About

Jordan Goodsell is a New York–based actor, director, and singer whose work lives at the intersection of truth, discipline, and creative risk. With over a decade of professional experience across theater, film, and live performance, he brings precision, heart, and originality to every room he enters.

Raised in Southern California, Jordan’s creative instincts were shaped early by his grandmother — a dynamic voice teacher and arts educator — and his father, a former athlete turned high-performing business leader and coach. His upbringing balanced discipline with imagination, grit with humor — qualities that continue to define his work. Somewhere between rehearsals and rebounds, a storyteller was born.

Jordan earned his BFA in Theatre Performance from Chapman University and completed The American Theatre Wing’s SpringboardNYC program before moving to New York. Since then, he has built a multifaceted career: making his feature film debut in A Complete Unknown (dir. James Mangold), performing in the world premiere of Frozen Live at Disney California Adventure, and touring nationally with Under the Streetlamp, where he also serves as a vocal arranger and music director.

As a director, Jordan is bold, collaborative, and endlessly curious. He is the co-founder of GooLay Productions, where he develops original theatrical work with immersive, site-specific ambitions — including This Purple Fucking Pot, a satirical workplace comedy about branding, baby bottle pops, and late-stage capitalism.

Whether performing on a regional stage, arranging harmonies on the road, or directing new work from the ground up, Jordan approaches every project with rigor, generosity, and a deep love of process. He is actively working toward his next chapter — one that includes Broadway, major screen roles, and continued creative expansion.

He is based in New York City and represented by Firestarter Entertainment.
