Interview
Pedro Pascal had ‘the time of his life’ playing Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones gained huge popularity worldwide due to its amazing story, beautiful scenery and perfect casting. Some of these castings were so spot on that the actors came to be identified as their roles in public. One of them was Pedro Pascal’s Red Viper Oberyn Martell. Oberyn’s screen-time in Season 4 was less compared to many of the show’s leading characters. However, Pedro delivered the role so perfectly the audience couldn’t get him out of their minds throughout the series. He captivated the viewer’s minds with his charm, cunning, and seductiveness as the Red Viper.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Pedro expressed his love for the show and his character, “Game of Thrones was this incredible, ideal experience really of getting to play this beautifully written, iconic character who has a big in and a big out in one very, very solid season of the series. All I can really say is, I had the time of my life and I wouldn’t be sitting here if it weren’t for that role.”
Pedro Pascal has always been a huge Game of Thrones fan. He was in such a hurry for being cast in the show, he couldn’t wait for a standard audition for his role. Instead, he sent a mobile recording of himself acting out the role in a jagged appearance, and that was enough to impress the showrunners.
