Ford was born in Nashville, Tennessee. He enjoyed being in front of the camera which led to his start in the entertainment business. At age 4, Colin modeled for print ads for regional and national retailers. At age 5, Colin broke into film as Clinton Jr. in the feature film Sweet Home Alabama. He obtained more roles in independent films such as Moved, The Book of Jaene and When Harry Met Lloyd: Dumb and Dumberer. In 2004 Colin portrayed Matthew Steed in the movie The Work and the Glory. 2005 marked a whirlwind year that began with a high profile photo shoot with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for W Magazine. This was immediately followed by a trip to Vancouver with Tom Welling and the cast of Smallville. Following Smallville, Colin reprised his role as Matthew Steed in The Work and the Gory: American Zion. If that weren’t enough, Colin played a lead role, as Jackson Patch in The Dog Days of Summer, along with veteran actor Will Patton. Capping off a busy year, Ford was back in Vancouver, playing Zeph, the son of Jason Statham's and Claire Forlani's characters in the epic adventure, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, which was released in theaters January 2008. In addition to print, television and film, Colin also has a passion for voice work.
