Pedro Pascal was excited, thrilled and delighted when he learned that Sarah Michelle Gellar remembered working with him on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
Pascal attended the season 3 premiere of his Disney+ series “The Mandalorian” in Los Angeles on Tuesday, where he heard about the name-dropping Gellar’s “Buffy” Post, talking with Entertainment Tonight and Access HollywoodPascal was amazed Gellar gave her a shoutout on social media — or missed her at all.
“Sarah Michelle Gellar posted about me?” Pascal asked. “I need to get on the World Wide Web!”
Although Pascal has an Instagram account, he has not seen Geller’s post The two of them from their shared “Buffy” episode from 1999. “When #Mother met #Father,” Gellar wrote,
when pascal found out Post, he turned misty: “I want him to know that I remember every moment of shooting that episode, as brief as it was,” said Pascal. “She was such a great scene partner, and we had the best time.”
Pascal shared a story with “Entertainment Tonight” about when Gellar kept ice cream in her trailer and shared it with her during a night shoot on the UCLA campus. He told the reporter he could “go on and on” about his time filming the classic show 24 years ago. “She was incredibly kind,” Pascal said.
In 1999, Pascal played Eddie in the season 4 premiere episode of “Buffy”. His character was that of a college student who befriended Gellar, although the two did not last because she had become a vampire.
Geller responds to Pascal’s response to that instagram story Wednesday, saying: “As if I could ever forget you.”
