Why Pedro Pascal Loved His Game of Thrones Death Scene
Pedro Pascal, who played the Dornish Prince Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones, has admitted that he loves his character's notoriously gruesome death scene. The actor joined the cast of HBO's hit fantasy series in season 4, appearing as the sexually fluid and proficient fighter Prince Oberyn, who arrives in King's Landing to attend King Joffrey's marriage in place of his brother Prince Doran. However, it soon becomes clear that Oberyn has an ulterior motive for representing his home kingdom at the royal wedding. The prince reveals that his sister, Elia Martell, and her children were murdered by Tywin Lannister's knight, Gregor «The Mountain» Clegane, during the Sack of King's Landing decades earlier. Pascal's Oberyn seeks a chance to avenge them by killing «The Mountain» himself. Oberyn character quickly became a fan favorite among Game of Thrones devotees, with Pascal garnering much praise for his performance.
