There are tons of celebs who guested on popular shows before they got their big break: Ryan Reynolds on The X Files, Evan Peters in The Office, Jennifer Lawrence on Monk...the list goes on. Nickelodeon So recently, I was rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and realized I TOTALLY missed that Pedro Pascal is in an episode! He plays Eddie, a friendly college student turned bloodthirsty vampire, in the Season 4 premiere, "The Freshman." Warner Bros. / Dominique Charriau / Getty Images Look at that baby face! Buffy first meets Eddie when she (literally) bumps into him on UC Sunnydale campus. They talk about the woes of being college freshmen and have this delightful exchange: Warner Bros. Eddie seems like a pretty alright dude by all accounts. But unfortunately for him, two seconds after he says goodbye to Buffy, he's attacked by a gang of vampires. Warner Bros.

Live footage of me watching this: Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF FOX / Via giphy.com When Buffy notices Eddie is missing from Psych 101 class, she goes to his roommate, who tells her that he basically just decided to walk out of the dorm and never come back. Warner Bros. This reads exactly like the "I'm sorry, I can't, don't hate me" Post-it note from Sex and the City. Of course, Buffy doesn't buy it (especially since Eddie left his precious copy of Human Bondage behind!). When she runs into him later, she's relieved - uh, until he turns around, that is... Warner Bros. He attacks Buffy, who fights right back. She pretty much immediately turns him into dust. Smell ya later, Eddie! Warner Bros. What. An. Episode.

She even posted this sweet tribute on Instagram in 2023: View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @sarahmgellar / Warner Bros. / Via Instagram: @undefined The episode was a big deal for Pedro in more ways than one - in fact, it literally saved his career. "My entry-level lasted about 15 years. And we're talking about [not] being able to see a doctor, getting sick, getting surgery, paying my rent, when I had less than $7 in my account," The Last of Us actor candidly told Entertainment Tonight in 2024. "A residual from Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed up and saved the day. It literally is the reason I was able to stay in [Hollywood] and not give up." Michael Buckner / Getty Images So, a massive THANK YOU to whoever casted this episode. Imagine Game of Thrones, The Mandalorian, The Last of Us, or The Wild Robot (2024) without this guy?!
