Cody Mayo: Actor, Entrepreneur, Coach and Dad

In this episode

Some people have big dreams, but don’t work to make them happen. Cody Mayo is not one of those people. His dream of becoming an actor began at a young age. Following high school, he earned an acting scholarship to The University of Oklahoma, where he attended college and met his wife, Casey. After graduating from college, they got married and shortly thereafter moved to Los Angeles. It didn’t take long for Cody to jump right into auditions and casting calls. Although there were plenty of rejections along the way, he preserved, and eventually gained numerous acting jobs while learning the in’s and out’s of the industry. After a decade of building a career and a family in Los Angeles, Cody and his wife felt a pull to be closer to their own families in Oklahoma and Texas and relocated back to the Sooner State. Another big draw in their return was the explosive growth of the film industry while they were away; creating additional opportunities in the industry. Cody’s newest endeavor is founding Cody Mayo Studios on Studio Row in Tulsa. As a certified coach, he offers his talent and expertise by providing high level acting classes for film and tv, as well as personal coaching and workshops for kids, teens and adults.
