Pedro Pascal as Joel in HBO's The Last of Us.

Pedro Pascal may now be one of the biggest names in Hollywood, but his career hasn't been all smooth sailing as the actor has recently revealed that he would have been either homeless or no longer an actor if it wasn’t for his small appearance in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight after his SAG award win for Best Male Actor in a Drama Series, Pascal opened up about the long road in his acting career leading to this very moment.
