Jacob Lofland Facts
- He made his first film appearance by playing the role of Neckbone (one of the two teenage boys living near DeWitt, Arkansas who are excited to find an abandoned boat on a small island in the Mississippi River) in the coming-of-age drama film Mud in 2012. His co-stars in the film included Matthew McConaughey, Tye Sheridan, Sam Shepard, Michael Shannon, Joe Don Baker, Ray McKinnon, Sarah Paulson, Paul Sparks, and Reese Witherspoon.
- Jacob Lofland secured the part in Mud as the director wanted to find a young actor locally for the part and had casting notices placed in regional newspapers. As a result, Lofland’s mother came across one of them and realized that her son fit every adjective of Neck’s personality description. Lofland also had the boating and cycle riding experience for which Nichols was looking. Subsequently, Lofland sent in an application and secured the part eventually.
