Game of Thrones was a cultural phenomenon that swept across the world. Pascal played Oberyn Martell in season four of the hit show and stole scenes with his charismatic appearance. Martell was a breath of fresh air because he was a brilliant fighter and a passionate lover. He stirred feelings in the hearts of men and women before his shocking death toward the end of the season.

This was a major career milestone for Pascal because it was a breakout role. It opened the door for other major parts in shows like Narcos as well as Hollywood movies. Oberyn turned Pascal into a sex symbol and made him the object of desire for women across the world. His gruesome death rocked the show’s fans but Pascal loved it (via NME).
