Biography

Lincoln Allen Jolly was born on the 12th of July 2005, in Slidell, LA, USA to Bondilyn Joy (Dutcher) and Ethan Jolly. The youngest of two children, Lincoln and his sister, Peta Jolly, were raised in a home full of creativity and artistic encouragement while being surrounded by the unique culture of life in New Orleans.

As a child living in Louisiana, Lincoln had the opportunity to participate in a children's musical theater production and it was then that he discovered his love of performing. A family friend took notice of Lincoln's talent and recommended that the family meet with a mother agent who was preparing a group of children for an upcoming talent competition. Lincoln signed on for acting and modeling and proceeded to "clean up", collecting multiple first and second place awards, beating out hundreds of other children from around the world.

The Jolly family was encouraged to spend the spring of 2014 in Los Angeles, which they did. Lincoln signed with both a manager and talent agent during this time and began working with several different coaches to hone his skills. After committing to the summer of 2014 in Los Angeles, the Jolly family decided to permanently relocate to the area to pursue Lincoln's dreams full-time. Lincoln's first film was a short movie for Warner Brothers entitled Eddie and the Aviator (2015) which was released in December of 2015.

A passionate and caring child, Lincoln feels strongly about helping others and giving back to the community. Every year on his birthday he selects a different charity and helps raise awareness, funds and / or much needed supplies as an educational experience for himself and his friends. As a young actor, his coaches and directors with whom he's worked have likened him to a young Jared Leto or River Phoenix. He is an enthusiastic and hard worker who aspires to work on a project with his favorite actor Leonardo DiCaprio someday.
