Between the fact that ‘The Last of Us’ is airing on HBO Max and that the third season of ‘The Mandalorian’, one of the most beloved Star Wars projects of recent years, has just premiered, Pedro Pascal is experiencing one of the best moments of his career. But, no matter how well the present is going for him, he has proven not to forget his past about him, in particular, He fondly recalled his brief role in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the actress he shared the scene with, series star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
In an interview with Access Hollywood at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘The Mandalorian’, Pascal had some nice words about the time he worked, if only in one episode, with Sarah Michelle Gellaren on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’: “What I’ve just discovered, which makes me so excited and can’t wait to have my phone so I can look it up myself, is that Sarah Michelle Gellar remembers me. I want you to know that I remember every moment of the shoot that episode, however short. She was a very nice stage partner and we had a great time.” The protagonist of ‘The Last of Us’ appears in the season 4 episode titled ‘The Freshman’ which aired in 1999.

Pascal says he just found out that Gellar remembers him because, shortly before the interview, he posted the above photo on his Instagram account. In it we see the very young Pedro Pascal and Sarah Michelle Gellar in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. The actress clarified that the affection is mutual, before Pascal’s beautiful words towards her, Gellar replied in her Instagram story (via USA Today Entertainment): “As if I could forget you, I adore you.”
‘The Mandalorian’ and ‘The Last of Us’
Pedro Pascal stars in two of the great series of the moment, ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘The Mandalorian’ and, although the setting is very different from each other, since the one on HBO Max is set in an apocalyptic Kingdom United and the one on Disney+ in space both have one thing in common. A very important aspect of the series is this Pascal’s character is a kind of father figure who defends his little ones, Ellie in “The Last of Us” and Grogu in “The Mandalorian”. Aware that this story is being discussed on social networks, the actor commented on the comparisons: “The theme of the protector and protégé, father and son, is not new to any of us. So I think both series derive from other sources in the most beautiful way and then give them their originality. Very often I see Ridley Scott in a lot of what Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni do in The Mandalorian. And I see that Neil Druckmann’s game that was released in 2013 inspired a lot of things after that.” Pascal also joked that if Grogu and Ellie met, they would leave him.
‘The Last of Us’ airs a new episode every Monday on HBO Max”The Mandalorians” every Wednesday on Disney+.
