Have you seen the latest Apple AirPods advertisement created by Oscar-winning director Spike Jonze?

It features actor Pedro Pascal.

It is an ad that isn’t centred on the product nor selling.

Rather, it is focused on the undertones of how the AirPods help Pedro’s character shift his emotional state from low to high.

It forsakes commercialism for art.

And that is the essence of Pedro Pascal in his early acting days.

Pedro Pascal has been acting for a long time but really only broke out into mainstream consciousness in 2023 despite having great roles in Netflix’s Narcos and HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Before that, despite having little commercial success, he kept the faith and kept at his love for the craft.

Not giving up in face of challenges is easier when one genuinely loves what they do.
