Oh look, it’s Pedro Pascal again. Dude is showing up in as many shows as Nicole Kidman these days.

I'm all for it. Good actor, seems like a fun guy. It's a sad day when I get Pascal fatigue.

And I'm just as here for it.

They didn't say that wasn't A Good Thing. Especially as I doubt he is stealing roles from Nic Cage.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but there’s always the risk of overexposure/backlash. Doubly so when you start seeing the same actors play five different superhero leads.

I also worry about a performer’s well being when they start showing up in just about everything. On top of the performance, they have to do talk shows and press junkets which can be brutal. Take some of that money you are making and spend it on a nice break and vacation for a change.

And that has potential to be in my top 10 of the year.
