Born in Toronto, Canada, Gordon's early life took a significant turn when his family relocated to Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was during his formative years in this picturesque coastal city that Gordon's innate talent for comedy began to flourish, earning him the reputation as the class clown among his peers.
As he navigated the challenges of growing up, Gordon's natural ability to make others laugh, often at the expense of his teachers, hinted at a potential career in the entertainment industry. This inclination was further solidified when he landed his first professional role on the popular Canadian television series "Street Cents," which was filmed in his hometown of Halifax.
The experience of working on "Street Cents" not only validated Gordon's aspirations but also instilled in him the confidence to take the next step in his career. He made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles with his father, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
Once in Los Angeles, Gordon's talent and determination quickly paid off, as he secured a national footwear commercial alongside the legendary basketball player Charles Barkley. This breakthrough role was followed by appearances in the films "Sliders" and "American History X," cementing his status as a rising star in the entertainment industry.
