Pedro Pascal (Jose Pedro Balmaceda Pascal) is an Chilean-American actor who plays senior FBI Agent Juan Badillo, in Graceland's first season. Badillo was Mike Warren's FBI handler as they worked to investigate Paul Briggs' corruption.
Early in his career, Pedro Pascal made appearances in several large shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Homeland. During this period, he took smaller theatre roles and worked part time but struggled to afford food. Even during these hard times, he managed to earn the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award and the Garland Award for his role in the play Orphans.
Just before he took his breakout role as Oberyn Martel in Game of Thrones, he featured in Graceland as Agent Juan Badillo. Juan was Mike Warren's passionate and manipulative FBI handler. He stoked Mike's paranoia that fed through the entire show and acted as the counterweight to Paul Briggs' control over Mike.
Since featuring in the show, Pedro Pascal has become an a-list actor. He played the titular Madalorian in Disney+'s The Mandalorian; stars in hit HBO show The Last of Us as Joel Miller and has also recently filmed Gladiator II, alongside Paul Mescal.
