Early Life

José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal was born on April 2nd of 1975 in Santiago, Chile. Raised by two medical professionals alongside three siblings, Pascal was forced to relocate to Denmark with his family amidst political unrest in his home nation. His parents were avowed socialists, and they chose to flee the nation and seek political asylum in Denmark. In a later interview, Pedro stated that his family was "lucky to get out with their lives."

Although the Pascals initially settled in Denmark, they soon moved once again to the United States. Pedro was then raised in Orange County and Texas. During his early years, Pascal became passionate about swimming and drama, although he eventually abandoned athletics to focus solely on acting. After graduating from high school, Pedro attended the Orange County School of the Arts. He then went on to study at the renowned Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
