Jon Beavers
Jon Beavers is one of those actors you might recognize, even if you can’t quite put a finger on where you’ve seen him. California’s home now, but he grew up in Iowa City and then somehow ended up in high school out in Maui—yeah, Hawaii. Not a bad spot to start acting, honestly. He kicked off his creative hustle there, writing and acting, before the whole Hollywood thing came calling.
Look, the guy’s popped up in all sorts of places. If you’ve watched Hulu’s Paradise, he’s Agent Billy Pace—the guy going toe-to-toe with Sterling K. Brown. Pretty unforgettable performance, honestly. But he’s not just a TV dude. He’s got a spot in Kevin Costner’s epic, Horizon: An American Saga, as Junior Sykes. You know, the big brother of those Sykes boys everyone loves to hate.
TV-wise, Jon’s been all over the map. He’s done gritty drama on TNT’s Animal Kingdom, tackled Bel-Air on NBC, and even showed up in Nat Geo’s The Long Road Home (that miniseries got some real buzz, if you missed it). He’s not afraid of a little indie magic either. Remember Licorice Pizza? Yep, he’s in that Paul Thomas Anderson flick. He’s also in Soft & Quiet—Blumhouse’s wild social thriller—and even co-produced and starred in the indie romance The Only One.
Jon Beavers isn’t just another face in the crowd; dude’s got range and keeps showing up in places you least expect.
