Biografie

Born in Santiago, Chile, to Veronica Pascal and José Balmaceda, a medical professional. His family fled the brutal regime of dictator Augusto Pinochet, and thus moved to the U.S. during Pedro's early years. He was raised in Orange County, California and San Antonio, Texas.

Before relocating to New York City, he also lived and worked in Madrid.

Attended the Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA).

Graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 1997.

Wonder Woman 84 wasn't Pascal's first Wonder Woman project. He starred in an unaired NBC pilot in 2011.

I just went to your typical public schools, and my dad would take us to the movies every week, or he'd buy scalped tickets to San Antonio Spurs games. I remember I was four or five years old and my parents, who were very young, took us to see The Police in Austin, and Iggy Pop opened.

I have the cliché 'struggling actor' story. I was waiting tables in New York, went out to L.A. soon after graduation to get some jobs, but it didn't work out. I wanted to cut my teeth in professional theater, so I came back to New York. It made my journey a longer one, but I really wanted to excel in the theater.

I have really fond memories of Texas. By the time I was eight, we started to go back to Chile very regularly, and many family members came to visit us because we couldn't go visit them.

I am such a 'True Detective' fan. I was anticipating it each Sunday as it came. I'm kind of a sci-fi fan. I was really hooked on the 'Battlestar Galactica' series. I think I owned every box set of 'Battlestar Galactica.' I also really love 'Bob's Burgers.'

The only thing that being killed off on 'Graceland' helped me with on 'Game of Thrones' is that it made me available to actually do the job.
