Actor

As the scion of Chilean parents, Pedro Pascal has made a name for himself in Hollywood with his chiseled features and captivating on-screen presence. His breakthrough role came when he played Prince Oberyn Martell in HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones," where his charisma and sword-fighting skills earned him a devoted fan base. But it was his turn as Javier Peña, the dogged DEA agent, in Netflix's crime drama "Narcos" that cemented his status as a rising star. Pascal's versatility shines through in these roles, from Oberyn's seductive charm to Peña's stoic determination. Pascal has continued to flex his acting muscles with notable performances in films like "The Great Wall," where he played a warrior priest, and "Wonder Woman 1984," where he played the villainous Maxwell Lord. His signature style often involves bringing a sense of gravitas and authenticity to his characters, making them both complex and compelling. With a slew of upcoming projects on the horizon, including the highly anticipated Amazon series "The Lord of the Rings" prequel, Pascal is poised to solidify his status as one of Hollywood's most in-demand leading men.
