Pedro Pascal did not become the name that he is today immediately after entering the Hollywood industry. It took him a long time and a great amount of patience. While skill was everpresent, recognition wasn’t. He made his name with effort seeping through every scene. Now he stands as Joel, the Mandalorian, and Javier all at the same time.
Just because one holds fame now doesn’t necessarily mean it came to them naturally or that they were born with a silver spoon. Pascal worked hard to get where he is now. Migration, especially, is a difficult transition in life. Migration can lead to trauma with identity and more so in finding a place in what one is supposed to call home.

Pedro Pascal’s Family Were Forced to Migrate
In an interview withTIME,Pedro Pascalopened up about the bravery of his parents during the mid-1970s because of the Pinochet regime. His mother’s cousin had been associated with the opposition’s military, giving him shelter also put Pascal’s family in jeopardy. They were later given refuge through the Venezuelan embassy that then sent them to Denmark.
“Still, helping some people hide got them into hot water — eventually they got to the Venezuelan embassy and claimed asylum. We were sent to Denmark and then the U.S. My sister and I were born in Chile and raised in the States, and my little brothers were born in the States and raised in Chile after my parents moved back in 1995.”
Ultimately finding their way into the United States of America, his family began to settle there. His parents helped more people apart from his family, putting a target on their back that they dearly needed to avoid.

Pedro Pascal’s Life Shaped According to His Surroundings
Pedro Pascal also shared that while his sister and he were born in Chile and raised in the U.S., his other brothers had the exact opposite, being born in the US and raised in Chile upon their return in 1995. He also explained, viaLatino USA, that it was never his choice to settle in the States. However, that doesn’t mean he holds it against his parents.
“I didn’t choose to come to the United States but being raised here has shaped exactly who I am today, and I can’t imagine that being taken away from me.”
On the contrary, it helped him become the person that he is today. The way his personality came into being and the way his qualities shone out were all an effort of his parents’ upbringing and the surroundings he grew up in.
