Who is Isaiah Stannard?
Isaiah ‘Izzy’ Stannard was born in New York, USA, on 1 October 2004 – his zodiac sign is Libra and he holds American nationality. He is an actor, who is perhaps best known for having portrayed two lead characters – Sadie Marks and Ben Marks – in the comedy crime drama series “Good Girls” created by Jenna Bans, and which also starred Christina Hendricks, Retta and May Whitman.
It has been airing since 2018, and follows three mothers who decide to turn their lives around after feeling they are losing their power – the series won Christina Hendricks a Satellite Award nomination for Best Actress in a Series, Comedy or Musical.
Early life, parents and education
Isaiah was raised in New York as an only child, by his father Eric Stannard who is working at Springer as a senior editor, and his mother Kristin Johansen who is an actress, singer and a dancer. His parents divorced when he was eight years old, and his mother is today in a relationship with Warren Marsh who is a personal trainer and a professional massage therapist.
Isaiah became interested in acting while attending elementary school, as he was a member of the school’s drama club, and appeared in most of the plays performed there. His mother also often took him to her movie sets, and they occasionally watched plays at a local theatre. Isaiah is also physically active, as he started playing both tennis and soccer upon enrolling at a high school, but he doesn’t seem to be talented enough to play for the school’s teams – he should be matriculating in 2022, and it appears as Isaiah won’t be pursuing a college degree, but will rather be focusing on his career as an actor.
Career as an actor
He has only so far been credited with four other roles besides in “Good Girls”. Isaiah’s first credit was in 2015, when he voiced Child Carl in the short biographical drama film “Star Stuff: The Story of Carl Sagan”, written and directed by Ratimir Rakuljic, and which also starred Domagoj Culina and Ozren Muic. The story follows a boy who is interested in the sky and the stars, and is based on the life of Carl Sagan who was an American astronomer, cosmologist, and astrophysicist among many other things.
In 2017, Isaiah played Tween One in the musical comedy film “Brad’s Status”, written and directed by Mike White, and which starred the famous actor and comedian Ben Stiller, Austin Abrams and Jenna Fischer. It follows a man who, after taking his son to check out colleges on the East Coast, runs into a friend who makes him feel bad about the choices he has made in life – the movie won one award and was nominated for two others. Later in 2017, Isaiah starred as Harper Klein in the short drama film “Party Dress”, which was written and directed by Molly Fisher and also starred Alexandra Girellini and Jane Shearin – it follows a boy who is attending a birthday party wearing a pink dress.
Isaiah’s most recent credit has been in the short film “5 Teenagers Walk Into a Bar”, which has recently been finished and should be released in late 2020.
He has also appeared in the TV special “88th Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade” in 2019.
Gender and love life
Isaiah was born as a girl but after he portrayed Ben in “Good Girls” who was born as a girl but then chose to act as a boy, Isaiah decided that he also wants to be a boy and thus started dressing up as male, and asked his closest friends and family to refer to him as ‘he’ and ‘him’.
He hasn’t talked about any boys (or girls) he might have dated, but has been seen spending time with various girls, and his Instagram account is filled with pictures that feature him and his friends – there are rumors circulating the internet that he might be seriously dating a mysterious girl, as some of his fans claimed to have seen the two walking in the streets holding hands, but Isaiah hasn’t commented on this.
As of October 2020, he is single, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.
Hobbies and other interests
Isaiah’s main hobby is travelling, and he has been to several US states for both work and pleasure, while he has also been to Europe on a couple of occasions, staying in London in England, Paris in France and Venice in Italy. In early 2019, he traveled to Bangkok in Thailand which has since become his dream travel destination.
He prefers summer over other seasons as he enjoys sun tanning, swimming in the ocean and going snorkeling.
Isaiah spends most of his free time with his family as they are very close, and he loves them even more because they have accepted him for who he is.
He has his own favorite actors and actresses, some of whom are Channing Tatum, Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, and a few of his favorite movies are “Dear John”, “Taxi Driver” and “One Day”.
