[edit] Biography
Bayne's career started in 1996 with Showtime's Poltergeist: The Legacy; she appeared in two episodes of the TV series.[1] She next appeared in A Stranger in the Kingdom with Ernie Hudson and made 1998 guest appearances on the TV shows Law & Order and Silk Stalkings.[1] Bayne starred in the 2000 independent film Under Hellgate Bridge with Dominic Chianese and Vincent Pastore.[1] Although director Michael Sergio described Jordan as "a brilliant little actress"[2], she got the part only after better-known actor Ashley Judd turned down the role.[3] In 2002, Bayne was reportedly up for the lead role in the long anticipated, as yet still unproduced Wonder Woman movie,[4] though there was no formal casting process underway.[5] Her subsequent film roles included Mercy of the Sea with Martin Sheen in 2003.[1]
Bayne's debut as a writer/director came with the 1996 short Argo, starring Jordana Spiro. Columnist Daniele Ferraro said of the film, "It is so refreshing to see a first time, writer, director, producer just let life unfold in front of us. Argo feels like visual poetry. Jordan's film is honest and her director's hand is invisible. She digs deeper, looking for the voice in our humanity."[6] Argo played the festival circuit screening at the Napa/Sonoma Film Festival, NewFilmMakers, Soho House and Sedona Film Festival among others.[7]
Bayne is currently in pre-production on her next short film, The Sea Is All I Know, with Melissa Leo.[6]
