
