His full name is José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal, and he is the second of four siblings.
Pascal’s parents, child psychologist Verónica Pascal and fertility doctor José Balmaceda, fled Chile during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.
He has an older sister named Javiera, a younger brother named Nicolás, and a younger sister named Lux, who is an actress and transgender activist.
Pascal rose to prominence for his role as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones.
He has also appeared in other television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Good Wife, Homeland and Graceland.

How tall is Pedro Pascal?
According to his IMDb profile and other sources, Pascal’s height is 1.8 meters, or 5 feet 10.5 inches.
His height is average for a man, but it is slightly above average for an actor.
This has given him an advantage in some roles, such as his portrayal of Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones.
Martell is a skilled fighter and acrobat, and Pascal’s height and athleticism helped him to bring the character to life.
However, Pascal’s height has also been a disadvantage in some cases.
For example, he was originally cast as the lead role in the film Kingsman: The Secret Service.
However, he was dropped from the film because he was too tall for the role; the producers were concerned that he would look too imposing and unrealistic as a spy.
