Pedro was shooting in London at the time, when talks began about his getting the part as Joel Miller in the video game inspired series took place.
‘It was late, and I took an Ambien,’ he said.
‘At that point I was kind of hyped up… I was excited about the prospect.’
‘They called me to tell me I had gotten the job, but I had already taken the tablet. I really didn’t think… I thought I would at least have to wait until the next day.’
And then a couple of minutes on the call went by apparently, and I was like ‘What’s up? Did I get the job?”‘ he said while laughing with his fellow guests.
‘I forgot completely, woke up in the morning, and was all like ‘Oh my god, did I get the job, I’m going to have to wait all day.’

In an Instagram post just before the season finale, the journeyman actor wrote his thanks.
