After waiting for more than two years, another cool drama is back!

The third season of the Star Wars spin-off series "The Mandalorian" finally went live in March.

The first two seasons of the show have a super high reputation of more than 9 points, and this third season was launched online, and there was no accident that Douban directly rushed to 9.4 points.

The "Mandalorian" Ding Jialin, who wore a helmet and did not show his face the whole time, returned and once again became a "baby-guarding male nanny", which made fans excited.

Hidden behind this helmet is the same actor who recently starred in two high-reputation American dramas: 47-year-old Pedro Pascal.

Pedro Pascal's first new series is produced by HBO and adapted from the famous game of the same name - "The Last of the Survivors", which is also a word-of-mouth explosion.

It rushed to 9 points at the beginning of the broadcast, and it was stable at 9.1 points after the broadcast, and all 8 episodes of the first season were broadcast, and many viewers gave five stars for the 8th episode.

In "The Mandalorian", the almost faceless Pedro Pascal's male protagonist Din Jalin wants to escort Yoda's baby, and in "The Last of Us", his character Joel is also an "escort".

In exchange for weapons, the indifferent smuggler Joel agrees to send the girl Ellie to the designated place, and thus begins the difficult journey of the two across the United States.

If the hottest actor in China recently is "Crazy" "Gao Qiqiang" Zhang Songwen, then one of the hottest actors in the American drama circle is him: Pedro Pascal.

Like Zhang Songwen, he has also experienced the process of going from obscurity, to gradual recognition, and then to the popularity of high-scoring dramas.

The two dramas starring Pedro have rushed to more than 9 points in the first broadcast, which is seamless, so that it is easy to see and even make some audiences shout out foul language with excitement.

It is worth mentioning that this time "The Mandalorian 3" seamlessly connects with the start of "The Last of the Survivors", which makes many fans very happy, ridiculing Pedro Pascal in both episodes as a "baby-guarding maniac", saying that he "double-takes the baby in the parallel universe" in the two dramas!

——"The Mandalorian Season 3" took over from "The Last of the Survivors", a wave has not subsided and a wave of invasion, two consecutive hot dramas, Uncle Pa has officially been promoted to a first-line red star.

Indeed, the audience is drama by drama, watching Pedro explode into popularity.

This "Red Viper" from "Game of Thrones" began to be known to the audience, and has a more impressive performance in "Narcos".

From the helmet-wearing, faceless actor Din Jalin in the Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian, to Joel in The Last of Us.

Pedro Pascal, who keeps dramatic, is completely popular, but many people may not know his past.

Pedro was born in Chile, where he fled with his parents to San Antonio, United States, because of the war.

At that time, his parents would take him and his sister to the movies whenever they could, which became a family ritual for them to learn as much American pop culture as possible.

It was then that Pedro, about 4 years old, saw the movie "Superman" starring Christopher Reeve for the first time, and halfway through he went to the bathroom alone, but accidentally got lost and walked to another theater, curled up in an open seat and fell asleep. He woke up to find the theater empty and his parents standing beside him.

At that time, he did not know that he would form an indissoluble bond with theater in the future.

In the 8 episodes of the first season of "The Mandalorian", Pedro's bounty hunter must wear a helmet, cover his face, and in some episodes need to cover his entire body, in the first season, he does not reveal his true face until the last episode, but only for about 20 seconds.

At the time, the Foreign Correspondents' Association of Hollywood (HFPA), the organizer of the Golden Globes, realized that it was a new performance and instituted new rules, saying that actors who performed solely on the basis of sound were not eligible to compete for the actor category.

This also means that Pedro cannot be nominated for the Golden Globe for actor with "The Mandalorian", which almost covers his face the whole time.

At the same time, in the first season of "The Mandalorian", Pedro was busy rehearsing the Broadway drama "King Lear", and a stand-in starred in some scenes for him.

At that time, Pedro's schedule was tight, on the one hand, he was rehearsing "King Lear", and on the other hand, he had to go to London to shoot "Wonder Woman 1984", so the final plan was to find two other people to be his stand-ins and help Pedro shoot some of the scenes of "The Mandalorian", and he did the post-dubbing.

In this regard, Pedro said that the success of the first season of "The Mandalorian" is the team's efforts.

But even if Pedro did not play Mando himself all the way, he never left thinking about this role, what kind of state such a lone bounty hunter would have-

"It's not hard for me to appreciate and pass on the complexity under all the armor."

The childhood away from his native Chile and the life without a sense of home after fleeing to the United States once made Pedro feel out of place.

He was fascinated by movies and was impressed by the child stars in the movies at that time, he remembered seeing Henry Thomas in "ET" and Christian Bale in "Empire of the Sun", and desperately hoped that he could also live smoothly in a foreign land.

After Pedro finished fifth grade, he moved to California with his parents, but he was bullied a lot by then. In high school, he went to a burgeoning performing arts high school in the area, which further his obsession with theater, and in his senior year, a friend of his mother gave him a ticket to a Broadway play that completely changed him.

Pedro entered the prestigious New York University Tisch School of the Arts to study acting, and later got some opportunities, but his plans were disrupted by the sudden death of his mother, at which point, he lost his agent and his career came to an almost complete standstill.

In honor of his mother, Pedro changed his surname as an actor from his father's Balmaceda to his mother's Pascal, and he also tried to change his name Pedro to Alexander, with the aim of paying homage to the film master Ingmar Bergman's film Fanny and Alexander, one of his films that influenced his youth.

It was an extremely difficult time for Pedro, who occasionally made guest appearances in the series Law & Order.

It was also then that he met actor Oscar Isaac, and because they were also Latino, they quickly became good friends.

At that time, neither of them became famous, and many years later Oscar Isaac became a Golden Globe winner. (Masterpieces: Drunken Country Folk, Year of the Storm, Ex Machina, Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens, X-Men: Apocalypse, Black Utopia)

Pedro, who became a star many years later, recalled his past, saying that he was too poor to have money for a long time.

When I came to New York to study at the age of 18, "I was working in restaurants and cafes like a lot of people, I was often fired, I didn't know how to pay my rent, and I had to live on the help of friends and family. ”

He said that after becoming famous, he has also been trying to live in recent years, and although he has earned money, he has no time to spend it.

Pedro also met a good friend, actress Sarah Paulson, and because of her, Pedro got an audition for Game of Thrones.

It was an audition for a selfie on an Apple phone, and David Benioff, one of the producers of Game of Thrones, later recalled, "The video was shot vertically and vertically, and the whole shot seemed very amateurish." However, Pedro did well and just right. ”

The success of the audition made Pedro the red viper in "Game of Thrones".

Everyone knows the story behind, because of the popularity of "Game of Thrones", "Red Viper" Pedro is also widely known with many actors in the play.

If "Game of Thrones" still has some luck, but if you want to further prove yourself, you must speak with your work, and Pedro has done this.

At the beginning of this year, Pedro swept the American drama word-of-mouth list with two high-scoring dramas, "The Last of Us" and "The Mandalorian 3".

This has long surpassed luck, it is strength.

It's time Pedro to become popular and continue to chase his new drama.
