Lincoln Allen Jolly, a talented individual born on July 12, 2005, in Slidell, Louisiana, USA, to Bondilyn Joy (Dutcher) and Ethan Jolly, is the youngest of two siblings, with his sister Peta Jolly. Growing up in a creative and artistic environment, surrounded by the unique culture of New Orleans, Lincoln was encouraged to explore his artistic side from a young age.
As a child, Lincoln discovered his passion for performing while participating in a children's musical theater production. His talent did not go unnoticed, and a family friend recommended that he meet with a mother agent preparing a group of children for an upcoming talent competition. Lincoln signed on for acting and modeling and went on to collect multiple first and second-place awards, beating out hundreds of other children from around the world.
The Jolly family decided to spend the spring of 2014 in Los Angeles, and Lincoln signed with both a manager and talent agent, working with various coaches to hone his skills. After committing to the summer of 2014 in Los Angeles, the family decided to permanently relocate to pursue Lincoln's dreams full-time. His first film was a short movie for Warner Brothers, entitled Eddie and the Aviator (2015),which was released in December 2015.
Lincoln is a passionate and caring individual who feels strongly about helping others and giving back to the community. Every year on his birthday, he selects a different charity and helps raise awareness, funds, and/or supplies as an educational experience for himself and his friends. As a young actor, his coaches and directors have likened him to a young Jared Leto or River Phoenix, and he aspires to work on a project with his favorite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, someday.
