Acting

Jordan Charles

Born in London, Ontario, Canada, to Italian parents, award-nominated actor Jordan Charles' passion for performance began early. In Canada, he started acting on stage in local Italian productions when he was a few years old. He was later theatrically cast as Matthew Cuthbert in Anne of Green Gables while only twelve years old, playing the elder father of the protagonist Anne. A multi-year Meisner graduate of the reputable Baron Brown Studio - School for the Dramatic Arts in Santa Monica, and the Margie Haber Studio in West Hollywood, CA, Jordan's commitment to acting and its craft sees him embody diverse, textured characters and ranging performance work in lead roles in independent and studio films. He is a prior Forty Under 40 recipient, and holds citizenship in each of the USA, Canada, and the European Union, which allows domestic and international opportunities across his acting and filmmaking goals. Concentrating on feature film acting, Jordan seeks challenges often against type. In early roles, he did so to capture the lead serial killer role in Friend (2009), an independent film directed by Curt Thackery which generated regional acclaim. His proclivity for complicated characters capable of wide range and emotion continued with his lead role in Makua Charley (2013), a film festival award-winning dramatic thriller centered on Hawaiian mythology. Jordan followed this with a bit part in Cameron Crowe's Aloha (2015), then played two different maligning lead characters in two divergent timelines in The Gunman (2016). He's proven the rare ability to play both hero or rogue, and brings unique layers and choices to every character. Roles in upcoming films continue his advance on notable projects.
