- Actor Jordon Hodges, best-known for playing Noah Daly in the award-winning Sand Castles (2014), was born in Goshen, Indiana on March 2, 1987.
Jordon's interest in acting came while studying Fine Arts at Indiana University of South Bend (IUSB). During his sophomore year he enrolled in 'Acting I: Fundamentals of Acting' as it was the only class that would fit his schedule to remain a full-time student and still receive financial aid. His first audition experience was a class requirement for a local play; he booked the role. After the run of the play he dropped out of college to train as an actor in Chicago. He landed his first feature role in the indie college comedy Fraternity House (2008).
Hodges got more serious about acting in 2010 when he moved to Los Angeles. He quickly gained attention for his versatility in two back-to-back lead roles in Impulse Black (2011) and the early 1900's period feature Mary's Buttons (2012), which landed him festival acclaim and his first actor nomination.
Hodges came on the indie map when he produced and penned the screenplay for the future multiple award-winning Sand Castles (2014), starring him in the lead role.
Next he stars as Jack Ables in The Shade Shepherd (2019) from a screenplay he drafted with frequent collaborator Chris Faulisi.
Hodges can also be seen in Decomposed (2009), American Scream King (2010), and Deadly Karma (2011).- IMDb Mini Biography By: DVD
