Jordan Ross is also a screenwriter with several projects in various stages of development, as well as a host for his podcast, 'What's Your Limp?'. Jordan Walker Ross was born two months premature, which led to Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis. Jordan underwent over half a dozen major surgeries before the age of 10, as well as countless hospital stays due to severe asthma. His disabilities presented some issues as an actor. Jordan lost out on roles because his limp was too noticeable and even cut out/replaced from projects for the same reason. On top of that, Jordan experienced vicious bullying in high school. However, it was his love for acting that motivated Jordan to keep pushing forward. Now, playing a character with a disability on 'The Chosen', Jordan is using his platform to educate others on disabilities, bullying & mental health. Jordan travels to schools, churches and other events to promote his message of vulnerability and self-acceptance.
