Jordan Leigh has been acting, singing, dancing, and rockin’ out so long, he has no recollection otherwise. He’s pretty sure he played sports and did school projects and stuff too, but it’s all a bit hazy. He currently works as a stage actor, film actor, voice actor, rock band front man, and acting teacher for the young-uns and a voice-over teacher for adults in Denver, Colorado after relocating from Los Angeles in ’97 and never looking back (well, he looked back once, but couldn’t actually see L.A. through the smog). After graduating magna cum laude from UCLA’s renowned School of Theatre, Film & Television where he was also a two-time recipient of the Carol Burnett Musical Comedy Award and co-founder of the award-winning Buffalo Nights Theatre Company, he sorta snapped while stuck in gridlock traffic on the 405 South one day and decided he needed to go to Europe. Fast forward six months and he was riding a mile high in Denver after returning from his European jaunt and realizing that yes, he could indeed make his living in this glorious city with only his talent and his wits. Since then, he has been honored with the milestone of starring in the longest-running production in Colorado history, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change at the Tony Award-winning Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The show logged 1731 performances over its 4 year run and played to almost 300,000 people. Somehow he made it from show 1 to show 1731 intact. In the midst of that hubbub, he narrated Warren Miller’s Global Adventures TV series for Outdoor Life Network, appeared in numerous national television commercials, and recorded the voiceover for hundreds of others. Just when he thought his tenure in his beloved home town might come to an end, he found himself cast out of thousands in the most unlikely landing spot- a reality show for Animal Planet called, My New Wild Life. Although not an acting role, his on-screen charisma won the day and he found himself living and working on a wild animal sanctuary in Texas for seven weeks while having his every move filmed. The rewarding experience fulfilled his life-long love of animals and the show aired in the summer of 2008 to wide acclaim. Fast forward one final time to the present where he fronts the band, Torsion and is currently writing a show tentatively titled Theatripunk!, a rocked-out version of traditional musical theatre classics. He also continues to make films with his cohorts at the production group he co-founded, Cinema Geeks. Thus far, they’ve won two best film awards at the Boulder 24-Hour Film Festival, Best Film at the 48 Hour Filmmaking Project (Best Actor) and their short film, Ba Nache dol Fonn Baeo, recently premiered at the 2010 STARZ Denver International Film Festival. He’s currently starring in the Denver premiere of the off-Broadway hit, Five Course Love at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts . |
