Biography

Jordan Heron was born in 1959 in Ajax, Ontario, Canada to Diane Orser and Ken Heron, a Presbyterian minister. He currently lives with his wife, Stephanie, on their horse farm near Dunnville, Ontario, near the Niagara Region of Ontario.

Unlike most actors who are drawn to the profession early, Jordan has spent most of his career as an IT Project Manager and had little interest in acting until 2002 when he was cajoled by his daughter into joining a local amateur theatre troupe. He began taking on work as a background actor, and in 2013 made his screen debut in a named role as Seton in "Battle of Kings: Bannockburn".

Jordan's years as a medieval reenactor and his experience as a horseman have provided him with a unique skill set that includes jousting, sword fighting, mounted archery, and Morris dancing. Those skills, combined with his distinctive look and his talent and training as an actor, have made him much in demand for a broad range of roles in film, television, commercials, and live theatre.

In recent years, Jordan has branched into filmmaking. His first short film, "Not the End of the World", premiered at the Milton Film Festival in 2016, and he continues to develop new projects as a writer, director and producer.
