The effect Pedro Pascal has on the world is just insurmountable.
In an interview withDen of Geek, director Robert Rodriquez even compared the actor to Harrison Ford.
“He’s like this everyman bang out guy,” he said.
“He can be funny, he can be really intense, he can be very heroic.”
But his rise to fame didn’t exactly come easy.
At the time, Pascal’s parents worked for an opposition movement against Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet.
From there, the family was sent to Denmark and then the U.S. for political asylum.
“My dad is so impressed,” Pascal revealed.
“He’s so amazed.
And so happy,” the actor added.
“I was obsessed with drama and classic movies and reading plays,” Pascal toldThe New York Times.
“It was in the House of Devotion, which was held every Thursday in Morocco nightclub.”
But don’t get the wrong idea Pascal made sure to clarify that it wasnota strip club.
“I did not take my clothes off, but I danced and wore silver hair.”
Sadly, just as Pascal’s career was getting started, his mother died unexpectedly.
“She was always incredibly supportive, never a stage mom,” Pascal said toPeople.
“I always felt like she knew something that I didn’t.”
He also explained that the name change helped eliminate any difficulty Americans had in pronouncing Balmaceda.
“I was willing to do absolutely anything to work more,” he toldVariety.

He continues, “And now people are like, ‘Don’t ever get rid of your mustache.
You look like my grandmother without it.'”
“I get away with what I can,” he admitted.
As part of the deal, he starred in a series ofcommercialsfor the brand.
We’ll go ahead and assume that’s what Pascal smells like too.
Although he may not show much emotion as Mando, Pascal clearly has a soft spot for Grogu.
“Oh my gosh, what are his first words?”
he said, pondering.
“It has to be daddy.”
“And he’s somebody who takes his craft very seriously.”
To win over Pascal, Favreau gave Pascal an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the storyboard, and it worked.
During its first week, it racked in an impressive 100.3 million views.
Pascal plays a darker but familiar fatherly role to his role in “The Mandalorian.”
The show instantly became a hit, ranking as HBO’s second-largest debut for an original series since 2010.
The daddy term has become so synonymous with Pascal that he’s even spoken about it in countless interviews.
He then continued, “But daddy is like a state of mind…
I’m your daddy.”
