Just want to make sure I have that right. He spoke up so now they are making shit up to try and defame him? Do I have this bullshit right?

    forced down our throat by being cast in every single movie that’s released

    This is just one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. The man’s only been in 14 movies over the past 5 years. Something like 1500 major studio productions were released over that time. Why do you keep choosing to shove Pedro Pascal down your own throat?

      It seems like he’s in a lot of things, because the things he appears in tend to be good, and he’s good in them.

      I saw the same complaint about Rami Malek a while back, and his imdb profile is relatively sparse for a two-decade acting career. He just happens to be memorable.

      Huh, when you put it that way it sounds like a lot - three films a year for a decade and a half, plus the Mandalorian, etc.

      As with almost everything, I reckon the truth is in the middle - that there’s a tribal backlash by those that consider “woke” a slur, and it’s being amplified by those who are genuinely overexposed to him.

          I think you have me confused with a different poster. (I just checked and I’ve seen him in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Gladiator II and Mandalorian)

        A decade is 10 years, he only really arrived on the scene 5 years ago, where’s the other 15 years coming from?

          Your maths is as bad as mine - a decade and a half is 15 years, so I added 10 not 15.
