We love Pedro Pascal, and we have a feeling you do too. He holds the unofficial title of the nation’s “Daddy,” and is a talented actor to boot. The actor has had a number of big moment the past few years, starring in hit films and TV shows such as Game of Thrones, Narcos, The Last of Us and so much more. Pascal’s latest project, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, received some positive reviews following its release back in July.
The star’s rise to fame was not instant, but rather, a gradual process, one that is well-documented in an unofficial illustrated biography titled Hispanic Star: Pedro Pascal.

You can also grab the book via Kindle for $9.99 and a paperback version for $7.99. The book drops on Sept. 2.
'Hispanic Star: Pedro Pascal' by Claudia Romo Edelman & Karla Arenas Valenti, Illustrated by Marcelo Baez
An illustrated biography of Pedro Pascal’s life.
The biography, written by Claudia Romo Edelman and Karla Arenas Valenti and illustrated by Marcelo Baez, takes readers through the Chilean-born actor’s upbringing in San Antonio, Texas, where his family found asylum during the Pinochet dictatorship. Despite this, Pascal had an imaginative childhood and an obsession with movies that brought his passion for acting to the forefront.
Readers are treated to colorfully illustrated scenes of Pascal’s time at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he fostered that love of acting by diving into some of film’s classics. Eventually, the book explores how Pascal became a household name through shows such as Game of Thrones, The Mandalorian and The Last of Us. This would make a great gift for the Pascal fan in your life. The pricing is perfect, especially with the 5% off. We’ve got a feeling that the Pedro stans, both young and old, will go crazy over this book.
