Justen Mahaffey

Hello all, My name is Justen and I’m an upper limb amputee, left hand below the elbow. I’ve noticed an increasing amount of representation of alternatively abled people in the films and shows I enjoy and would be honored to help continue that trend sans CGI. My entertainment experience is limited to acting in school productions and later working as a session vocalist and fronting a few SF Bay bands (blues/ reggae/ rock). I otherwise have worked in many different industries (hospitality, automotive repair, aerospace manufacturing, construction, car sales, software sales, IT support, etc.) and enjoyed learning about and becoming a part of those cultures so much that I’ve always thought being an actor would be a more efficient way of getting my kicks from becoming someone new, so to speak. I grew up in San Jose, California, but have lived in few states and Washington DC as I am married to a beautiful active duty Air Force staff sergeant. We have two young children, Jerome and Iris. I spend my spare time playing with the kids, collecting IT certifications, listening to fantasy and physics for dummies audiobooks, playing ice hockey, and upgrading the house. Thanks for your consideration and good luck with your production!
