Currently, Pedro Pascal is highly sought-after and popular within the Hollywood acting scene. He has recently appeared in “The Last of Us” season 2, previously played a role in “Gladiator,” and soon will be seen in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” His talent and performance have resonated well with both audiences and critics, leading to further opportunities in sought-after productions.

It wasn’t an overnight success for him; instead, he persistently worked towards it while going unnoticed for years. In an interview with Vanity Fair, he even contemplated abandoning acting to become a nurse or theatre teacher. However, friends who encouraged him and saw potential in his talent persuaded him otherwise, providing support during challenging times.

Among them was Sarah Paulson, who revealed in an interview with Esquire, that she provided financial aid to Pascal during a tough phase of his life prior to his career’s successful takeoff.

Through their backing, Pascal persevered in his acting pursuit and eventually showcased his talent to the world. A pivotal moment in his career was landing the role of Oberyn Martell in “Game of Thrones,” which catapulted him into global stardom and made him a beloved figure among viewers. Following this TV series, he secured additional roles that contributed to his success and brought him to where he stands today, including parts in “The Mandalorian” and “The Last of Us.
