In honor of Pedro Pascal hosting SNL, here is our interview with Pascal from 2014 in which he talks about playing everyone's favorite kinky, bisexual hellraiser in GameofThrones.
, the wildly popular HBO-stewarded goulash of blood, sex, and swords, that epitomizes Oberyn Martell—a seductive, mysterious new character on the series better known as “the Red Viper.”
Of the thousands of characters in author George R.R. Martin’s throne-chasing universe, the Red Viper has emerged as a fan favorite. He’s the Freudianpersonified: a non-stop pleasure-seeker that makes the lascivious Tyrion Lannister look like a choirboy by comparison. To play the character, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss cast Pedro Pascal, a journeyman Chilean-American actor.
He has many lovers but he’s settled with one that really leads the way in a lot of the fun that they have. He’s found his match. But I think his backstory is just part of the richness of the character. It comes from the books, but David and Dan also find creative ways to implement the richness into just scenes of two people talking. He’s a very dangerous person but I also, in a way, find him to be a really good person.
The way he sounds and composes himself is just something I went with on instinct from reading the scenes from the show, and I used an accent in my first audition tape because I figured he seemed like a different character from everyone else we’ve come to know on the show, and that it would be valuable for him not just to look different, but sound different.There you go! He comes from another land.
