Cody Steele
Cody Kilpatrick Steele was raised in Cleveland, Ohio by a long line of humble electricians. Steele always saw himself as an entertainer in his youth and fell deeply in love with the art of acting as he grew into adulthood. He trained formally at Cleveland State University, where he honed his craft with tools such as Chekov, Stanislavski, and Suzuki. While attending Cleveland State, Cody performed in The Dybbuk and Angels in America. Both roles received Irene Ryan Award Nominations from the American College Theatre Festival. His training focused on the stage but since 2015 Cody has found a home in the world of film. Steele is known for the feature films Sincerely, Me (2016) for which he won "Best Actor in a Feature" at the Hollywood Boulevard Film Festival, and Viscera (2020). Cody has also starred in numerous short films and commercials throughout the late 2010's and was named "Best Actor" by Cleveland's Scene Magazine in 2019. Although his presence on stage and screen is influenced by names such as James Dean, Jack Nicholson, and Heath Ledger, Cody insists that his most prominent influences in life are his treasured family and friends.
