The Chilean actor is usually always very committed to different political causes. It has to do with his past: behind him there is a story of exile, pain, resilience and a permanent connection with his roots. His father, José Pedro Balmaceda, is a specialist in reproduction. The his mother. Verónica Pascal, was a child psychologist and cousin of Andrés Pascal Allende, leader of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR) in Chile, who had to hide in Pedro’s family home following Augusto Pinochet’s military coup that overthrew President Salvador Allende in 1973.
The Balmaceda Pascals ended up asking for asylum at the Venezuelan embassy and finally left with their children Javiera and Pedro, who at that time were little more than babies. Their paths ended in Texas, United States. Years later two other children would arrive at the home, Nicolás and Lucas Pascal.

With two immigrant and professional parents, the cinema was Pedro’s “nanny” and his sister.
