Pardella was nominated for the Silver Condor Award for Best New Actor (Revelación Masculina) 2017 for the film Como una novia sin sexo.[1][3]
In 2017, he obtained three awards for the dramatic film Pinamar with Juan Grandinetti, directed by Federico Godfrid. He also acted in the film Los olvidados,[4] which premiered in March 2018 in Argentina. It won four awards in several film festivals throughout the Americas and Europe.[1]
Thanks to his work in Pinamar, he has obtained various awards:[1] Golden Kikito Award for Best Actor (Kikito de Ouro)[5] in Festival de Gramado which took place in Brazil in August 2017, Patacon Award for Best Actor (Premio Patacón a Mejor Actor)[6] in Festival Tandil Cine, which was awarded by SAGAI in November 2017,[7] and got a special mention by a judge in XV Tandil Cine, which also occurred in November 2017.[1] In 2019, he was a juror in Mar del Plata International Film Festival[6]

In 2018, he starred in Martín Deus's film Los Enanos, in the Porteño Theater. In 2020, he appeared in the film Ámbar.[9][10][11]
Society of the Snow edit
A breakthrough in Pardella's career was in 2023, when he portrayed Nando Parrado,[1][12] one of the survivors of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 in the film Society of the Snow (La sociedad de la nieve).[13] The film, directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards.[14] This was the result of a demanding work by the cast. Pardella had to explore an intimate relationship with Parrado in order to portray his extreme real-life experiences surviving 72 days in the snow.[13] Further, Pardella had to undergo intense physical and mental preparation, which was essential to give life to the drama experienced by the character. He had to gain 10 kilos to start filming, and then lose 15 kilos, in order to show the physical deterioration suffered by Parrado.[15]
Pardella and his fellows describe shooting the film as an emotional challenge.[16] When Parrado and Pardella met in person, he stated: Who is my favorite superhero? He is human, without superpowers, his name is Nando Parrado.[17]
