Jordan Jones - Biography

Jordan Jones is a Los-Angeles based actor born in Hartford, Connecticut, and raised in Jasper, Indiana. Jones was exposed to the arts at an early age, with his parents being his leading inspirations. His father Michael was a theatre actor and director, and his mother Caroline was a dancer and choreographer. The two of them became Jordan's acting instructors once they saw he was serious about becoming an actor.

While Jordan didn't love going to school as a child, he cherished the opportunity to learn and often enjoyed reading books about acting, philosophy and martial arts. During the summer months Jordan would play soccer and spend time working with his father and grandfather at the family farm. In middle school, he found joy participating in theatre and choir. In high school, Jordan was a four year letterman for his soccer team, captain for two years, and made the Olympic Development Program State Team three years in a row. He won the statewide "Top Team Player" award during his senior year, and was honored with an award created after him in his freshman year called "The 12th Man Award." He also earned awards in other sports and in theatre.

After high school, Jordan briefly attended university in Indiana and then made the pivotal decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. He continued his education in LA, where he chose to study philosophy and theatre. Within two months of arriving in LA, Jordan landed his first writing and hosting job. After relentlessly pursuing film and television opportunities in LA, and continuing to refine his craft by studying with several prominent acting coaches, Jordan lived in Paris with the goal of leveraging his fluency in the language and to pursue acting opportunities there. He acted in several film projects, including "The Love Punch" with Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson. Other English-speaking films in which Jordan acted while in Europe were Killing Uncle Roman, In The Shadow, Dear Brother, and Wrong Tone. Shortly after returning to LA, Jordan was cast as Tony Stark in Marvel Universe Live, in which he performed in more than 300 shows across 40 US cities. He also began developing a web series, and as a writer, has several feature films in development with independent production companies. In his infrequent spare time, he enjoys indulging in playing video games and watching Japanese Anime.
