Jordan Abbey-Young

Notes

Jordan grew up in Forsayth, a small town in the Gulf of Carpentaria of Far North QLD where his family own and run cattle stations. From age four, after watching Mel Gibson in 'Bird on a Wire' (1990), Jordan always knew he wanted to be an Actor and enjoyed entertaining. In order to create opportunities to perform Jordan slowly taught himself to edit and became the unofficial local videographer, often creating DVD productions of local events and his own mockumentries. In 2016 Jordan created the character 'Seca Bush-Jones', a comedic bush larrikin who kick-started the now well known 'Angry Christmas Productions' Facebook page. The page boasts upward of 150,000 followers and offers an ever growing catalogue of original and popular sketch videos that have been viewed millions of times. In order to pursue a professional career in Acting, Jordan loaded up his dog Leo and ute and made the 2000km journey to the Gold Coast where he has lived since July 2016. He completed a diploma in screen acting at the New York Film Academy over a one year course, graduating in 2017. He has gone on to work on a number of projects, ranging from short films, theater, and features films - most notably 'Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan'. Jordan regularly works in the entertainment department at Dreamworld, Australia. Performing a variety of roles in The Bushranger Show, presenting The Australian Sheep Shearing Show along with suit character work and an array of in-park improvisation driven characters. Jordan tries to bring the down to earth values of being a country boy whilst striving to prove he's a capable performer who works hard and isn't afraid to have a go. Chase your dreams, your car might just be fast enough. SHOWREEL -https://vimeo.com/709072719
