Cody Deal, a multifaceted and accomplished individual, embarked on his journey in the world of Hollywood with a notable appearance in the Syfy Original Movie, Almighty Thor, alongside the seasoned actors Richard Grieco and Patricia Velasquez, in the year 2011.
Born and raised in the quaint town of Sedan, Kansas, a small community boasting a population of approximately 1,000 residents, Cody spent his formative years surrounded by the rustic beauty of rural America.
During his childhood summers, Cody would often find himself working on a local ranch, diligently bucking hay to contribute to his family's livelihood, a labor of love that he would continue to perform from the 6th-grade until his senior year in high school, thereby developing a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for the importance of hard work and dedication.
Cody's academic trajectory was marked by exceptional achievement, as he emerged as the Valedictorian of his class, a testament to his unwavering dedication to academic excellence. Additionally, he held the esteemed position of Senior Class President, demonstrating his impressive leadership skills and ability to inspire and motivate his peers.

His impressive scoring average of 20.4 points per game served as a testament to his hard work, natural talent, and unwavering commitment to his craft.
Initially, Cody's aspirations lay in the realm of professional sports, with a keen focus on realizing his dreams on the court. However, a pair of sport-related injuries to his hand and forearm served as a stark reminder of the unpredictability and fragility of athletic pursuits. As a result, Cody was forced to reevaluate his goals, adopting a more nuanced and multifaceted approach to his future endeavors.
Cody, an individual with unwavering determination, redirected his attention towards the world of acting, enrolling in a limited yet intensive course of study in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. Under the guidance of the illustrious acting coach, Gerald Gordon, who had previously mentored the esteemed Oscar-winning actor, Adrien Brody, Cody embarked on a month-long journey of artistic refinement.
