Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal belongs to those artists who became famous in adulthood. Thanks to his talent and patience, the performer became very popular and in demand after the role of Prince Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones.
Jose Pedro Balmaceda Pascal was born in the Chilean capital in 1975, on April 2, in the family of a doctor and psychologist. The younger brother of the artist Lucas also chose an artistic career.
Carier start
The family soon moved to Denmark. Then she settled in the United States. Pedro became interested in sports. He has competed in state-level swimming. But in adolescence, all hobbies were overshadowed by the theater.
The graduate studied artistic arts at the Orange Theater Studio. After the eighteenth birthday, the novice actor moved to New York. He decided to get a specialized education at the School of Arts.
The activity started from the theatrical stage. Already the first productions with Pascal's participation were successful. The award was a theater prize for the play "Orphan".
This was followed by work in the series. The young actor was invited to the cult telenovelas Law & Order, Without a Trace, New York Police, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Pascal received his share of success, but he was still far from real recognition. The main roles were not trusted yet to the novice performer.
At the end of the 2000s, Pascal received an offer to play in Rodina and Correct Wife. He was also offered to participate in the American version of the famous film "Nikita".
The film portfolio in 2011 was replenished with work in the thriller "Reality Changing". The character turned out to be so inconspicuous that it did not arouse the audience's interest.
Significant works
An abrupt turn in the biography took place in 2013. Pedro was at the casting of the famous TV saga "Game of Thrones". His character Oberyn Martell participated in only seven episodes of one season. However, the audience managed to celebrate the actor himself. They were fascinated by his bright game from the first moments.
The first appearance took place in the wedding scene of Joffrey Baratheon. The actress Indira Varma became the movie companion of the charismatic courageous hero. According to the scenario, the prince is overwhelmed with thoughts of revenge on the Lannisters. However, the aspirations remained unfulfilled due to the death of Oberin in a duel.
But the career of the artist went up after that. The fourth season of the series made the artist popular and in demand. In 2015, Pascal played the lead role in the horror film Bloodsucking Scum. The stylish picture with a moderate portion of black humor subtly ridiculed the vampire theme. The audience liked the film.
Fans were able to admire the artist in the new work "In Plain" and in "Sweets". The main character Pedro played in the TV series "Narco" about the everyday life of drug police. The plot is based on the life of the drug lord Pablo Escobar. The artist played the police officer Javier Peña. He participated in the filming for three seasons.
Since 2016, Pedro has received an invitation to the Chinese director Zhang Yimou for his Great Wall project. The film began as a classic detective story. A company of adventurers goes to the Celestial Empire to steal the secret of black powder. Soon, viewers realize that travelers will face a serious test. Their rivals will be the fantastic Taote monsters.
Much to the annoyance of the press and fans, the artist carefully closes his personal life from outsiders. There were speculations about an affair with Sarah Paulson, but no confirmation was forthcoming. The actors themselves assured the audience of friendly relations with each other.
Recognition and glory
Everything was changed by the work in "Game of Thrones". The actor not only received recognition, but also found true love. His chosen one was Lina Headey, who played Sirsei Lannister. According to the director's intention, their heroes are at enmity with each other. However, the heart of the cruel film beauty was melted in reality.
At first, the performers carefully concealed their sincere feelings. Even colleagues on the set were unaware of the romance that had begun. However, it is very difficult to hide real feelings. Soon, social networks were filled with conscientious pictures of artists with joyful comments from fans.
Pascal did not hide the fact that it was Lina who was the person who could make him smile in any situation. In 2015, information appeared about the separation of the couple. There was even information that the lovers ended the relationship shortly before the birth of their common child, the daughter of Tallulah Kiarra. Only the rumors turned out to be false. The acting couple together and together brings up the baby.
Pedro doesn't stop working. At the beginning of autumn 2017, the premiere screening of the film "Kingsman: The Golden Ring" took place. The artist reincarnated as an agent of Whiskey. In the film, a secret organization of super agents again saves the world. In 2018, three films of the performer were released at once. He participated in Perspective as Ezra, in The Great Equalizer 2 he became Dave York, and for If Beale Street Could Talk, he reincarnated as Pietro Alvarez.
New plans
In 2019, it is planned to show two works by Pedro "The Mandalorian", "Triple Border". In the second film, an action-packed thriller, Pascal will play Francisco Morales, a former pilot.
The Mandpaloretz is a new science fiction television series, a space opera based on Star Wars. Perot got one of the leading roles. The action takes place after the collapse of the Galactic Empire, but before the appearance of the First Order. A lone Mandalorian mercenary survives on the edge of the galaxy far from the laws of the New Republic.
At the beginning of June 2020, the release of the superhero film "Wonder Woman" with Gal Gadot is already scheduled. Pedro got the character of Maxwell Lord in it. According to the plot, an influential businessman Lord needs magical artifacts. He dreams of acquiring power with their help.
After meeting with archaeologist Barbara Ann Minerva, he decides to ask her for help. The found artifact turns a woman into a Cheetah. She wants to take revenge on the Lord for the transformation. He asks for the protection of Diana Prince, promising to resurrect Steve Trevor.
