Pedro Pascal is a busy guy these days. So much so that when The Mandalorian star’s panel on his HBO show The Last of Us at SXSW in Austin, Texas, on March 8 went over the allotted time, he pointed at the clock to alert the panel host.
“Oh, we’re out of time,” which Pascal, 49, quickly confirmed. “You don’t want to give us one…” the host Joanna Robinson of The Ringer asked. Before she could complete the sentence, Pascal said, “Sorry,” got up from his chair, did a mic drop, and then quickly walked off stage, flashing a peace sign as the crowd cheered and clapped.
