Pedro Pascal is one of the rare actors who somehow makes every role feel personal. Whether he’s playing a masked bounty hunter, a grieving father figure, or a DEA agent navigating dangerous territory, he brings this quiet intensity that always pulls you in. It's the reason we can't get enough of Materialists, we're watching out for all The Fantastic Four news, and we can't stop watching the Eddington trailer!
It’s not just the charm (though, yes, it’s very much there)—it’s the way he layers vulnerability into even the most hardened characters. If you're looking to binge some of his best work or just want to revisit why everyone’s obsessed, here are 10 standout Pedro Pascal performances in movies and TV shows that show off just how much range he’s got.

HBO Max
The Last of Us — Stream on HBO Max
This is the role that turned casual fans into full-on stans. As Joel Miller in The Last of Us, Pascal plays a deeply wounded man navigating a brutal post-apocalyptic world. But what hits hardest is the slow, reluctant bond he forms with Ellie. It’s raw, heartbreaking, and probably one of the most emotionally resonant performances we’ve seen in a genre show in years.
Disney+
The Mandalorian — Stream on Disney+
Even when you can’t see his face, Pascal knows how to make you feel. As Din Djarin, he manages to bring depth to a quiet, stoic character through voice and subtle body language. The bond with Grogu (AKA Baby Yoda) is now one of the most iconic relationships in Star Wars history—and it’s largely thanks to what he brings to the table emotionally.
HBO Max
Game of Thrones — Stream on HBO Max
Oberyn Martell was only around for one season, but he made a huge impression. Pascal gave the role fire and flair—he was seductive, smart, and didn’t back down from anyone (not even the Mountain). His final scene? Brutal, yes. But also unforgettable.
Netflix
Narcos — Stream on Netflix
As Javier Peña, Pascal feels like the calm in the storm of Colombia’s drug war. There’s a weariness to him that feels real, but also this edge that reminds you he’s not one to mess with. It’s one of those performances that proved he could easily carry a series.
Lionsgate
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent — Stream on Prime Video
Going toe-to-toe with Nicolas Cage—as Nicolas Cage—is no easy task, but Pascal somehow steals the show. He’s charming, bizarre, and surprisingly heartfelt as a superfan with a few secrets. Their bromance? A total highlight.
20th Century Studios
Kingsman: The Golden Circle — Stream on Youtube
As Agent Whiskey, he brings cowboy swagger and a morally complex arc that’s more layered than it seems. Add in some whip action and wild fight choreography, and it’s just a blast watching him have fun with it.
DUST
Prospect — Stream on Tubi
This indie sci-fi film flew under the radar, but Pascal shines as a rugged survivor with murky motives. It’s stripped down and atmospheric, proving that he doesn’t need a flashy production to command the screen.
Sony Pictures
The Equalizer 2 — Stream on Netflix
Here, he flips the script as a more villainous figure, and it works. There’s something unnerving about how natural he makes the shift from friend to foe. He never overplays it, which makes it hit harder.
Netflix
Triple Frontier — Stream on Netflix
Another action role, but with a twist. Pascal plays one of five ex-soldiers trying to pull off a dangerous heist, and he grounds the chaos with a quiet sense of loyalty and tension. He knows how to balance action with emotion.
Netflix
We Can Be Heroes — Stream on Netflix
Yes, it’s technically a kids' movie—but Pascal doesn’t phone it in. He plays a superhero dad with genuine warmth and comedic timing. It’s light, fun, and just goes to show: there’s no genre he can’t make his own.
