The series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” premiered 26 years ago and became a classic for teenage vampires with its wonderful cast that included Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Boreanaz and at one point even Pedro Pascal.
In the 1990s, the show about the adventures of Buffy the Vampire Slayer won over fans with its stories of teenage love, school drama and paranormal vampire-fighting action.
During its seven seasons on the air from 1997 to 2003, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” also featured a large number of guest actors and others who were just starting out in small roles, including Pedro Pascal.
Pedro Pascal was in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”: this is what he looked like as a young vampire
José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal, the Latino who triumphs today in “Star Wars”, began his career in the theater and has been working his way up the ladder of the industry with small appearances since 1996.
One of them happened when he was 24 years old in 1999, during the first chapter of the fourth season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” called “The Freshman”, where he plays the character of Eddie.
In the chapter, Eddie is a new young man at university who, due to his clueless personality, gets lost on campus and thus meets Buffy, whom he tries to flirt with.
However, after the first interaction, Eddie leaves to find his bedroom and is attacked by a group of vampires. He then reappears in the episode already transformed, so Buffy has to hunt him down.
The reason few remember this role of Pedro is not only because it was one of his first screen roles and many years ago, but also because at the time he was using a different name.
The death of Pedro Pascal’s mother had a big impact on his life and in honor of her he adopted her last name for his stage name, which is why when he appeared in ‘Buffy’ he was still using the name Pedro Balmaceda.
After this role, and already under the name of Pedro Pascal, the Chilean would appear in series such as “Law & Order”, “The Good Wife”, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation ” and “Nikita”.
Although his big moment of fame will start in 2014 with his role in ‘Game of Thrones’, then in ‘Narcos’ (2015-2017) and his biggest roles at the moment ‘The Mandalorian’ in 2019 and ‘The Last of us” this 2023. .
