Jaxon Stanford was born and raised in St. Louis, MO, having lived there all his
life. He’s always had an extremely strong interest in acting and public speaking,
starting WAY back in elementary school! He first caught the acting bug when he
played the lead in “THE SWINGING PIED PIPER” in 6th grade elementary school.
After eight “singin’and swingin’ performances, he was hooked! From then on, he
took every chance to be involved in school productions, speech /debate, drama
courses, Pantomime, and Improv., all throughout Jr. High and High School. Jaxon
was always performing.
Wanting to continue his passion, Jaxon majored in Communications in College
with an emphasis in Public Speaking, Theatre and TV. Suddenly things came to
an abrupt halt. His parents prompted him to work for the family business, as
they felt earning a living as an actor or public speaker would be “about as difficult
as winning the lottery.” So the next 15 years were spent working for his father’s
business (a contracting company) and his own business (selling investments and
insurance at StateWide Financial Solutions). Several years ago, it hit him that
he would never pursue his passion and dream of being an actor or speaker if he
didn’t take ACTION now. So he started browsing the internet for auditions and
began finding small parts in films and commercials. It proved to be a very
rewarding search!
Since 2001, Jaxon has been involved in well over 100 film projects including
feature films, industrial films, educational films, infomercials, TV Commercials and
short films. A few highlights: playing a New York Press Photographer in the
Hollywood feature film “THE MIRACLE MATCH” starring Gerard Butler, Wes
Bentley, and Patrick Stewart, released in 2005 at theaters nation-wide; playing in
"MEET BILL" with Jessica Alba, Elizabeth Banks, Aaron Eckhart, and Kristen Wiig;
playing in "ALICE UPSIDE DOWN" with Penny Marshall, Luke Perry, Alyson Stoner,
and Lucas Grabeel; playing in "KINGSHIGHWAY" with Eric Roberts, Burt Young,
Edward Furlong, and Roma Maffia; playing in "THE LUCKY ONES" with Tim Robbins
and Rachel McAdams; playing in "EDGAR ALLAN POE'S LIGEIA" with Eric Roberts,
Michael Madsen, and Mackenzie Rosman; playing in "GHOST IMAGE" with Elisabeth
Röhm, Roma Maffia, and Stacey Dash; starring in the feature film "STASHED
AWAY: THE SILEX CODE" in 2008; also starring in the feature film “EZRA CRANE”
in 2008; starring roles in the feature films “QUEEN DOWN” and "KISSES AND
SWORDS" both entered into various film festivals; principal role in the feature film
“DEATH OF A HEALER"; appearances in many more feature films in lead, principal
or supporting roles (see resume); and appearances in many commercials in a
principal role. Jaxon also returned to theatre and took a principal role in the play
“PICNIC” by Flood Stage Productions in 2005 and he also took a principal role in
the play "ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST" by Act II Productions in 2006.
And he played the part of Felix in "THE ODD COUPLE" by Act II in 2007. It was
extremely satisfying and exciting to get back on stage in front of a live audience
once again!
Jaxon now has an agent that keeps him busy auditioning and getting more paid
work than ever! He has been Taft Hartley into the AFTRA union, and so far has
worked as a principal actor in more commercials in a principal role for National,
Local, and Regional commercial spots. He is currently working on a principal role
in the feature film “EZRA CRANE” and is also beginning to shoot a lead role in the
feature film "STASHED AWAY: THE SILEX CODE". His auditions for film work do
continue, and where they will lead….. nobody knows!
Jaxon continues to take Acting for the Camera classes whenever he can from Kim
Swanson, CSA at Hanson Entertainment; from Carrie Houk, CSA at HH studios;
from Scott-Arther Allen at the Creative Actors Workshop; and from Jay Kelley
Acting on Camera at Dream Welder Productions.
As a professional public speaker, Jaxon has traveled to high schools throughout
the mid-west to speak with up to 600 9th graders at a time about Making High
School Count. He enjoys giving out motivation and advice for these young
people who are preparing for their future and embarking on their own dreams.
Jaxon’s biggest fans are his three children (Natalie, Hillary and Chad). His favorite
movies are those that take you through many different emotional levels….like
“BRAVE HEART” or “MIDNIGHT EXPRESS” or “SCARFACE”. The actors whose
work he admires most include Mel Gibson, Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, and Sean
Penn, to name just a few.
Jaxon’s main goal is to eventually move to a vibrant entertainment area (like
Hollywood, Chicago, or New York) where he can pursue his acting dream full-time
and go on auditions constantly. He has thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of
working on the independent feature films: "EZRA CRANE", "ABBEY OF THELEMA",
"THANXGIVING: DEAD HARVEST", “KISSES AND SWORDS”, “QUEEN DOWN”,
"THE BABYSITTER", “DEATH OF A HEALER”, and "WRESTLING WOMEN vs THE
BRAINIAC" over the last few years and has learned so much from his fellow
colleagues. A big thanks to ALL for such fantastic experiences!!
