Jordan Charles

Biography

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. 2023-2024 sees him act in, write, and produce a crime saga called Brothers in Arms, an original cinematic story set in modern Los Angeles, which is contemplating feature film development. The project's initial short film earned a Best Cinematography Award and multiple film festival nominations, and saw Jordan earn a Best Actor nomination at Swedish International Film Festival. A multi-hyphenate creative, Jordan complements his acting with other production roles as screenwriter and producer. His first screenplay earned a quarterfinal placing at Creative Screenwriting's Expo Competition. He operates two film production companies where he collaborates alongside other emerging filmmakers to develop feature film content. A strong advocate of building community inside the profession and out, Jordan is active in industry advocacy for the arts, Screen Actors Guild Foundation programs, and has served on boards for environmental/sustainability causes. He is a long-standing SAG-AFTRA actor, and a member of Actors' Equity for stage acting.
