Before 'Game Of Thrones,' Pedro Pascal Was Getting His Ass Kicked On 'Buffy'

We’ve seen Pedro Pascal’s Prince Oberyn Martell endure the most brutal of deaths when he lost to The Mountain in “Game of Thrones” last season. However, Pascal also died on a famous ’90s show in a small part you probably don’t remember.

While doing a Reddit AMA back in May, Pascal reminded fans that one of his very first roles was a small character on “Buffy.” Pascal appeared in the Season 4 premiere episode “The Freshman” where Buffy first arrives at college and meets Pascal’s Eddie, one of the only people she starts to bond with. Eddie and Buffy run into each other when lost on campus one night, but soon after a group of vampires kidnap him and turn him into a fellow bloodsucker. Of course, Buffy is left with no choice but to kill him, and thus Pascal turns to dust. The poor guy has been doomed to losing fights since day one.

Check out this Instagram video of his short cameo on “Buffy” and then go watch it on Netflix, because what’s more adorable than a young Oberyn who still has his eyes?
