Rik Gordon

Rik Gordon—man, where do you even start with this guy? He’s one of those indie film folks who just keeps popping up in stuff you don’t expect, and somehow every time he’s on screen, things get a little weird, in a good way. So, 2015 rolls around and boom, there’s “The Pigman.” Creepy, atmospheric, and honestly, it sticks with you after the credits roll. Gordon’s got this knack for making his characters feel like people you’d maybe cross the street to avoid, but also can’t help but watch. Then he’s in “The Wake” (2017), which, let’s be real, is no walk in the park either. That one’s all moody vibes and tension, and Rik fits right into that world—like he was born for suspense and a little touch of madness. And then, “Pure Gold” in 2019—switching things up, but still doing his thing, you know? He doesn’t chase the spotlight, but somehow it always finds him. Whether he’s the lead or just lurking at the edge of the scene, he’s got this energy that makes you wonder what’s really going on beneath the surface. Not everyone’s heard his name, but if you’ve caught any of these films, you’ll remember his face. He’s not your typical Hollywood type—he’s more like the guy you recognize from that wild movie your friend made you watch at midnight, and now you can’t stop thinking about it.
