Jordan Tartakow is an actor drawn to characters with heart — the hopeful heroes, the underdogs, the ones who feel deeply and still choose courage.

 

He stars as the title character in "Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness", which climbed to #1 on Netflix’s children’s movie chart in 2022. The film, produced by Sony and nWave Pictures and showcased at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, introduced global audiences to a hero defined as much by vulnerability as adventure.

​

Jordan returns in "Chickenhare and the Secret of the Groundhog", releasing in the U.S. this year, continuing a character journey that balances comedy, action, and emotional sincerity.

 

Whether in animation, performance capture, or live action, Jordan brings emotional clarity, physical commitment, and a natural sense of play to every role. He is drawn to stories that allow characters to be brave and flawed at the same time — and he commits fully, building performances that are grounded, dynamic, and built to last.
