Trivia
Born in Santiago, Chile, to Veronica Pascal and José Pedro Balmaceda Riera, a medical professional. His family fled the brutal regime of dictator Augusto Pinochet, and thus moved to the U.S. during Pedro's early years. He was raised in Orange County, California and San Antonio, Texas.

Quotes
I just went to your typical public schools, and my dad would take us to the movies every week, or he'd buy scalped tickets to San Antonio Spurs games. I remember I was four or five years old and my parents, who were very young, took us to see The Police in Austin, and Iggy Pop opened.
