10: Dave York:

What's so amazing about this character that Pascal plays? Dave York wasn't someone with an extraordinary role. It's about the character's actions! For fans who have watched "The Equalizer 2" they will understand what this film and Pascal delivered!

He played an antagonist to Denzel Washington!

His role in the Denzel Washington film shows how he really had no true desire to become the dad of his children, who could only have bad, unfortunate consequences! Dave was working as part of a secret intelligence agency as a contract killer, showing a really dark side to what this "dad" was capable of! While audiences may have gotten to see a few scenes with his family! The impression that "The Equalizer 2" gave audiences is that this role has many problems.

You see, Dave really went out of his way to ruin Robert McCall's life (Denzel Washington's character in the Movie). In fact, there was a tragic moment. Dave and his associates were so callous!

Dave was part of a plot that led to the murder of one of Robert McCall's best friends! The impact is so important to highlight for the show.
You see the destructive nature, putting Dave at the bottom of this list.

9. Maxwell "Max" Lord

You're looking at a villain from DC who might give audiences some amazing thrills as he fights for world domination!

Fans of Wonder Woman will probably have a special spot in their hearts for "Wonder Woman 1984" with its great performances, including one from Pedro Pascal who stars as Max Lord in this memorable film.

What we learn about Max Lord is that his personal experiences were tragic.

"Max" as his father figure had a horrible, negative past with his father. This was also shown through an unfortunate encounter with his own dad that was pretty much all negativity.
So when he decided to go on a hunt for some power, that was a life-altering quest! A desire to be better than what he had.
It looks like he took it all too far, because Max Lord took on this really dark goal! In the movie Max tried his best to get the "Wish Stone" so he could have some great power and get out of his own troubles. His motive went beyond just power, as his true motive was his desperate need for attention, even his son's!

Pascal plays an incredibly dynamic and somewhat broken character! What was interesting about this role. He plays a man with this sense of emptiness who can never make it back to those that care for him, including his son, Alistair. He always tried to win over the affections of his son! His efforts to become better failed to achieve his goal!

It almost seemed like his son was doomed. But, even though he's in harm's way "Max Lord " found a way to change. There was a connection with his son.

8. Ezra:

Pascal takes on some remarkable characters and with Ezra you might find this to be an exciting moment as the role moves forward and truly gets you thinking about what's going on.

In Prospect (2018), we meet a character in the world of Sci-Fi. He's got a really raw portrayal as this father figure. He starts out being someone who Cee (played by Sophie Thatcher) needs to depend on when she's going on a very dangerous mission! A "prospecting mission", so the film makes you feel uneasy as she's on this incredibly dangerous journey, she learns that she needs to take some chances.

You see this interesting moment where Ezra kills Cee's dad during a heist, and he even tried to kill her too! So in the moment you are shocked!

That's the beginning! Then the movie goes down this interesting, shocking journey that shows just how complex these relationships can be! Ezra's heart changes and he begins to look out for Cee, and it Shows!

There's a point in the movie where he needs an amputation after being injured by Cee, and she is there! They learn a lot through that.
Even though Ezra, took a harsh path, we see that his change was truly meaningful.

7. Silva:

Another one of Pascal's many great Roles! This one, might leave audiences surprised, and it's the reason why this role isn't much higher up.

There's this interesting short film "Strange Way of Life,"

In this special story, you see Pascal and his other co-star Ethan Hawke. But their relationship really comes in those final moments as this father has an uneasy bond with his son!

Silva's actions as a father are driven by one simple concept: "Protection".

"Strange Way of Life" makes audiences go on this journey that revolves around the quest of Jake, the film's protagonist played by Ethan Hawke, who has a search on his hands, to bring down someone who committed a heinous act - they were looking for a missing suspect!

Silva's son is at the heart of the investigation. And in the process we see how the two men battle, Silva is also trying to clear up this chaos!
He tries to find his son, "Joe" and call him out, warning him that there is a price for doing the wrong things. In those moments, you really get to see the relationship, they care for each other but that is a very challenging aspect, because Silva almost gives into rage.
It is truly a protective measure for both the son, Joe, as he goes to defend Jake. That's a remarkable moment and keeps Silva above the "bottom" characters on this list.
