CLAYTON B. HODGES hails from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and now makes his home in Santa Monica. At ten years old, little Clay Hodges auditioned for a local production of Pinnochio and the Fire Eater. After getting the lead of Pinnochio, he never looked back. Fast forward a few years and Clayton now works nationwide (and internationally) as an actor, producer and teacher. He has toured nationally with several shows, at last count completing 13,000 highway miles all over the US.

He was the lead-actor, producer, managing director and co-founder of Elite Fighting Crew. Together with his collaborators, this now-defunct production company was the North American liaison for a major European touring production, forged a partnership with London's Guinness-Award winning Finborough Theatre and was featured on a NPR special on the NYC theatre community response to 9/11.

He currently teaches acting and public speaking skills to a variety of ages, all over the U.S., making major stops in NYC, LA and San Francisco.

After years of stage work, he has decided to focus on film and television projects in Los Angeles. He loves Santa Monica and the laidback LA lifestyle. The traffic and smog not so much.
