Aside from being the Internet’s favorite “Daddy”, Pedro Pascal has been on quite a run portraying iconic father figures on-screen. Whether he’s taking care of Grogu in The Mandalorian or becoming Ellie (Bella Ramsey)’s adoptive father in The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal’s roles have proven time and again that you don’t need to be blood-related to be a good dad. Watch Joel and Ellie travel across a post-apocalyptic America in this critically-acclaimed Original Series on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.


Ned Stark in Game of Thrones

Ned Stark was the perfect knight—strong, loyal, and honorable–but more than that, he was also a great dad. Dare we say, maybe even the best in the series (although, there wasn’t much competition in Westeros). One of the rare father figures in a fantasy world filled with politicians first and fathers second, Ned was a rare breed. Check out Game of Thrones on HBO Go powered by PLDT Home.


Professor Utonium in Powerpuff Girls

Being a single dad is tough–multiply by three for single dads to three little girls. Yet, Professor Utonium doesn’t seem at all phased by the challenge. Granted, his little girls are “perfect,” not to mention superpowered. Still, raising three little superheroes who constantly have to save the day is no easy feat, but Professor Utonium never fails to tuck them in at night and share his nuggets of wisdom from time-to-time.

Bill Henrickson in Big Love

Bill Henrickson, portrayed by the late Bill Paxton, isn’t your typical dad. Well, he is, except that he doesn’t have a typical family. Bill is the father to seven children…from three different wives. Big Love was a groundbreaking series that told the story of a polygamist marriage and the never-ending drama that such a set-up could cause. At the center of it all is the patriarch Bill, who is just trying to be a good father, husband, and devout man of faith. Stream Big Love on HBO Go with PLDT Home.


Richard Watterson in The Amazing World of Gumball

Richard Watterson isn’t the typical fatherly figure. The traditional parenting usually falls to his wife, Michelle, and Richard’s more of the fun buddy that his children Gumball, Darwin, and Anais have. However, one fatherly quality that Richard has is his undeniable love for his family. Watch the Wattersons’ shenanigans in The Amazing World of Gumball on HBO Go.
