Pedro Pascal has been a Hollywood staple for years now but it can't be denied that his stock value as an actor truly skyrocketed following his involvement in The Mandalorian. The hit Lucasfilm spinoff series was not only responsible for helping reinvigorate the entire Star Wars franchise, but it also propelled Pascal's career to heights it hasn't been before. After the first season alone, he was offered high-profile roles in projects like Wonder Woman 1984 and the upcoming live-action adaptation of the popular video game series The Last of Us.
Pascal's involvement in The Last Of Us as Joel was reportedly responsible for The Mandalorian Season 3 experiencing some production delays among other things but if you found out how much money the Chilean actor makes for doing the said series, you'll be blown away and will probably understand why The Mandalorian had to be sidelined.
According to a new report from Variety which offers an in-depth look at actor's respective television salaries, Pascal's involvement in The Last of Us makes him one of the highest-paid stars on TV earning a whopping $600,000 per episode. That gives him a total of $6,000,000 for appearing in 10 episodes of the upcoming series.
