Pedro Pascal is a Chilean-American actor. His roles include the shows Game of Thrones, Narcos, The Mandalorian, and The Last of Us, and the films The Adjustment Bureau, Bloodsucking Bastards, The Great Wall, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Prospect, The Equalizer 2, If Beale Street Could Talk, Triple Frontier, Wonder Woman 1984, We Can Be Heroes, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and The Bubble. In his early work, he was credited as Pedro Balmaceda and Alexander Pascal.
Pedro was born in Santiago, Chile, the son of Verónica Pascal Ureta, a child psychologist, and José Pedro Balmaceda Riera, a fertility doctor. His family was upper-class. He has deep roots in Latin America, particularly Chile. His father’s surname, Balmaceda, is Basque. His mother’s surname, Pascal, originates with a French maternal great-great-grandfather.
Pedro is a maternal second cousin, once removed, of Chilean Marxist dissident Andrés Pascal Allende, who was leader of the militant left Movement of the Revolutionary Left. Andrés was a nephew of Chilean President Salvador Allende, to whom Pedro is not directly related. Pedro’s parents were supporters of Salvador, and left the country after his murder and the arrival of the military dictatorship of ruler Augusto Pinochet; they sought refugee in the Venezuelan embassy in Santiago nine months after Pedro’s birth, later moving to Denmark, and then to the U.S. Pedro spent much of his childhood in Orange County, California and San Antonio, Texas. In 1995, his father was indicted by a federal grand jury for malfeasance at his fertility clinic, and most of the family returned to Chile.
His sister is actress and transgender activist Lux Pascal, who is mostly active in Chile. Pedro speaks fluent Spanish.
Pedro’s paternal grandfather was José Francisco Balmaceda Bergasa (the son of Paulino Balmaceda Luna/Arruego and Petronila Del Carmen Bergasa/Vergara Ochoa). José was born in Valparaíso, Chile. Paulino was from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Petronila was the daughter of José Saturno Vergara and Maria Luisa Ochoa Medel.
Pedro’s paternal grandmother was Juanita/Juana Riera Bauzá (the daughter of Melchor Riera Caldentey and Juana Bauzá Bauzá). Juanita’s brother was professional footballer and coach Fernando Riera. Melchor was born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, the son of Melchor Riera and Juana Caldentey. Juana was the daughter of Guillermo Bauzá and Sebastiana Bauzá.
Pedro’s maternal grandfather was Luis Eduardo Gastón Pascal Vigil (the son of Luis Eduardo Armando Pascal Valdés and Inés Vigil Olate). Pedro’s grandfather Luis was born in Viña del Mar, Valparaíso Province, Valparaiso, Chile. Pedro’s great-grandfather Luis was born in San Pedro de Tacna, Tacna, Peru, the son of Pierre Gastón Pascal Thierry, who was born in Bayonne, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Aquitaine, France, and of Leonor Valdés/Valdéz Vizcarra, who was Peruvian. Pedro’s great-grandmother Inés was born in Valparaíso, the daughter of Eduardo Vigil Zañartu and María Josefa Sabina Olate Aldunate.
Pedro’s maternal grandmother was Carmen Ureta Varas (the daughter of Federico Guillermo Ureta Cox and Olga Varas Izquierdo). Carmen was born in Santiago, Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile. Federico was the son of Raimundo Ureta Echazarreta and Adelina Cox Méndez. Raimundo’s brother, Sen. Arturo Ureta Echazarreta, was Minister of Justice of Chile in 1932, among others duties. Adelina’s grandfather, Agustín Nathaniel Miers Cox Lloyd, was Welsh, from Grosmont, Monmouthshire, and was a prominent doctor. Pedro’s great-grandmother Olga was the daughter of Francisco Javier Varas Pérez and Remedios Izquierdo Varas.
Pedro is a fourth cousin of Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín. Pedro’s maternal great-great-great-grandparents, Tadeo Izquierdo Izquierdo and Remedios Varas Guzmán, were also Pablo’s maternal great-great-great-grandparents.

I can’t take you seriously when you say this man is entirely White, no way
Furthermore, you constantly link “White” people from Latin countries to being upper class
these “White” people (only in Latin countries) being upper class does not make them really White
It does not really much matters what you think, which such ridiculous nickname Well, about Pascal, his genealogy is very well documented, you have pics of his parents and other relatives and ancestors. He is mostly of Spanish and Basque descent, theirselves don’t look like the Northern Europeans I presume you refer to as whiteness model.
I don’t care how much you get offended by my nickname lol (are you going to cry?)
He is such an exotic man, and you probably are too
I am not offended at all by your nickname, I just think it’s stupid.
He’s simply 87.5% Spanish [Andalusian, Asturian, Canary Islander, Castilian, Catalan, Extremaduran, Galician and Basque] including remote Portuguese, 6.25% French and 6.25% Welsh.
Chilean, Peruvian etc… are nationalities, and, as such, they can encompass anything.
There’s no way his whole ancestry has been traced back out of South America and into Europe, is there?
Basque aren’t just Spanish
Why is my previous reply not here? I’ll try again, Basques aren’t just Spanish
@andre yeah, that’s about it. He’s at least 85% european, and her looks like it(especially spaniard, obviusly), any non-euro ancestry he might have is very distant and would not impact his apperience at all, he’s a classic white latino/hispanic-american, just like Andy Garcia, Marco Rubio, etc…
he can only be considered White in Chile in the United States and in Europe he would be seen as strange
There are people more exotic than him in Spain/Portugal.
They may even be exotic but they will still be 100% WHITE, something that Pedro Pascal will never be, no matter how much you want him to be

And there are many Cubans who are 100% White I have seen many of them in Florida There are more White people in Cuba than in the Brazilian favela that is your country
are you cuban? you’re awfully defensive of them. We know white cubans exist but I think you’re exaggerating them being the whitest latinos. There are way too many multiracial cubans for this to be true.
Argentinians are the whitest latinos, about 60% of Argentina is full white european, maybe even more than that, there’s plenty of people that are euro-indo mixed, but still whites are the majority, no doubt. Cubans are more of a 50/50 situation, like in Brazil, where there’s about 43-45% whites, 40-42% mixed-race, and the minorities being black(almost all of them in São Luís, Bahia, and Rio de Janeiro) and asians(especially japanese people in São Paulo)
I dont want him to be anything. I look into his genealogy, not gossip. He is tagged as “indigenous peruvian” and “indigenous mexican” (I didn’t make this profile) thus that’s about it.
Pedro is a second cousin, once removed, of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9s_Pascal_Allende

Good job, Follers. I had totally overlooked that common line between Pedro and Pablo.
*Juana Bauzá Bauzá was evidently born in Mallorca too (the locals are broadly considered Catalan)
*his Welsh ancestor, a notable man: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agust%C3%ADn_Nataniel_Miers_Cox_Lloyd
*through Eduardo Vigil Zañartu (Basque surname), he descends to Chilean political ruling élites, and he is distantly related to:

Can we update to include that he is also known for The Mandalorian and The Last of Us?
