BIOGRAPHY/MISSION

Hello! My name is Jack Roden. I'm an actor out of New York City, originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee. I have studied musical theatre for the past few years at CAP21. When I'm not running around as a performer, I spend my time dog sitting, playing tennis, building computers, and taking photos for my portfolio. Although these are many of my hobbies, nothing has claimed my heart like acting and theatre, so please reach out. I would love to work together!

 

Why do I want to be an actor? I want to because I want to challenge the audience to ask themselves the same questions: Why does this moment make you cry? Why did a joke resonate so strongly? I’m not claiming to have all the answers; rather, I seek to learn and grow alongside the audience. My goal is to encourage everyone to both escape reality and reflect on themselves, regardless of the medium, and unify together for a couple of short hours and hopefully beyond. That’s the power of performance, and that is why I have fallen in love with it.
