The scene? Son Del North, a local Mexican joint turned casting couch for The Last of Us star’s unofficial twins. The prize? Eternal bragging rights, $50, and a year’s worth of burritos.

Emerging victorious from the chaos was George Gountas, a Brooklyn dad who bore such a resemblance to Pascal that the crowd erupted into spontaneous chants of “Pedro! Pedro!” before the final vote even began.

Gountas told The Independent that only entered after co-workers at The Daily Show convinced him he was Pascal’s long-lost twin.

The competition started with 26 aspiring Pedros strutting their stuff on a makeshift podium out front, flaunting their best smulders. After a grueling round of judging by a panel of three,  the pool was narrowed down to ten, then three.

But once Gountas, contestant number five, took the stage, it was game over.

Restaurant co-owner Wim Shih said the whole event was meant to inject a little joy into the world. “There’s just so much sadness in the world right now, and we wanted to be a bit of sunshine today amidst all that,” Shih said. 

Mission accomplished.
