We have all known him as the fierce, vengeful Oberyn Martel in Game of Thrones and the DEA Javier Peña in Netflix’s Narcos. Today, Chilean-born American actor, Pedro Pascal has acquired an incredible amount of success from the HBO hit show, The Last of Us, where he plays the brave and resilient Joel Miller who is on his journey with his traveling companion Ellie (Bella Ramsey) to find the cure for the contagious Cordyceps infection plaguing the world. This is while simultaneously portraying The Mandalorian on the also wildly popular Disney Plus series.
Born on April 2, 1975, in Santiago, Chile, Pascal moved to the United States with his family at a very young age. Prior to achieving immense fame as fan-favorite Joel Miller, he was known for starring in a variety of films and television series. However, it was his role as Prince Oberyn Martell, the youngest Martell brother in Game of Thrones which catapulted him into stardom.
He made his entrance in season four of the series alongside some of the show’s established stars like Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, and Charles Dance. His breakthrough performance as the vengeful brother of Elia Martell and a shocking, tragic death at the hands of the Mountain put him on the map and paved the way for more promising projects.
Thereafter, we saw him landing big, prestigious projects such as the 2015 film Bloodsucking Bastards where he played Max as well as the Netflix hit series Narcos. Before his recognition and success, he had minor roles in some well-known television series like Homeland and The Good Wife.
Some of his other well-known projects where the 47-year-old actor made his appearances over the years include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, NYPD Blue, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and Good vs. Evil, to name a few.
Well, success and fame go hand-in-hand with a lot of popular curiosity and in Pascal’s case, fans are interested to know the amount of fortune the actor has managed to accumulate for himself over the years. This is primarily because of the massive success of his new HBO series, The Last of Us, which has made Pascal a household name today.
The post-apocalyptic series is based on the 2013 video game of the same name developed by Naughty Dog and is all set to release 10 episodes for its first season. It is believed that Pascal is currently earning a hefty sum of around $600,000 per episode, and earns a reportedly undisclosed amount per episode of The Mandalorian.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, his estimated net worth as of 2023 stands at $10 million. Undoubtedly, his salary from his recent popular show has massively added to his fortune but his countless other roles from the past have also enabled him to hit the million-dollar mark.
Today, Pascal is one of the most sought-after and talented actors in the industry and millions of fans wish to see him in more popular and ambitious future projects.
