Early Life
Aldis Alexander Basil Hodge was born on September 20, 1986, in Onslow County, North Carolina. His parents, Aldis Basil Hodge and Yolette Evangeline Richardson, both served in the United States Marine Corps. Hodge spent his childhood years in North Carolina, New York City and New Jersey.
He grew up alongside his older brother Edwin Hodge, who also became an actor, and a younger sister, Brianna. From a young age, Hodge showed artistic talents beyond acting — he played both the clarinet and the violin, later buying his own violin at 18. He studied at the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, and developed a serious interest in visual arts, painting, writing, and mechanical watch design, eventually launching his own watch-design work.
Hodge started acting as a child in the 1990s, appearing in films including Die Hard with a Vengeance alongside his brother Edwin.
Acting Career
Hodge's breakthrough came with the role of Alec Hardison, the eccentric computer hacker on TNT's crime drama Leverage, which he played from 2008 to 2012, earning a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor on Television.
He followed with a string of acclaimed film roles:
- Noah in WGN's Underground (2016–2017), the historical drama about the Underground Railroad
- Levi Jackson in Hidden Figures (2016), the biographical drama about NASA's Black women mathematicians
- Jim Brown in One Night in Miami… (2020), Regina King's directorial debut
- Hawkman (Carter Hall) in Black Adam (2022), the DC superhero film starring Dwayne Johnson
- Detective Alex Cross in Cross (2024–present), the Prime Video crime series based on James Patterson's novels
His earlier screen work includes playing MC Ren in Straight Outta Compton (2015), Captain Anthony Espin in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) alongside Tom Cruise, the title role in the true-story drama Brian Banks (2018), Decourcy Ward in Showtime's City on a Hill (2019–2022), James Lanier in The Invisible Man (2020), plus earlier TV work on Friday Night Lights, Supernatural, Girlfriends, Castle and Turn: Washington's Spies. He reprised Alec Hardison for the Leverage revival Leverage: Redemption (2021), and appeared in the 2024 indies Marmalade and Parallel — the latter of which he also co-wrote and co-produced — along with voicing John Stewart/Green Lantern in the animated Green Lantern: Beware My Power (2022) and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths (2024).
Recent and Upcoming Work
Hodge's career has continued to accelerate. He headlined the 2025 thriller The Dutchman, based on Amiri Baraka's play, which premiered at SXSW and co-stars André Holland, Zazie Beetz, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Kate Mara; it began streaming on Paramount+ on July 1, 2026, according to Collider. Critics gave the film a positive reception following its SXSW premiere.
Cross has become his flagship role. The eight-episode second season premiered on February 11, 2026 on Prime Video, launching with the first three episodes and releasing weekly through the finale on March 18, 2026. The first season had generated more than 40 million viewers globally in its first 20 days, per Prime Video. Season Two follows Alex Cross as he hunts a ruthless vigilante targeting corrupt billionaire magnates, with new cast members Matthew Lillard, Jeanine Mason and Wes Chatham joining returning stars Isaiah Mustafa, Alona Tal and others. On the day of the Season 2 finale, Amazon announced the series was renewed for a third season, and Collider later reported that Ron Perlman had joined the Season 3 cast.
On the film side, Hodge joined the cast of Road House 2 (announced September 2025), the sequel to Amazon MGM's record-breaking 2024 reboot starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Principal photography began in October 2025 across the United Kingdom, Malta and Savannah, Georgia, with Ilya Naishuller directing after Guy Ritchie exited the project. The cast includes Dave Bautista, Leila George, Peter Sarsgaard and Iko Uwais, and the film is expected in late 2026 or early 2027, according to CBR.
In October 2026, Deadline reported that Hodge was cast opposite Wunmi Mosaku in the Orion Pictures/Amazon MGM Studios thriller One Night Out, directed by George Tillman Jr. The film centers on a married couple whose rare date night goes horribly wrong when a nanny-cam view of their house turns into a race to save their three children. It will stream on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories upon release, though no release date has been announced.
Watch Design and Other Creative Work
Beyond acting, Hodge is a serious horologist. He designs luxury mechanical watches through his own brand, A. Hodge Atelier, a passion for engineering and craftsmanship that is unusual among Hollywood actors. He has been appointed a member and trustee of the Horological Society of New York, and has spoken publicly about the need for more diversity in the watchmaking industry.
Hodge is also the co-founder of 9B Collective, described as the first Black-owned concept art studio made up primarily of BIPOC artists. His broader creative work spans writing and painting: in 2018, he collaborated with painter Harmonia Rosales on a series of paintings collectively titled Through the Looking Glass, exhibited in Los Angeles from January 10 to 14.
Personal Life
Aldis Hodge keeps his personal life deliberately private. No marriage has ever been publicly confirmed, and there is no public record of a wife. For years, entertainment sites have linked him with Harmonia Rosales, a Chicago-born contemporary artist known for her Renaissance-inspired paintings, with whom he shares creative interests — the two collaborated on the 2018 exhibition Through the Looking Glass, and Wikipedia reports that he dated Rosales in 2018. Hodge has said in interviews that he believes some parts of life should remain sacred, choosing to keep his public platform focused on his work.
Fatherhood is the one part of his private life Hodge has spoken about openly. He has a daughter — multiple entertainment outlets report she is shared with Rosales — and has repeatedly credited her with changing his life and reshaping how he thinks about work and success. Her name and image have been kept out of the spotlight.
Net Worth
Aldis Hodge's net worth is estimated at around $10 million, according to multiple entertainment finance outlets. The figure is an estimate rather than a confirmed number. His wealth comes from more than three decades of acting work — from his child-actor years through Leverage, major film roles, and Cross, where he also serves as an executive producer — plus his watch-design work through A. Hodge Atelier.
