Pascal

Pascal is an only child descended from English on his father's side and Scottish and Irish on his mother's. Pascal was born in Palos Verdes California in 1974. He moved with his family to Oakton Virginia when he was 3 and started playing the piano when he was 4. Pascal attended The Potomac School in McLean Virginia and started acting and playing soccer when he was 7. He became a devoted Redskins fan at 8 when they won their first super bowl in 1983. Shortly thereafter, Pascal moved with his family again, this time to Houston Texas. In Texas, Pascal continued his acting and soccer pursuits and added baseball and American football to his repertoire of sports, but soccer is the one that stuck. Pascal attended the Awty International School where he captained his high school soccer team, as the goal keeper, to three consecutive Texas state championships, one undefeated. At 15 Pascal learned to play the drums and thanks to his classical training as a pianist, gravitated toward heavy metal music. Due to numerous injuries to his fingers from playing goalie he chose not to attend Rice University's school of music to pursue piano composition but return to his home state of California to pursue acting and movie making. Pascal did his undergraduate degree at the University of Southern California where he majored in theatre and minored in film and television production. He returned to USC for his graduate degree in film production which he completed in a blistering 3 years, by 2000. Pascal has made about 25 short films as well as acting in over 100. He debuted his thesis film, "The Cop, the Priest, their Chicks, and a Rockstar", at the Director's Guild in 2001. He has written 20 feature screenplays and three episodes of television and will release his first feature length movie, "Gone Dark", in 2013. Pascal resides in Los Angeles California where, in addition to making movies, he buys and sells real estate.
