The Plot: Based on the video game of the same name, The Last of Us The story takes place on an Earth ravaged by a fungal plague turning people into zombies. Joel (Pascal) travels with and protects Ellie (Bella Ramsey), who resists the plague.

How He Steals The Show: Pascal proved to be one of the most appealing things about the show. Even though the world has fallen apart around him and even though he has suffered grave losses (like almost everyone else on Earth), Joel still holds true to his moral compass and to his loyalty to Ellie. Pascal captures Joel’s strength and his vulnerability equally. His raw humanity makes this one of his best roles.

A Story Behind The Scenes: Pascal is now linked to Joel. The HBO show left space for original game voice actors. Troy Baker, Joel's game voice actor, appears as a villain in the eighth episode, James, who follows a cult leader. Ashley Johnson, who voiced Ellie in the game, joined the TV show as Ellie’s mother in the finale.

Javi is a rich playboy and a Cage fan. Javi hires his idol for a birthday party. The CIA then recruits Cage for a secret mission to stop an arms dealer Javi allegedly leads.

How He Steals The Show:Pedro Pascal shows he can be a goofball when the role demands it. Pascal is talented as a dramatic performer. His roles in The Mandalorian and Game of Thrones show silliness hiding beneath the surface. Seeing him use this side of his talent is great. It is even more amazing to watch him match Cage, who, despite being odd, is a major screen star.The MandalorianandGame of Thronesshow demonstrate - there’s always a bit of silliness lurking beneath the surface, just waiting to break free. It’s highly enjoyable to see him let this part of his talent take the lead, and it’s all the more extraordinary to see him hold his own against the likes of Cage who, however idiosyncratic he might be, is nevertheless a giant of the screen.

A Story Behind The Scenes:One memorable scene shows Pascal’s Javi Gutierrez displaying Cage memorabilia, including a strange, unsettling pillow. Pascal recalled that Cage thought the pillow was weird and changed it using its sequins. Pascal changed it back. Funnily enough,This scene was totally improvised.actually made it into the final film, and it is better for it.

The Plot:As the title suggests, NarcosThe series uses true stories of drug lords. Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) appears in the first two seasons. The third season picks up after Escobar dies. The whole series also focuses on the DEA and its fight against cartels.

How He Steals The Show:Pascal plays Javier Peña, a DEA member leading the charge to kill Escobar and the cartels. Focusing only on Escobar and his actions would be easy, but Peña becomes the most interesting character. Though he represents the law, he holds dark secrets. He acts on his own morally gray choices to achieve what he calls justice.

A Story Behind-The-Scenes:Pascal’s Peña, like other characters in Narcos,is based on a real person. The real Peña made a cameo with Steve Murphy. They both play patrons at a bar as news of Escobar's death spreads.

The Plot:This second part of the Equalizerrejoins Denzel Washington's Robert McCall. He seeks revenge after his friend dies, killed by Dave York (Pascal), a former operative and Robert's partner now a hired killer.

How He Steals The Show:Pascal plays villains well. This is true especially in The Equalizer 2.This role, unlike some of his other villainous parts, does not try to make him sympathetic. Still, people watch him constantly on screen, matching wits and physical stamina against someone of Washington’s stature.

Behind the scenes story for The Equalizer 2.This film is the second time Pascal plays a character with his eyes gouged out on screen.Pascal humorously recounted:“I had to tell them, I was like, ‘you know this is a reference in something specific,” and they were like, ‘what?” And I was like, ‘don't worry about it.”

The Plot:Pedro Pascal appears in a remarkably stacked cast in Triple Frontier,where he plays Francisco "Catfish" Morales. He joins a group of former soldiers who go to South America to steal from a drug lord.

How He Steals The Show:WhileTriple Frontiermight not win awards for a new heist film formula, it earns credit for its great cast. Pascal acts well with other strong talents like Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac. Morales delivers funny lines, and he gets enough backstory to make him interesting (he goes on the mission to raise money for his kid).

Behind the scenes story for Triple Frontier.To get the right realism in the film, cast members were actually trained by military personnel. This included army workouts and using live ammunition, which affected how the cast acted on set.

The Plot:Game of Thronesgave Pascal many chances to appear in speculative fiction projects, including 2018’s Prospect.He plays Ezra, one of the film's villains. As a prospector for gems on a distant moon, he faces many clashes with a young woman named Cee (Sophie Thatcher) before they form a shaky alliance.

How He Steals The Show:InProspect,Pascal shows he can do much with little explicit, scripted character development. Though Ezra lacks a backstory, Pascal's acting has cynicism and sadness, suggesting he has more than meets the eye. Pascal acts best paired with a young person he mentors.

Behind the scenes story for Prospect.A major plot point involves Ezra’s arm getting infected with poisonous moon spores. Keeping with the rest of Prospect,which uses practical effects more than special effects, the dust was real, filmed in a basement and added to the shot with hard work.

The Plot:Ethan Coen directed this caper film. It follows two lesbian friends, Jamie and Marian (Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan). Their road trip gets messy when they find an object wanted by powerful people. Pedro Pascal appears early as Santos, one of those who first had the briefcase.

How He Steals The Show:Pascal gets the most out of his brief role, even though his part is short. Pascal plays silly, just like everyone else in this light caper. He fits the Coen style well. He shows just the right amount of paranoid twitchiness. Pascal even steals the scene while he gets killed and decapitated. The only issue is his time in the film is short.

A Story Behind The Scenes:Miley Cyrus makes a cameo as Tiffany Plastercaster. She is the sex worker who made plaster casts of famous politicians' genitals. The singer and actress's appearance affected the rest of the cast. Geraldine Viswanathan became starstruck by Cyrus. She even made sure she was on set the day Cyrus appeared, even though she also felt too starstruck to speak.too star-struck to speak.

The Plot:This film mixes office comedy and horror. Office employees discover their new boss is a vampire. Chaos starts when Max (Pascal) begins eating the office staff, killing some and turning others.

How He Steals The Show:Any film casting Pedro Pascal as a bloodsucker offers great fun. He certainly makes a meal of the role. It may not have hit fans or critics hard, but Pascal is a highlight. He charms viewers, who root for him as he bites office members. Pascal understands the role of a mean, ruthless boss. It's a miracle this role didn't become his main association.

A Story Behind The Scenes:Pascal is compelling in this role, but he has played a vampire before. He played one in the popular series Buffy the Vampire Slayer,where he was set up as a love interest for the main character. Instead, he turned into a vampire and got stakedby the end of the episode.
