A Pedro Pascal lookalike contest was held over the weekend at a Mexican restaurant in New York City’s Lower East Side. The event was in response to Pascal’s claim that there’s no good Mexican food in the city. The winner, Brooklyn father George Gountas, was deemed to have the closest resemblance. Gountas, a lighting designer for The Daily Show, walked away with $50 and a year’s supply of burritos. His wife, Jenny Gania, shared that she often compares her husband to the Chilean-American actor, with the resemblance first noted when Game Of Thrones premiered. Gania encouraged Gountas to enter the Father’s Day contest, saying, “It’s going to be your Father’s Day treat.” (Complex)
