Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal is one of those artists who became famous in adulthood. Thanks to his talent and patience, the performer became very popular and popular after the role of Prince Oberin Martell in the 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 settled in the United States. Pedro became interested in sports. He has participated in state-level swimming competitions. But in adolescence, all hobbies were eclipsed by the theater.
A graduate studied art at the Orange Theater Studio. After eighteen years, the aspiring actor moved to New York. He decided to get a specialized education at the School of Arts.
Activities started from the theatrical stage. Already the first productions with the participation of Pascal were successful. The award was a theater prize for the play "Orphan".
This was followed by work in the series. The young lyceum was invited to the cult telenovelas “Law and Order”, “Without a Trail”, “New York Police”, and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. Pascal received his share of success, but to the present recognition was still far away. The main roles have not yet been trusted to the novice performer.
At the end of the two thousandths, Pascal received an offer to play in “Homeland” and “Right Wife”. He was also offered to participate in the American version of the famous film "Nikita".
The film portfolio in 2011 replenished with work in the thriller "Changing Reality". The character turned out to be so inconspicuous that it did not arouse spectator interest.
Significant works
A sharp turn of the biography occurred in 2013. Pedro was at the casting of the famous telesagi "Game of Thrones." His hero Oberyn Martell participated in only seven episodes of one season. However, the audience managed to mark the actor himself. They were under the spell of his vibrant game from the first moments.
The first appearance took place in the wedding scene of Joffrey Baratheon. The actress Indira Varma became the cinematic satellite of the charismatic courageous hero. According to the scenario of the prince, thoughts of revenge on the Lannisters are overwhelmed. However, the aspirations remained unfulfilled due to the death of Oberin in a duel.
But the artist’s career then went up. The fourth season of the series made the artist popular and in demand. In 2015, Pascal played a major role in the horror movie Bloodsucking Scum. In a stylish picture with a moderate portion of black humor, a vampire theme was subtly ridiculed. The audience liked the movie.
Fans were able to admire the artist in the new work “In sight” and in “Sweets”. The main character Pedro played in the series "Narco" about the everyday life of drug police. The plot is based on the life of drug lord Pablo Escobar. The artist played a police officer Javier Peña. He participated in the filming for three seasons.
Since 2016, Pedro has received an invitation from Chinese director Zhang Yimou to his Great Wall project. The film began as a classic detective story. The company of adventurers is heading to China to steal the secret of black powder. Soon, viewers realize that travelers will face a serious test. Fantastic monsters of Taote will become their rivals.
To a considerable chagrin of the press and fans, the artist carefully closes his personal life from strangers. Assumptions were made about the affair with Sarah Paulson, but there was no confirmation. The actors themselves assured the public in friendly relations with each other.
Recognition and glory
Everything changed the work in the Game of Thrones. The actor not only received recognition, but also found true love. His chosen one was Lina Headey, who played Circe Lannister. According to the director's plan, their heroes are at enmity with each other. However, the heart of the cruel film beauty was actually melted.
At first, the performers carefully concealed the sincere feelings. Even the colleagues on the set were unaware of the novel that had begun. However, it’s very difficult to hide real feelings. Soon, social networks were filled with conscience images of artists with joyful comments from fans.
Pascal did not hide that it was Lina who was the person who could make him smile in all situations. In 2015, information appeared on the separation of the couple. Even information appeared that the lovers had terminated the relationship shortly before the birth of their common child, the daughter of Tallulah Kiarra. Only the rumors were false. The acting couple together and together brings up the baby.
Pedro does not stop working. In early autumn 2017, the premiere screening of the painting "Kingsman: The Golden Ring" was held. The artist turned into an agent of Whiskey. In the picture, the secret organization of superagents once again saves the world. In 2018, three film works of the performer were released at once. He participated in “Perspective” in the image of Ezra, in “Great Equalizer 2” he became Dave York, and for “If Beale Street Could Talk, ” reincarnated as Pietro Alvarez.
