Pedro Pascal became a household name in the same way people fall in love or go bankrupt: gradually, then suddenly. While the back-to-back success of “The Mandalorian” and “The Last of Us” turned him into one of 2023’s biggest stars, he spent much of the past decade gradually working his way through some of Hollywood’s most high profile franchises. Before he joined “Star Wars,” there was “Game of Thrones.” Many fans were exposed to Pascal for the first time during his seven episode run as Oberyn Martell on the Westeros-set HBO series.
