Mitch Craft is an actor recognized for his roles in television series such as NCIS: New Orleans (2017), Murderous Affairs (2017), and Preacher (2017), as well as feature films including Are You From Dixie? (2018), directed by Art Arutyunyan, and Blaze (2018), directed by Ethan Hawke. Born on September 22, 1985, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, he is the son of Darla Ann Craft, an assistant Human Resources director, and Gary Woodrow Craft, a retired truck driver. Mitch attended Cape Central High School, excelling as a three-sport athlete in baseball, basketball, and football. He averaged a double-double for two seasons in basketball, earned all-conference honors in baseball, and was a two-year all-state quarterback in football. After high school, he played college football at Southern Miss, where he was named the starting middle linebacker before the 2006 season. Known for his athleticism, toughness, and aggressive playing style, Craft went on to play professional football for four years before retiring in 2014. His introduction to the film industry began as a background extra portraying a football player in the action-thriller Straw Dogs (2011), featuring James Marsden, Kate Bosworth, and James Woods. He then appeared as a featured extra in the low-budget film The Daisy Chain (2011), again as a football player. In 2016, Craft was cast as an undercover cop in Tish Hyman’s music video for "All That I Can Do." Following this, his career in film and television quickly gained momentum. Craft remains humble and grateful for every opportunity he receives. He currently lives in Lafayette, Louisiana, with his girlfriend, Anna, and their son, Landyn. He has two brothers, Lance and Ty, who were all-state athletes in baseball and football, respectively. Craft credits his grandmother, Mary Alice Davis of Sikeston, Missouri, as his biggest supporter.
