Jacob Lofland was born in Arkansas in July 1996, and made his film debut at 15 years old in the 2012 thriller adventure Mud starring Matthew McConaughey<\/span><\/a> and Tye Sheridan. Per L\u2019Officiel, Lofland first came across the role after seeing an open casting call in a newspaper and quickly realised he fit every description of his character, Neckbone. Soon after he took a flight to Austin, Texas, for the audition and was offered the role within 24 hours. He received a Robert Altman Award for the role and a best ensemble award alongside the rest of the cast at the Film Independent Spirit Awards.<\/div>\n

On falling in love with acting after Mud, Lofland said this year in an interview with Cowboys & Indians, a magazine about Western culture: \u201cMy first film festival ever was Cannes, and the first question I ever answered about a film was there \u2013 so it was kind of a crazy experience. I really had nothing to compare it to. From there, I realised how fun acting could be, and I just kept pursuing it.<\/p>\n

Like his on-screen character, his father worked in oilfields<\/strong><\/h3>\n
