He's your favorite zaddy. He's a celebrated actor. He's a fierce proponent of the queer community, especially of his trans sister, the actress and activist Lux Pascal. He's got a weird face that is weirdly hot, of which he claims, "I will probably be playing bad guys forever because of my face." He's played villains and cads, heroes and lovers, straight and gay. And we bet he's an all-around fun guy. Well, according to the artist Amanda@Pandamoanimum, he's also a "fungi!" Amanda seems to be as enamored with Pedro Pascal as much as we are, and had some fun with his many dapper looks, matching Pascal's passion for fashion to...mushrooms! Hey, we all need a good laugh these days, and these pics are pretty darn brilliant if you ask me. So indulge in the many sumptuous looks of Pascal interpersed with his own words, and have a smile.

Being Latino and being an actor has been a unique struggle and opportunity. When you don't fit into what may be a more stereotypical vision of somebody whose name is Pedro is, it can be a little bit harder to navigate.

I remember I was four or five years old and my parents, who were very young, took us to see The Police in Austin, and Iggy Pop opened.

I am a refugee: my parents fled Chile under Pinochet in 1976 when I was 9 months old, and my parents were able to start from nothing and make lives for themselves in the United States.

By the time I was four, we were living in San Antonio, Texas, and I just remember picking a blue bonnet and getting yelled at by some guy with a sheriff hat and a badge. I was traumatized. He told me it was the state flower, and I wasn't supposed to be messin' with it.

I was so obsessed with film and actors that I wasn't a very good student. I was always in trouble, but my father would always take us to the movies.

I hate karaoke. I don't want to sing karaoke, and I don't want to listen to people sing karaoke.

'Buffy' was one of the first jobs that I got. I was so excited to be on it, mostly because people in my life that I respected so much, my best friends and my sister, were obsessed with the show. Obsessed with it.

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.

Someone asked how I feel about Captain Crunch. I'm capable of eating an entire box of it without any milk. It is a sweet taste that is indescribable. Captain Crunch is its own flavour.

Need a bit more Pascal? Here's that moment at Cannes recently when Alexander Skarsgård gave him a kiss on the cheek during the seven-minute standing ovation for Skarsgård's BDSM dramedy Pillion.
