Jordan Frank: From ‘Too Hot to Handle’ to Vertical Dramas

Many people who want to become entertainers get their start on reality television. Jordan Frank made his debut on the popular Netflix show but has now transitioned into the new, exciting world of micro-dramas.

Being a movie or television star used to seem like an impossible field to enter, particularly in Hollywood. Nowadays, however, social media and other online platforms are launching the careers of many new talents.

Jordan Frank rose to the spotlight as one of the beautiful people on the sixth season of “Too Hot to Handle.” Now, he’s in an entirely different part of the industry as the leading male character of more than ten vertical dramas already. 

Getting to Know Jordan Frank

Born in Texas in 2002, the 5’11” actor decided to leave the popular reality show during the fourth episode of the season when his romantic interest chose someone else. 

He took this rejection to heart, saying, “I fall too hard for people and when I fall too hard, you know, I get upset. And what I’m looking for isn’t here. The retreat pushed me to my limit. I got too emotional, I broke.”

Although he didn’t find what he was looking for on the Netflix retreat, Frank got enough visibility and now has over 70,000 followers on Instagram as of this writing, as well as a rising acting career. 

According to his social media bio, he has deals with modeling companies Wilhelmina Los Angeles and Wilhelmina Miami. 

He also signed with Eris Talent Agency, which isn’t surprising considering his good looks. With a full head of wavy brown locks and mesmerizing blue eyes, Frank’s photos can gather thousands of likes.

While he has many professional pictures uploaded, a huge part of his Instagram focuses on his passion for surfing. He has ridden the waves in cities all over the country, including Oahu, Hawaii, San Diego, Tampa, and more. 

Aside from surfing, Frank is a model who has walked several runways, like 2023’s Fashion Week in El Paseo. Before “Too Hot to Handle,” he even appeared in the music video for Jennifer Lopez’s “Can’t Get Enough.”

Not everything is professional, though, as he has shots with his friends, going to concerts, and hanging out being playful, as well as images from his travels around the world, including Japan and Australia. 

Jordan Frank’s Acting

Frank became interested in acting and singing while attending All Saints Episcopal School. He was also involved in plays and local theater in his hometown, which led him to pursue acting. 

Now, he resides in Los Angeles, and his first vertical drama role was in “Straight A Pregnancy.” In this story, Frank plays Ben, a frat boy, who has a one-night stand with Kelsey, a top student, during a party. A few weeks later, she discovers she’s pregnant. 

She debates how to tell him many times, especially because he seems to be avoiding her and showing interest in someone else. But eventually, a mean girl will reveal her secret. What will Ben do?

The actor is also in “My Ex-Wife Is a Superwoman.” In this story, Olivia gets framed by her husband, who accuses her of having an affair with his uncle Charles, played by Frank. He does this to finally leave her for his mistress, who can give him investment money. 

However, her ex-husband had no idea that she was the daughter of the richest man in the world. She decides to get revenge against her ex while also falling for Charles. 

Another option is “Baby, Please Don’t Marry Him.” Frank plays Justin, a regular man who is in love with Gloria, an heiress. No one knows they’re together, and eventually, they decide not to get married until Justin becomes wealthy. 

While he goes abroad for his studies, Gloria’s family falls into poverty, and Justin’s mother forbids Gloria from telling him and ruining his future.

Eventually, Gloria decides to fully end things with him, lying that it’s because of his finances. Years later, Justin returns as a wealthy CEO and wants revenge for what Gloria, now a maid, did to him. 

He secretly arranges for her to marry his nephew, leveraging her mother’s medical bills against her. But what will happen when Justin reveals himself and finds out what really led to their breakup? 

“Objection! The Legal Queen in Charge Now” is another great drama. Frank stars as Will Caprio, the CEO of Caprio Group, who has always had a thing for Ellie Spears. 

Ellie is secretly the founder of Spark Law and CEO of Sereal Group, and she has always supported her husband, George Lenny, also an attorney. After getting pregnant and with George being on the verge of a promotion, she plans to finally tell him the truth and even give him half her shares of Sereal. 

However, her husband and his mistress frame her and take credit for her work, leading to a miscarriage.  Later, Ellie returns with the help of Will to get revenge against her husband for everything he did.
