The media and industry people described Pardo’s performance as “an exquisite presence, with warmth, charisma and believability”. Campanella on Argentina’s National Radio stated, “Danny is a find; he has a different way of ‘being’ and he brings a fresh, honest and strong portrayal of a priest from the slums”.

He realized his passion for his self-expression during a particular moment in his life; when he distinguished that 14 years of successful businesses and his BA in Marketing and his BA in Business where limiting his possibilities. After jumping immediately into acting in September 2003, landed his first regional commercial for Florida Lottery, exactly one month after declaring himself as an actor. Being dedicated, focused and determined to make his career as an actor, gave him the opportunity to explore aspects that were completely unimaginable to him, such as landing in 2007 recurring co-star roles in Prison Break, 24, a recurring role in the 7th season of The Shield. Four Hispanic soap operas (telenovelas: Anita no the Rajes, Prisionera, Decisiones, Al Filo de la Ley), jumpstarted his career on TV. Beginnings of 2004 found him hosting a Latin American show on E-Entertainment TV Vidas Bonitas and becoming a reporter for Univision’s show Control with interviews to Paulina Rubio and being a guest at the show The Chat in MUN2 Channel as new upcoming actor.

In only 4 months into his career, he booked his first National SAG Commercial for Lincoln/Mercury. In February 2005 he created opportunities to work in the Los Angeles market, where everybody knows how difficult it is to start. Two weeks into this adventure, he managed to sign commercially with the a prestigious Talent Agency, with whom booked in two weeks 2 National Commercials, Circuit City and Jeep, and landed two supporting roles in independent movies. From then on, he became a money making machine with the following commercials: Time Warner Cable, Toyota, Burger King, 21st Century, Dunkin Donuts, Circuit City, Jeep, Pledge Furniture Polish, Whirlpool Appliances, CVS Pharmacy, ITT Tech University, Home Depot, Lincoln/Mercury, Dashers Insurance, and many more. Danny’s success in acting, his larger than life persona and way of being, quickly earned him recognition in every set he has worked on.

His ability to navigate through different arenas, gave him the power to even broaden his horizons. His face was used for a Print campaigns, such as Nextel during 2004, what launched him into booking several more print jobs such as Verizon, Hewlett Packard, Heineken, Four Seasons Hotels, Ford, Sony, Coca-Cola, Bellsouth, Ft. Lauderdale Tourism, several Real Estate developments and others.

The motto he goes by describes why he has become successful in a very competitive business in such a short period of time: It is not what you do, but actually it is HOW you do what you do that makes a difference… You can count on him giving everything he is and has for his craft.
