About

Cody Deal metformin hcl side effects played the lead role in The Asylum’s Almighty Thor, which premiered on Syfy, May 7, 2011, which was followed by an international video release May 10th and Blu-ray edition release May 24th. The film also stars Patricia Velasquez (The Mummy) as Thor’s love interest; WWE Wrestler Kevin Nash as Odin; and Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street) as Loki. Immediately following his superhero role in Almighty Thor, Cody switches sides to play the super villain, Mark HardOn, in the soon to be released Comedy/Action feature Superseeds, a film flowing in the vein of recent successes such as Superbad, Harold and Kumar, and Kick Ass.

Tall, blonde, and photogenic Cody’s back-story is interesting enough, even on the surface. Born on Valentine’s Day, 1986, and a member of the Osage Nation, a historic tribe of Native American people, he was raised in Sedan, KS (Pop: 1124) just 8 miles north of Osage County in Oklahoma. Cody, who stands at 6’3” was a 1st Team All-State athlete, high school class valedictorian and Senior Class President. According to his high school basketball coach, this was all while working till 11 PM after practice every night and weekends to help support his family. Cody and his two brothers were raised by a single mother in the small town, and Cody worked hauling hay on a local farm starting at the age of 13, while dreaming of a professional sports career in the NFL. While attending Butler College on a dual Football and Basketball scholarship, a pair of injuries cut his pro-sports career goals short.

The all-American story soon found Cody moving to Las Vegas to pursue a modeling career, with a stint as a Roman Centurion at Caesars Palace, appearing on The View, Today Show, and Criss Angel: Mindfreak. A short time later, he moved on to Los Angeles, where he has been fulfilling his dream to be an actor for the last two years, working while taking acting lessons, and trying out for every role that he could (including the leads in Conan: The Barbarian and Spartacus: Blood and Sand). In fact, his first audition in L.A. was for the mega-budgeted Marvel, Thor. His first film was a supporting role as Officer Salem who pulls over Amanda Righetti (The Mentalist) and Jonathan Bennett (Van Wilder: Freshman Year) in the film Cats Dancing on Jupiter. His other credits include roles in The Hangover and Get Him To The Greek. Finally landing the lead role, in a small budget film, with a few smaller roles here and there on the side would be something of a Hollywood success story in itself, better than most, and enough to cap the tale there; except for one thing.

Cody found an affinity for the web, early on in his days in the big city, and took to blogging about his adventures in weekly updates on his website. The posts go into far more than the superficial high points of a dream being played out in Hollywood by a 25 year old kid from a small town in Kansas. Cody writes honestly about how he found himself homeless and living in his car for a few months, so that he could afford (in terms of both time and dollars) to pursue acting classes. He details the heart wrenching day when his car was towed, because his tags were expired, and the complete and devastating loss that he felt at that point, but also about realizing at that moment just how much he actually had, and how much of himself he was willing to risk to obtain his ultimate goal.

Now with the recent premiere of Almighty Thor, and an upcoming recurring stint on Cinemax’s new cable series, A Girl’s Guide to Depravity, Cody is on the way to realizing his ultimate goal of being the youngest Academy Award winner for Best Actor, and is set to make his mark in Hollywood.

Cody’s story was recently picked up by the entertainment portal, MediaBlvd Magazine, which ran an in-depth feature on him before the airing of the Syfy film.

“Far more than the narcissistic journal of a would be actor, Cody Deal’s online diaries (hollywoodandbeyond.com) lay out the dreams and hopes of a young man with an all consuming goal to reach what he knows must be his destiny, and the small victories along the way. The narrative also documents the low points; crying himself to sleep at night during times when his own insecurities and life threatened to overwhelm him; learning about the death of a friend whom he had met soon after moving to town and who might have helped him along the way. And then comes a look into the deep desire to be able to inspire others with his success that he knows he will find, that stems from the absence of any one there and able to do that for him in his early life.

Writing with a raw passion, that gives a view into the soul of a dreamer, Deal displays his life as an open book for a few loyal online fans who have followed his pursuit of his dream (Though that fan base is growing exponentially with Cody’s efforts at evangelism for the Almighty Thor film). With almost a surreal intensity at times, the narrative seems spiritual in nature in some parts. At other times the naïve dreams of a young boy from a small town, who thinks he will succeed by will alone shine through, and then, almost seamlessly, the raw force of nature burning within is exposed, as he single handily approaches his dream full on. This film is the culmination of one phase of that dream, and the stepping stone to the larger picture. In all of this though, a complex young man with big dreams and a big heart shows through. Ultimately, Almighty Thor might not be seen by many, compared to its mainstream cousin. That’s almost to be expected given the budget, the shooting schedule and everything else about it. But again, that won’t be for lack of effort on the part of Cody Deal, and this might very well be that stepping stone; that first open gate to what becomes a much larger career.”

The Real Hollywood Story is a web based series starring actor Cody Deal in an intensely personal and poignant story as he reaches for his dream of becoming a Hollywood great. Filmed and edited by Cody himself, and produced and distributed online by MediaBlvd Productions, The Real Hollywood Story follows his day to day adventures while providing a unique opportunity for the fans of Cody to become a part of his life.

Deal is the Hollywood dream and the All American story embodied in a 6’3” chiseled package. Raised in a small Kansas town by a single mother, this star athlete, high school valedictorian, and registered member of the Osage Native American tribe had a dream to travel to the City of Angels to become a star, and embarked on that journey at the earliest opportunity. Two years in, and only a year after beginning auditions, his story is already one of remarkable success, landing parts in several films including starring in Almighty Thor, the horror film, Hallow Pointe, the action comedy Avery & Pete: Superseeds, and a recurring role on Cinemax’s upcoming series “Girl’s Guide to Depravity,” premiering Feb. 2012.

Said Deal: “I was told my whole life to think realistic, to live up to my peers, and to fit into the mold – don’t do anything different, be a carbon copy of what society wants. My series is breaking the mold and not always doing what’s easy – but doing what my heart tells me, and to show the world that our imaginations control our lives – I just keep imagining – and keep believing – with youthful innocent eyes – that anything is possible. It’s not filled with rebellious nonsense: drinking, sex, and drugs – fights and drama – it is filled with HEART. Life is meant to be lived, not to hide from. My series goes beyond the superficial high points of Hollywood and into the soul of our lives. I always wanted someone to show me that it’s okay to be me. I never found that person. So I hope by being me now, pulling away the masks, that it, someway/somehow gives the young Cody’s of the world an opportunity to just be themselves.”
