Everyone remembers the first time they have seen Pedro Pascal. Or, at least they have to remember. For most of us, it is when we saw him as Prince Oberyn Martell in the hit series HBO Game of Thrones. And in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Pascal credited The role to change all his career. Before the series, he was in things like Graceland,, featuring Aaron Tveitand was famous in an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. But he had not yet struck him “big” and the actor said that it allowed him to continue to obtain roles like Javier Peña Narcos.
“It has changed the game,” he told the publication. Oberyn joined the series in season 4 of Game of Thrones. “This is the reason why I am here now, I think. I don’t think I know. I still can’t believe it happened [showrunners] David Benioff [and] Dan Weiss would take this chance. »» David Benioff And DB Weiss brought the spectacle to the fans for 8 seasons, and at the time, Pascal did work outside Broadway, very different from now, where he is Reed Richards The Fantastic Four: First steps. “They could have had, I don’t know, whoever they wanted and that they actually paid attention to someone who had a lot of regional theater, off-breadway work and episodic television on his curriculum vitae to enter this kind of Participate in the height of their popularity“He said.” And to date, I am sort of indebted to them for my career. »»
He told Vanity Fair that he was “such a fan of the show” and said that even if he should not become the Mega Star, he is because of this today, he would have always found Oberyn to be “special” for him. “I was obsessed with the show,” he said. “To go and be with this set and on these places in a comfortable costume and in a very good role? I could barely F —— To believe what happened to me, to be honest with you.”
A scene from “Game of Thrones” Blowing Pedro Pascal’s mind
Oberyn Martell comes to King’s landing on a mission: he wants to find the man responsible for the death of his sister. This man is the mountain (HAFTHOR Júlíus Björnsson). But this mission has led to a scene where everyone is sitting at a table, including Charles Dance,, Peter DinklageAnd the whole Lannister family. Pascal said: “I was sitting in the throne room during Tyrion’s trial and I had a view of everyone and I was with all these main players and It was just crazy,He said.
Tragically, Oberyn Martell is killed by the mountain, and despite the dagger with a poisoned knife, it is not enough to defeat the mountain. Instead, the mountain brutally murdered Oberyn by crushing his eyes in his skull. But for Pascal, he said it was more pleasant than we would imagine. “As violent as he looks, He pressed himself very gently against my eyes. You might think that all its weight would be on me with the costume. I didn’t feel it at all.
