Despite his similar look, when I watch him in mandalorian, narcos, got, or Last of us, i forget im watching an actor and get sucked into the character. To me that makes him one of the few this generation who can pull it off.
Also as a Latino love him and he’s proud to be Latino, unlike Oscar Isaacs who goes out of his way to erase his Latino background. Also love Diego Luna
Maybe that could be the reason I don’t see the hype. I never particularly noticed anything in his roles. He’s pretty good but that’s all for me. Oscar Isaac on the other hand, idk he was Latino but his roles make me feel like he stands out. Idk how to say it.
I can understand trying to do what you think will get you roles, especially in a current and post-Trump America, but I think diversity is incredibly special. Like, I want to know and understand all of what makes a person the icon that they are, and celebrate it with them.
I’m probably totally biased by the multicultural influences and experiences in my life.
I think it’s mostly a combination of a) Hollywood liberals love to elevate safe non-white celebrities who don’t rock the boat and b) there hasn’t been much variety in leading men over the last decade (regardless of cultural/ethnic background) so people are enjoying seeing a new handsome face alongside the usual sex symbols like Ryan Gosling and Jake Gyllenhaal. I agree that Pascal is not really worthy of this level of hype on his performances alone.
I’m gonna be honest. I don’t get the hype.

You should watch Prospect

Using his platform to combat transphobia is nice.
He is the role model ally!

The Mandalorian alone shows how good he is. He did 90% of it fully covered, all body and speech.
He crushes his role in game of thrones too.
He is a good actor with good range and more importantly he isn’t “stiff”
How does that show he’s good. I watched the first couple seasons and I think I wouldn’t notice a bit if the actor under the mask changed.
