This Father’s Day, one of film and television’s most beloved daddies was celebrated in New York City.

A Pedro Pascal look-alike contest was held in the streets of NYC’s Lower East Side, where fans crowned Pedro #5, Brooklyn dad George Gountas, for having the closest resemblance to the Golden Globe-nominated The Last of Us star.

Gountas actually works in the television business – he is the lighting designer for The Daily Show.

Gountas, who was dragged to the contest by his wife Jenny Gania, won $50 and a year’s supply of burritos courtesy of host Son Del North Mexican restaurant, according to the New York Post.

“It started when the Game of Thrones came out the first time — that’s when we first heard it,” Gania told the post. “Then some kids started noting it, too, so I was like, when we saw this [contest], I was like, ‘It’s Father’s Day. You have to go. It’s going to be your Father’s Day treat.’ It’s funny, because he’s not on social media at all. But now he’s going to be everywhere.”

After Gountas beat out nearly 30 other Pedros who gathered outside the eatery in the rain for the contest, Son Del North chef and co-owner Annisha Garcia said the inspiration came after Pascal claimed in 2023 that there is no good Mexican food in the city.

“I’m, ‘So sorry, but there’s no Mexican, good Mexican food in New York?’” said Garcia. “And we were like, ‘There is, and we are here.’”

Sunday’s gathering came after Timothée Chalamet surprised fans at another look-alike contest in his honor in the nearby Madison Square Park in October.
