'Revolution's' JD Pardo: What's in his wallet and 9 more things to know

If you're not familiar with JD Pardo yet, you're about to be. He's got a memorable role in November's "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" as Nahuel, a 150-year-old venomous human/vampire hybrid. Having starred on "American Dreams," "Drive," and "90210," Pardo iss also known for his groundbreaking role in Lifetime's "A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story," as the transgendered young woman who was brutally murdered in 2002.

As the disarmingly endearing Nate on NBC's new high-concept thriller "Revolution," he catches his love interest Charlie (Tracy Spirakados) off-guard when it's revealed that he may have some less-than-desirable alliances. Pardo is a standout in a cast that includes Billy Burke and Giancarlo Esposito, so it's no wonder he's part of Zap2it's Ones to Watch for Fall 2012.

Zombie apocalypse or alien invasion?
Zombie apocalypse. If they died once, they can die again.
