NYC dad dragged to Pedro Pascal lookalike contest — and wins it

There was a Pedro Pascal lookalike contest in New York City on Sunday, hosted by a Mexican restaurant called Son del North.

The winner, 42-year-old George Gountas, is a lighting designer on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”.  He was convinced to show up by co-workers and his wife.

He beat out 26 other contestants, and won 50 bucks and a year’s worth of burritos.  (Check out some pics here.)

The owners of Son del North were looking for a way to celebrate their first anniversary, and were inspired by the Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest that went viral last year.

And Gountas has a message for his more famous double . . . quote, “Let’s hang out and have a beer and make a new friend.  Vamos Pedro!  Let’s go!”
