Pedro is Chilean, but his parents migrated to the USA after the fall of dictator Salvador Allende, as they were his supporters. After settling in San Antonio, Texas, Pedro started swimming training, and participated in several competitive events, but after he experienced acting at school, he quit swimming and fully focused on what was to become his career. He went to Orange County School of the Arts, and after matriculation enrolled at the New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
Before making his screen debut, Pedro worked in New York as a waiter, and then jumped into theater acting, earning a name for himself in several productions, which helped perfect his acting talents and laid the basis to his net worth.
His acting debut came in 1996 with the role of Alex in the short film “Burning Bridges”, but it wasn’t until 2009 that he made a significant appearance, meantime making several one-time appearances in such TV series as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Touched by an Angel”, and “Law & Order” in 2008. In 2009 he was chosen for the role of Nathan Landry in the TV series “The Good Wife”, and in two years featured in six episodes of the show, which helped increase his wealth.

Nevertheless, this turned out to be great for Pedro, as he was given the role of Prince Oberyn Martell in the highly-acclaimed TV fantasy drama “Game of Thrones”. This appearance garnered wider attention, and subsequently Pedro was soon cast in the new series “Narcos”, as Javier Peña. So far, he has appeared in 30 episodes of the Golden Globe Award-nominated series, which has certainly helped increase his net worth.
