Jordan Walker Ross

Born: 1990-02-08 • Arlington, Texas, USA

Jordan Walker Ross is an actor, screenwriter and producer. Jordan began acting at the age of 6, playing Tiny Tim in a community theater production of 'A Christmas Carol'. After that, Jordan performed in over 40 professional productions throughout Texas, as well as California. In his teens, Jordan shifted gears and began focusing on film/television, going on to appear in 'Walker Texas Ranger', Comedy Central's 'Reno 911', Nickelodeon’s 'Just Jordan' and several independent films.

In 2018, Jordan Walker Ross was cast in season 1 of 'The Chosen', in the role of Little James. The series is now in production season 5 (of 7 planned seasons) and has garnered over 250 million viewers worldwide. The success of The Chosen has led to other projects for Jordan, such as '1883' - the prequel to Paramount’s 'Yellowstone', 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and the upcoming film 'Rise & Shine', based on the book, ‘Remembering Terri’. Jordan Ross is also a screenwriter with several projects in various stages of development, as well as a host for his podcast, 'What's Your Limp?'.

Jordan Walker Ross was born two months premature, which led to Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis. Jordan underwent over half a dozen major surgeries before the age of 10, as well as countless hospital stays due to severe asthma. His disabilities presented some issues as an actor. Jordan lost out on roles because his limp was too noticeable and even cut out/replaced from projects for the same reason.

On top of that, Jordan experienced vicious bullying in high school. However, it was his love for acting that motivated Jordan to keep pushing forward. Now, playing a character with a disability on 'The Chosen', Jordan is using his platform to educate others on disabilities, bullying & mental health. Jordan travels to schools, churches and other events to promote his message of vulnerability and self-acceptance.
