About Jordan Dash Cruz
Jordan Dash Cruz is actor and director in both the LA and TX hub. Originally hailing from the ole Sunshine State of Florida, Jordan loves: his wife, long walks on the beach, most 90s sitcoms, and pineapple on pizza. He also loves to act. So much so, he’s been doing it for over a decade! Directing is also something he enjoys! There’s something beautiful about everyone working together as a team and creating something wonderful! When he’s not working tirelessly at overthinking the “perfect read”, you can find him playing video games, hanging out with his wife, chillin with his cats, watching baseball (Go Mariners and Rays!) and/or admiring Ralph Macchio’s beautiful Crane kick in “The Karate Kid”!
