Pedro Pascal Says He Owes His Acting Career To Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Before he was Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones, Din Djarin on The Mandalorian, or Joel on The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal appeared in one episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Eddie in 1999. As it turns out, that episode helped save Pascal’s professional acting career.
He told Entertainment Tonight that his “entry level” career in acting before his more recent breakout successes spanned a period of around 15 years. During that time, Pascal said he faced issues paying rent and had “less than $7 in my account.” Then a residual check for the popular vampire series appeared in his mailbox and changed everything.
“A residual from Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed up and saved the day and literally is the reason I was able to stay in it and not give up,” he said.
