About

Judah McFadden is an American actor and filmmaker, born in Detroit, Michigan. He is the fifth of six children, with four older sisters and a younger brother, and was raised in Colorado. He attended Colorado State University, where he was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, before relocating to New York City in 2011 to study acting at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.

McFadden’s screen career spans a range of independent and festival-acclaimed films. He starred in the short film The Bench and in Alibi, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival’s Short Film Corner. His additional credits include the World War I epic The Great War and Lovers, a deeply personal project in which he had the unique opportunity to work under the direction of his sister, Taylor McFadden, in her debut feature.

Most recently, McFadden stars in A Winter’s Song, the first romantic comedy ever filmed in Armenia, set for release in 2026. He also appears as the younger version of Al Pacino’s character in Billy Knight, scheduled to be released later this year.

In addition to acting, McFadden is a writer with multiple original screenplays—currently optioned and in active packaging—that he is attached to star in.
