Pedro Pascal is a multitalented actor who’s made his mark in various popular series. He plays key roles in significant franchises such as Star Wars, where he stars as the lead in The Mandalorian, and HBO’s adaptation of the video game, The Last of Us. His fan base spans across generations, and his dialogue has left us with some unforgettable lines throughout his illustrious career. Let’s explore some of the most captivating things this Marvel Universe’s Mr. Fantastic actor has spoken during his successful journey.
“I Can Bring You In Warm, Or I Can Bring You In Cold” – The Mandalorian
I instantly became a fan of Pedro Pascal’s character Din Djarin, the cosmic bounty hunter in the popular Disney+ series The Mandalorian, when he spoke those eerie words to his bounty at the start of the first episode of this Star Wars spinoff.
“Sometimes You Gotta Do Bad Things To Catch Bad People” – Narcos
Pedro Pascal played DEA agent Javier Peña in the fact-based Netflix original crime drama Narcos, highlighting the extreme measures law enforcement may take to make an arrest, particularly when dealing with notorious and seemingly invincible criminals like Pablo Escobar (portrayed by Wagner Moura).
“Because I Love You. In A Way You, You Can’t Understand. Maybe You Never Will. But If That Day Should Come, If You Should Ever Have One Of Your Own, Well, Then, I Hope You Do A Little Better Than Me” – The Last Of Us
In a particularly moving installment of “The Last of Us”, Joel Miller (played by Pedro Pascal) ultimately discloses to Ellie (Bella Ramsey) that he spared her from the Fireflies since using her immunity for a cure would have been fatal for her. This act, in her eyes, was an unforgivable act of selfishness. However, Joel’s rationale for choosing her over the remaining human population, resonating with something his father once told him, struck me profoundly—even more so than most scenes from the post-apocalyptic HBO series.
“After I Turn Sad, I Grow Angry” – Game Of Thrones
Pedro Pascal gained significant recognition in Hollywood, even acknowledged by himself in a GQ video, when he joined the cast of “Game of Thrones” as Oberyn Martell during the fantasy series’ fourth season. The character is known for his sharp wit and wide emotional range, succinctly expressed in this concise phrase.
“My Son Don’t Have ADD! He Just Like To Jump!” – Saturday Night Live
Pedro Pascal appeared as the host for the first time on Saturday Night Live, during an episode which showcased one of the most well-liked skits from the program’s 48th season.

She firmly believes that her son does not require ADD medication.
“When You Grow Up Without Something You… End Up Spending A Lot Of Time Thinking About It” – The Wild Robot

During one scene, Fink shares his understanding of love with Roz, mentioning that he is well-acquainted with the emotion since he didn’t experience it in his younger years.
“I Cried Through The Entire Thing. It Made Me Want To Be A Better Man” – The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent
In the movie titled “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent“, Pedro Pascal plays alongside Nicolas Cage, portraying an extravagant version of himself as the affluent Javi Gutiérrez. The birthday wish of this character is to have the star of “Face/Off” attend his home. To his delight, the Academy Award-winning actor and billionaire develop a strong friendship with Javi, sharing a common passion for films such as “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” and “Paddington 2“. Impressed by the latter film, Javi successfully persuades Cage to watch it, promising him an unforgettable experience.

“Life Is Good! But It Can Be Better” – Wonder Woman 1984
In Wonder Woman 1984, Pedro Pascal takes on the role of Maxwell Lord, a wealthy and influential media tycoon who is frequently asked to repeat his famous catchphrase by those he encounters, which he is always eager to do. An interesting tidbit: Patty Jenkins’ 2020 sequel represented the actor’s second appearance in a DC comic adaptation following his role in a TV pilot for Wonder Woman from the mid-2000s that ultimately did not succeed.
“This Is The Way” – The Mandalorian
As someone who loves “The Mandalorian,” I can’t get enough of the moments when Pedro Pascal’s character, Din Djarin, expresses his dedication through more than just a casual phrase.
“The Next Thing I Know, I’m FaceTiming With A Six-Year-Old Who Has No Idea Who I Am Because My Character Wears A Mask For The Entire Show” – Saturday Night Live
In Pedro Pascal’s first appearance on Saturday Night Live, he recounted an incident where a fan approached him and requested that he greet his son, who admired The Mandalorian. However, Pascal wasn’t carrying Din Djarin’s helmet and armor at the time, so the virtual meeting, perhaps not as thrilling as the child had anticipated.
“Well, I Feel A Little Lightheaded. Maybe If You Give Me A 60-lb Pack And I Slung A Buddy Over My Shoulder, I Can Make It” – Brothers & Sisters
Among Pedro Pascal’s initial TV appearances was a guest part on ABC’s “Brothers & Sisters,” where he portrayed Zack, a former Marine who had become homeless.

Through his character, Pascal delivers a concise, heartfelt explanation that romantic relationships between two men are essentially the same as those between a man and a woman.
“Wherever I Go, He Goes” – The Mandalorian
What truly captivates Star Wars enthusiasts about The Mandalorian is the deeply emotional connection shared by its main characters, Din Djarin and his adopted child, Grogu, often known as “Baby Yoda.” This bond, along with the show’s thrilling action sequences and enriching Star Wars backstory, keeps viewers invested in the series.
“If You Love Someone, You Can Always See Their Face” – The Last Of Us
Some enthusiasts of “The Last of Us” argue that Joel takes things too far in Season 2’s episode when he kills the bitten Eugene (Joe Pantoliano), denying him a final reunion with his wife. However, it must be said that Pedro Pascal’s character does show compassion by reminding the distraught man that he could still see his wife Gail (Catherine O’Hara) in that moment if his love for her was powerful enough.
“The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend, Until He Becomes My Enemy Again. When That Happens, God Help Them” – Narcos

“I Like Those Odds” – The Mandalorian
This quote from The Mandalorian is particularly significant for a couple of unique aspects. Firstly, it demonstrates that Din Djarin possesses a strategic and skilled warrior persona. Conversely, it stands in stark contrast to one of the most well-known quotes from Han Solo, portrayed by Harrison Ford in Star Wars, which goes, “I don’t care about the odds.
“Size Doesn’t Matter When You’re Flat On Your Back” – Game Of Thrones
One reason Game of Thrones viewers adored Pedro Pascal’s portrayal of Oberyn Martell was his unchecked self-assurance. However, this same trait ultimately led to his character’s demise, as he uttered words that would prove fatal just before The Mountain brutally ended the prince’s life, a role played by three separate actors.
“Wizard” – The Book Of Boba Fett
In a chapter of “The Book of Boba Fett” that might be better labeled as a spin-off of “The Mandalorian,” Din Djarin employs a cheerful term, first coined in 1999’s “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,” to convey his delight with his latest acquisition, an N-1 Starfighter crafted by Peli Motto (portrayed by Amy Sedaris).
“If You Say ‘Look For The Light,’ I Will Break Your Jaw” – The Last Of Us

“What Good Is Being The King If Nobody Knows It?” – Narcos

The quote from “Game of Thrones” reflects Oberyn Martell’s intense desire for revenge, which was driven by his strong sense of justice in response to the injustice inflicted upon his sister by the Lannisters.
“I Don’t Know. All I Know Is That When I Wake Up, I Know I’ve Lost Something” – The Last Of Us
Everyone experiences dreaming each night, but not everyone recalls their dreams upon waking. However, the emotional residue from those dreams can linger. In an episode of The Last of Us, Joel Miller seems to be one of these individuals who doesn’t remember his dreams clearly. When his brother, Tommy (Gabriel Luna), inquires about his dream content, Joel gives a response that implies the loss of his daughter, Sarah (Nico Parker), continues to haunt his subconscious mind.
“Are You A Jedi?” – The Mandalorian
In my own words, I can’t help but chuckle at the unexpectedly humorous exchange between Din Djarin and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in the Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian. It’s a moment that has left a lasting impression on viewers due to its unforeseen humor.

“I Feel Like A Tornado In A Trailer Park” – Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Despite the fact that a line from the 2017 movie “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” seems to be borrowed from Pixar’s “Cars,” Pedro Pascal manages to make it unique with his engaging portrayal of Southern-accented secret agent, Whiskey.
“There’s No Way Out, Carlitos. You’re Going To Disneyland” – Narcos
It’s intriguing, perhaps intentionally so, how Javier Peña’s line from Narcos echoes the reality that Pablo Escobar managed to blend inconspicuously among the crowds at Walt Disney World in the early 1980s while vacationing there with his family, as reported by Newsweek.
“When It Comes To War, I Fight For Dorne. When It Comes To Love, I Don’t Choose Sides” – Game Of Thrones
