His role earned him a nomination for his first-ever Emmy. Pascal is reportedly joining the MCU, and his potential role will thrill fans even more. However, there was a possibility of him joining Marvel almost 9 years ago.

Pedro Pascal got his Narcos role because of Game of Thrones

Almost every role that Pascal did pushed him higher toward his stardom, which has been on the rise since his Game of Thrones days. During a recent panel at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations, Pascal revealed,

“I got Narcos because of Game of Thrones – they were shocked to know that I was available, because the fight scene had not aired yet. So, really, this is a major [confession]. I did audition for [Narcos]. I did not get the part. They offered it to somebody else, and then that person fell out.”

It was like a supporting character [for Daredevil] You know, ‘Character Number Six.’ He was a lawyer, I can’t remember the name…I was going to test for that role, and so, to intercept the test, they ended up offering me the Narcos [role].
