Pedro Pascal talked about how a gig kept him from going without a place to live.
Approximately two decades ago, the 48-year-old actor talked about his appearance in Buffy the Vampire Slayer during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
I had "less than $7 in my bank account" at the time, so Pedro claims he would have been living on the streets if it weren't for his brief appearance in the November 1999 episode.
"My entry level lasted about 15 years. We're talking about being able to see a doctor, getting sick, having surgery, paying my rent,” The Last of Us alum explained his dire living situation before he became famous.
Claiming that the cameo “saved the day,” Pedro shared, “'I had less than $7 in my bank account and a residual from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' showed up and saved the day.”
Moreover, he added that the paycheck “literally is the reason he was able to stay in Hollywood and not give up.”
Alongside Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix, and Austin Butler, Pedro recently wrapped up a contemporary Western picture in which he will be part of the A-list cast.
