Danny Pardo

Danny Pardo was born on 15 November 1971 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a city that would later serve as both a cultural anchor and a source of artistic inspiration for him. He traces his ancestry to Italy, Spain, and the former Yugoslavia, a rich tapestry that has informed his multicultural perspective and fluency in several languages. After completing degrees in marketing and business in his native country, Pardo emigrated to the United States in January 2001, initially settling in Miami to run an import enterprise. The entrepreneurial chapter was relatively brief; by September 2003 he pivoted to the performing arts, securing his first on‑screen gig—a commercial for the Florida lottery—just a month later. The early Miami years saw him honing his craft through a steady stream of Spanish‑language commercials, hosting duties on E! Entertainment Latin America’s Vidas Bonitas, and reporting for Univision, experiences that built a solid foundation for his subsequent move to Los Angeles in 2005.
In Los Angeles, Pardo’s career accelerated dramatically. He landed recurring roles on high‑profile series such as Prison Break, 24, and The Shield, while also appearing in feature films like Pretty Obsession (2012) and Counterpunch (2014). His linguistic versatility—fluent in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Italian—has enabled him to perform in all four languages, expanding his appeal across North and South American markets. A pivotal moment arrived in February 2015 when acclaimed director Juan José Campanella cast him as Padre Martin in the Argentine telenovela Entre Caníbales, catapulting him to international stardom throughout South America. Pardo has since returned to collaborate with Campanella on the series Colony (2017) and has contributed voice work to notable titles such as The Cleveland Show, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Grand Theft Auto V, and Disney’s Planes: Fire & rescue (2014). His diverse portfolio underscores a dynamic career that bridges continents, languages, and media formats.
