news culture Prior to The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal starred in this iconic ’90s series
Today we only hear from Pedro Pascal, the actor who had the lead role in The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, but do you know what one of his very first roles is?
In which series did Pedro Pascal start his career?
Pedro Pascal is one of the indispensable stars today. It must be said that the 47-year-old actor directs several flagship series, starting with The Mandalorian but also and most notably The Last of Us, an HBO Max series that has broken all records. As a reminder, in just 24 hours, episode 9 of the series has been viewed more than 8 million times, which is absolutely insane. But before he got there he also went through Narcos, the revolutionary series Game of Thrones and especially Buffy The Vampire Slayer… Yes, That’s right, the actor was actually in the cast of this ’90s flagship series.
It was Sarah Michelle Gellar, the actress who played simply Buffy Summers on Buffy Against the Vampires, who sold the wick. She indeed posted a lovely memoir on her Instagram account where we can catch the now famous actor performing. All his passages were also found on YouTube a few weeks ago.
Before he fought the zombies, Pedro Pascal was a vampire
That was in an interview conducted by Entertainment Tonight Pedro Pascal reacted to the publication of Sarah Michelle Gellar. He actually admits that he hasn’t forgotten anything from that moment now that it’s been more than 20 years.
I remember every moment of filming this episode, as short as it was she was such a sweet co-star and we had the best time. I remember she had ice cream in her trailer and gave it to me. (…) It was a night shoot and at the time I was acting in Long Beach and I had to miss the premiere because we had to shoot this very, very short sequence. I remember everything. I could go on. I could tell you every detail step by step. I had to eat with the vampire mask on. And she was incredibly nice. She taught me how to use a punching bag to pull off my stunt. That was the best.

In another interview, this time by Access Hollywood, Pedro Pascal also gave the name of the episode in which he stars as Eddie: “The episode is called The Freshman. It’s the first of Season 4, so that was very important.” Unfortunately, Pedro Pascal’s character doesn’t last long on the show, as he ends up being turned into a vampire very quickly.
