Sean Gordon is an actor based in New York City.

He grew up under the glow of Friday night lights in Fairview, Texas, where—like many Southerners—sports were his first love. During that chapter of his life, Sean devoted himself to expanding his heart both on and off the field.

Then one day, he discovered theater—and everything changed.

Sean chose not to pursue a collegiate football career and instead attended Texas A&M University, where he earned a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and a double minor in Theater Arts and Mathematics. While at school, Sean joined a vibrant theater community and spent years training in different theatrical disciplines such as Shakespeare, Viewpoints, Laban, Mime, and Stage Combat.

Engineering kept Sean focused, but theater set him free.

After graduating, Sean briefly worked as an Enterprise Pre-Sales Engineer for Dell Technologies in the heart of New York City. That role helped him find his way to the city of his dreams. Then, in the middle of a global pandemic, Sean stopped bullshitting himself—and left that job to follow his heart.

Since then, Sean has worked on numerous projects that have led to his membership in both Actor’s Equity Association and SAG-AFTRA. He appeared on the sets of Billions and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, shortly before making his NYC stage debut in the world premiere of Richard Willett’s 9/10 at the Gene Frankel Theater (directed by Eliza Beckwith).

Most recently, Sean was nominated for Best Actor in the New York Theater Festival (2025) for his work in The Golden Ibburs (written by Cyndi Feinman; directed by Melinda Pinto). The play was also nominated for Best Production.

Sean continues to train with mentors such as Scott Freeman and Tony Greco.

When he’s not on stage, on set, or in rehearsal, you can find Sean exploring Manhattan’s parks with his four-legged best friend, Sunshine, or traveling the country to support his wonderful wife on the Munchkinland Tour of Wicked.
