Conoce al galardonado actor Pedro Pascal, quien alguna vez fue solo un niño imaginativo obsesionado con el cine. Nacido en Chile, Pedro pasó sus primeros años en San Antonio, Texas, donde su familia encontró asilo durante la dictadura de Pinochet. Impulsado por la pasión por el cine y el teatro que sus padres incentivaron desde que era pequeño, Pedro asistió a la Escuela de Artes Tisch de NYU y se dedicó a leer guiones cinematográficos y ver películas clásicas. Con el paso del tiempo, Pedro Pascal llegaría a convertirse en un actor famoso, conocido por sus papeles en las series El Mandaloriano y The Last of Us, y las peliculas Los 4 Fantásticos Primeros Pasos, Gladiador 2 y Robot salvaje.
