	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Cody Deal, born February 14, 1986 in Norman, Oklahoma, USA, is an American actor and model.

Deal grew up a midwestern farm boy hauling bails of hay on a ranch to help support his family until 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 for the Blue Devils' Basketball Team.

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). He eventually jumped to Los Angeles to give his career a serious shot.

Deal started booking work immediately, adding direct-to-video films such as Cat's Jumping on Jupiter (2011) and Pete & Avery: Superseeds (2011) to his resume. In December of 2010, he was cast in the the title role as Thor in Almighty Thor (2011), starring opposite Richard Grieco.

Deal's other weekly gig in Vegas was modeling for the Chippendales doing photo-ops for them on the Las Vegas Strip to promote the show. His Roman Soldier gig at Caesar's Palace put him on sets of The Hangover, The View, The Today Show, Laffapalooza! 2008, Funniest Movies of the Year: 2008, and The Travel Channel.
