Early life
Pardo was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and can trace his roots back to Italy, Spain and Yugoslavia. He received degrees in marketing and business in Argentina before moving to Miami, FL, in January 2001 to run an import business. In September 2003, he switched to acting, and booked his first commercial for the Florida lottery one month later.
Career
After building a strong base in Miami in commercials and as a host on E! Entertainment Latin America's Vidas Bonitas and a reporter for Univision, Pardo moved to Los Angeles in 2005. There his career took off, and he landed recurring roles on the hit TV shows Prison Break, 24 and The Shield and the movies Pretty Obsessions and Counterpunch. He speaks Spanish, English, Portuguese and Italian fluently, and has performed in all of these languages.
His break-through role came in February 2015, when he was cast by Juan Jose Campanella, director of the 2010 Oscar winner The Secret in Their Eyes, to play Padre Martin in the hit Argentinian telenovela Entre Canibales. The popularity of the series has made him a star in his native Argentina and throughout South America. He and Campanella got the chance to work together again when Pardo guest starred in an episode of the TV show Colony that aired in 2017.
Pardo has also done voiceover work for movies, TV and video games, including The Cleveland Show, Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto. In 2014, he voiced the character Blackout in Disney's Planes: Fire & Rescue.
