February 2024 is the most exciting month of Pedro Pascal's 28-year acting career, and the SAG Awards make it all the more exciting.

Since then, his career has grown immensely.
Pedro Pascal is best known for playing Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones, Whiskey in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and Mando in Disney+'s The Mandalorian. However, he's currently acting as Joel Miller in the TV adaptation of the video game The Last of Us.

Pedro Pascal's Surprise SAG Awards Win Continues His Exciting February 2024
Actor Pedro Pascal already had a fantastic February prior to the SAG Awards. He started filming the highly anticipated cast in Marvel's Fantastic Four movie, playing Richard Reeds, aka Mr. Fantastic. He also starred in Drive-Away Dolls, an Ethan Coen lesbian road-trip movie that was released in theaters on February 23, 2024, to mostly positive reviews. The SAG Awards topped off his already great month.
Pedro Pascal unexpectedly won the award for Best Male Actor in a Drama Series for his role in The Last of Us. He was up against incredible contenders, making it all the more shocking to both him and the audience when he won. He said when he went on stage to accept his award that the award was "wrong for a number of reasons," including that he was drunk since he didn't think there was a chance that he'd win. In truth, everyone expected one of the three actors from Succession nominated for the role to win instead of Pascal.
