#PedroPascal - Pedro Pascal playing a villain: a Thread.
Here we look at the villainous characters he's played in movies and on TV. Not an exhaustive list, just the ones I'm familiar with.

First up: Liam from the TV show "Nikita."
One of his earliest roles, but not what I'd consider his best. Not his fault, the character was a wooden stereotype, and I blame the predictable script for that.

Next: Kyle Hartley from the TV show "CSI."
Now THIS is more like it! Here he played a doppleganger, someone who appeared to be a good guy before being revealed as a baddie. Gave him something to work with!

Comandante Veracruz, from "Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe."
Pedro is again playing a thinly developed, stereotypical character in a campy movie, but he sure looked good doing it!

Max Phillips in "Bloodsucking Bastards."
Here's a part Pedro could really sink his teeth into (pun intended)! Another campy movie, but it was an original idea and Pedro clearly had fun making this - a naughty boy who killed people!

Jack Daniels/Whiskey, "Kingsmen: The Golden Circle"
I almost hate to put him in the villain category because he didn't start out as one. But Whiskey turned on his agents and was okay with the deaths of millions, even if it was for an understandable reason.

Ezra, from "Prospect"
One could argue that he's more of a morally gray character, and he did change as the show progressed. But he also starts out committing robbery and murder, even confesses to being a killer, so - villain.

Max Lord, "Wonder Woman 1984"
Max is kind of a weak, pathetic man, and I have to assume Pedro played him this way deliberately. I think we can all agree that it was a fine performance, even if the villain was weak. Which brings us to...

Dave York, "Equalizer II"
IMO this is Pedro's very best villain. Nothing morally gray about him, as deceptive as Kyle Hartley and as brutal as Liam. He murders a friend, threatens a kid, and has a great fight scene with Denzel. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

Well, what do you think of my post? Agree or disagree with my conclusions? Or perhaps there's another villainous part I don't know about. If so, please tell me about it!
