“Game of Thrones” is the show that really put Pascal on the map. He played colorful and sexy Oberyn Martell, a member of the House Martell, one of the Great Houses of Westeros. Prince Oberyn was renowned for his sharp wit, fighting skills, fluid sexuality and lust for revenge.
That vengefulness ultimately did him in, however, as he died in combat against Gregor Clegane (“The Mountain”). Even when it appeared he had the upper hand in the fight, Martell failed to finish his competitor off, instead choosing to taunt him into confessing to his crimes. When he got too close, Clegane crushed his skull with his bare hands, killing Martell instantly in quite the dramatic scene, even by GoT standards.
