Not only did he have to gain a huge 40 pounds to play the role, he also had to leave his family behind for a year when he relocated to Bogota to learn the language. Speaking to EFE, Pedro Pascal who plays the role of a gringo,as well as the sexy squishy-eyed Martell incertain series,stated that the story of X is like a Shakespearean drama or a greek tragedy with a king who falls from a great height very quickly. However, the true star of the show for him was not X at all, instead concluding that:"What I like most about the series is how it visually captures the feeling of being in the locations and on the coast...It's a world with a personality reflected in the land, in the people, that is unique, something special and very beautiful. I think the location is the star of the series.ID X.

Question 4#NP

X is an ancientIrish nameas isMoran, the surname of X's henchman,Sebastian Moran.X may have been inspired in part by two real-world mathematicians. If the characterisations of X's academic papers are reversed, they describe real mathematical events.The Valley of Fear, which contains the comment about maths so abstruse that no one could criticise it, was published in September 1914. Irish mathematicianDes MacHalehas suggestedGeorge Boolemay have been a model for X.This famous character is played by Andrew Scott, whose first appearance occurs as agayman.

Question 5#NPGilligan got the idea for X's gruesome death from a real grisly ending that happened to a rocket scientist and ritualist called John Whitedale Parsons. Gilligan heard about him in Strange Angel, George Pendle's book. Parsons, who happened to practice black magic and had "some kind of sex cult going in Pasadena", according to Gilligan, "came to an unfortunate end when he was making up a batch of mercury fulminate for a special effects project."Something went wrong and it blew up in his face. The story is that he survived with part of his face peeled off for several hours before he finally succumbed in the hospital. X died as a zombie, they say. ID X.
