There was a meme going around a few years ago about Pedro Pascal “being in everything.” It also seemed the internet had a hate hardon for the guy, I could never figure out why, but “overexposed” was the dominant “neutral” take.

Since we have analytics for things, has anyone done the numbers to see if Pedro Pascal was objectively more exposed than other actors?

Ryan Gosling, who also seems to similarly be in everything (especially in similar genres to Pascal) but without eliciting any complaints, would be a good point of comparison…

    Had a quick look on Rotten tomatoes and he was in several flashy popular films and TV series which spanned a lot of genres so “everyone” probably saw him in something. Likely other actors were in more things and more viewed things but in more specific roles or types of film so you don’t get that feeling of saturation.

      Yes, just “total views” wouldn´t be good information if he was in a genre ghetto; we’d want UNIQUE views, that is to say, how many individual people saw Pedro Pascal in something.
