The first appearance on the screen of Pedro Pascal
Pedro Pascal has come a long way since its inception. The Chilo-American actor made his very first appearance on the screen in 1999 in the MTV Undressed anthology series. (In France, it was broadcast in 2007 under the title “Hailed!” On MCM).
Broadcast between 1999 and 2002, this series followed the romantic and sexual relationships of young people, high school students or students in Los Angeles. Undressed was avant-garde enough for the time and aroused controversy in the United States for its frank representation of all sexualities.
Pedro Pascal appeared in three episodes of the series for a plot centered between Andy (Nicholas Gonzalez) and Joel (Eyal Podell). The two young men argue about the alleged bisexuality of Joel.
Worried, Andy and his friend Greg (Pedro Pascal, credited under the name of Pedro Balmaceda) organize a kind of “gay intervention” (and Greg will prepare cookies) because Andy does not support that his boyfriend, just out be bi.
Pedro Pascal also made his debut in this cult series!
But among his first projects, his most famous first appearance on the screen remains his role in the cult series Buffy against vampires! Still in 1999, Pedro Pascal, who called himself Pedro Balmaceda at the time, appeared in the first episode of season 4 of the series carried by Sarah Michelle Gellar.
He embodied Eddie, a psycho student at the University of Sunnydale. One evening, lost on campus, Eddie sympathizes with Buffy. But unfortunately he was attacked by the Vampire Sunday and his henchmen.
Seeing that Eddie is not present during the following psycho, Buffy will investigate his ladle disappearance, especially as a word has been left on his bed suggesting that he abandoned college.
Buffy will quickly discover that Sunday is behind the disappearances of students, which she passes for leaks or abandonments. If Buffy manages to overcome Sunday, she has no other choice than to kill Eddie, who has become a vampire.
In recent years, Pedro Pascal has returned to this role in Buffy against the vampires, who saved him, and who allowed him to meet Sarah Michelle Gellar, who still remembers their meeting!
Season 2 of “The Last of Us” is being broadcast on the Max platform.
