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 his instructors once they saw he was serious about becoming an actor.Jordan didn't see the purpose in school as he knew at a young age that a formal education didn't equate to a successful career as an Actor in Hollywood, however, he cherished the opportunity to learn and often enjoyed reading books about acting, philosophy, spirituality 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. In his infrequent spare time, he enjoys indulging in playing video games and watching Japanese Anime. Show less «

I have my father's passion for the craft, and my mother's coordination as a dancer, my father's strength and speed, my mother's flexibility and endurance. I have both of their minds. They don't censor their feelings and that's truly influenced me. They're my best friends and I love them with all my heart. Show less «

In 2012, I had the honor of working with Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson in "THE LOVE PUNCH", directed by Joel Hopkins in Paris, France. About a decade earlier, shortly after moving to LA I bumped into Pierce at a bookstore while shopping with my mother and father. I had no idea Pierce was behind me when I said to my Father, "Pop, my heart really hurts." Immediately after that a hand touched my right shoulder and I heard, "Well you're in the right place, Son." I turned around and there stood my favorite 007, Mr. Brosnan, staring me right in the face. One of my inspirations as a child was in the same store as me! My parents insisted I speak to him, so I drew up the courage and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Brosnan - would you mind if I speak to you for a little bit? I'm an aspiring actor from Indiana, and I was wondering if you would give me some advice?" He said, "Oh, a James Dean boy. Sure, I don't see why not. My son is getting a haircut and I was about to get a coffee." Next thing, my mom and dad go to get us coffee and I listened to the knowledge, experience, and wisdom of an actor I had dreamed of and of working with. Of all he said to me the one thing I held onto the most was this statement, "No matter where you go in this world; if you keep pursuing and working your craft, Hollywood has to notice you." About ten years later I was in Paris working with him and recalled the story of our meeting. He remembered. Show less «

I daydreamed constantly as a child. It was my escape. I'd imagine what the future would be like and I'd imagine how I wanted my life to be. I understood that life was more than what we were taught. As much as I would try to speak about it everyone would look at me strangely. It's not every day you hear a child philosophize about the meaning of life, death, and the universe. Show less «

On Saturdays and Sundays my entire family would meet at my grandparents and we would spend the day and evening with each other. I would play pretend with my older sister and cousin. My cousin was really my first acting partner in my eyes. Playing pretend really inspired me, and made me fall in love with acting. I thought, 'This is so much fun; I don't ever want this to end.'

Life can end at any moment, so don't hold on to anything. Don't be blinded by how the world wants you to view the world. You already innately know inside you what needs to be done, and if you don't, it will eventually come. In the meantime, breath, smile, and be grateful you're alive. Show less «
