Biography and recent work
Gordon is a story-teller. Like Pokémon’s Ash Ketchum, Gordon has “got to catch ‘em all” when it comes to creation. He is an actor, writer, producer, director, and artist. Born in Waterdown, based in Toronto.
Gordon has appeared in film and tv-shows including: The Testaments (Disney/Hulu), Doc (Sony Television/Fox), The Boys (Amazon Prime), Station 11 (HBO), Umbrella Academy (Netflix), Fellow Travellers (Showtime), Alice, Darling (Elevation Pictures), and Cross (Amazon Prime).
He wrote, produced, and acted in Apprenticeship, a short film about a tenacious young potter who strives for his teacher’s approval through relentless practice. The film toured festivals across North America and can now be found here.
Thrilled to be working in front of the camera, Gordon also yearns for live performance. Gordon writes and performs sketch comedy; his troupe The Banana Loafers had a sold out run at the 2026 Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival. When not writing, Gordon loves to improvise on stage and on mic (yes, he’s also a voice actor).
A life-long learner, Gordon tirelessly trains. He is a graduate from the University of Guelph’s Bachelor of Arts and Science program, and The Second City’s Sketch and Longform Conservatories.
Gordon adores wood-engraving (see That’s Casual Press), playing tennis, exploring dungeons in DND, and fawning over dogs while walking his two sweet canines (Fern and Maud).
