You probably discovered Pedro Pascal when he showed up on Game of Thrones in 2014 as the charming and sexy Prince Oberyn Martell.

Oberyn became an instant fan favorite, which made his sudden, untimely death in Season 4 all the more heartbreaking for fans.

He revealed to The New York Times in 2017 that his friend Sarah Paulson helped get him cast on the show by passing his name along to the creators. The showrunners immediately understood his sex appeal.

“He figures out who the character really is and then he portrays that man, scouring off all falsehood,” Game of Thrones showrunner David Benioff told Variety about Pascal. “Plus, he’s really f*cking handsome.” Agreed.

Not long after his GoT appearance, Pascal starred in the Netflix series Narcos as DEA agent Javier Peña. Some fans have recently said they’re “about to start watching Narcos solely for Pedro Pascal.”

Adorably, Pascal formed a bromance with co-star Boyd Holbrook while filming Narcos.

No stranger to blockbusters and franchises, his next big role was in the Star Wars universe when he was unmasked as the titular The Mandalorian.

Despite mostly existing under the Mandalorian’s mask, Pascal’s voice alone on the show is swoon-worthy. In fact, in 2021 he told Comedy Central that he uses his “bedroom voice” for the character. Is it hot in here?

These days, you’ll find him as a beleaguered dad in the dystopian world of The Last of Us, airing on Sundays on HBO. And yes, he knows you’re lusting after him.

“Yep. I’m your cool, slutty daddy,” he said cheekily on the red carpet for The Last of Us.

“Videos of Pedro Pascal enjoying being called Daddy or Zaddy is my new comfort type of vids,” @artuciel tweeted. “This man is my comfort daddy.”

“Daddy is a state of mind,” Pascal said in a Vanity Fair video. He absolutely knows what he’s doing and frankly? We don’t mind it at all.

Lucky for us, Pascal isn’t linked to anyone romantically at the moment and fans are throwing their hat into the ring every day on Twitter. Dream big; stranger things have happened.
