Drake Rodger, an American actor, was born in Keokuk, Iowa, as the middle child of three siblings. His family's nomadic lifestyle, driven by his father's and mother's search for work, led them to move throughout the Midwest. At the age of fourteen, Rodger's family relocated to South Florida, where he spent the next five years engaging in sports and working as a lifeguard.
It was during this period that Rodger discovered his passion for the arts and began studying intently. His love for the arts only grew stronger as he delved deeper into his craft. At eighteen, Rodger landed his first supporting role in the feature film "Not Alone," which paved the way for another supporting role in "Murder RX" shot back-to-back in Florida.
A few months later, Rodger was cast in "Terra Beach." With three credits under his belt and an unwavering determination to pursue his dream, he packed up and moved to Los Angeles, where he secured representation and continued to hone his craft.
A few months later, Rodger landed his first lead role in the feature film "Mantra," playing a recovering alcoholic who relapses after his brother stands him up. During filming, Rodger was also cast as the lead in "Quiet In My Town" opposite Marc Blucas and Brian McNamara.
