Pedro Pascal Considered Quitting Acting to Become a Nurse

Pedro Pascal explained why he decided to stick with acting instead of becoming a nurse.

Pedro Pascal is admitting that he once considered becoming a nurse instead due to his struggle to find roles as an actor. “My vision of it was that if I didn’t have some major exposure by the time I was twenty-nine years old, it was over,” he said, “so I was constantly readjusting what it meant to commit my life to this profession, and giving up the idea of it looking like I thought it would when I was a kid. Paulson met Pascal when he was enrolled in NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 1993; she added to Esquire in 2023 that at the time, she would help financially support him during his early acting career.
