Cody Deal made his Hollywood debut by starring in the the Syfy Original Movie, Almighty Thor (2011), opposite Richard Grieco and Patricia Velasquez. Cody grew up in Sedan, Kansas (pop. 1,000) and worked on a local ranch every summer bucking hay to help support his family starting in the 6th-grade through his senior year in high school. He graduated Valedictorian of his class, as well as Senior Class President, and 1st-Team All-State shooting Forward averaging 20.4 points per game. He dreamt of playing professional sports, but his aspirations were cut short when he injured his hand and forearm in two different sport-related injuries. His aspirations turned to acting, heading to Las Vegas for a brief stint, and working with acting coach Gerald Gordon (who also coached Oscar-winner Adrien Brody. With a month of acting training, he traveled to Los Angeles to audition for the title role in Marvel's Thor (2011). It was literally his first audition in LA. Three months later, he packed his bags and moved to Los Angeles from Vegas. 18 months later he would book his first starring role as the same character, but in the film Almighty Thor (2011). He has since studied with Ivana Chubbuck, Sharon Chatten, and Janet Alhanti. Cody is also Osage, a historic tribe of Native American people. Today there are as few as 13,000 Osage, Deal and his family being amongst them. Hide
