Kip Pardue
A handsome blond actor with all-American athletic good looks and magnetic charisma onscreen, Kip Pardue was a ready-made heartthrob with the acting abilities to set him apart from other pretty faces. Having been discovered in 1996 while working as a production assistant on the short-lived ABC series "Townies" on a summer break from Yale, the college football quarterback left the team in his senior year in order to work as a model and pay his bills. With credits including Abercrombie & Fitch, Polo and Armani campaigns, Pardue became a familiar face in the industry.
