Achy Breaky Heart Throb Jake Ryan to Visit Polo
(Hannah Montana Star Cody Linley)

January 4, 2008 - Wellington, FL - The season at International Polo Club Palm Beach will get underway Sunday, January 13, 2008 when the Joe Barry Memorial Cup opening game is played and Cody Linley, Jake Ryan from Hannah Montana the Disney Channel series, visits to throw out the first ball, sign autographs and present trophies following the game.

Linley has appeared in several of the wildly popular series and was nominated this year for a Young Artist Award “Best Performance in a Recurring Role” and was part of the programming that won an Emmy for “Outstanding Children’s Programming.”

Cody recently starred as "Sean" opposite Emily Osment in HAUNTING HOUR: DON'T THINK ABOUT IT produced by The Hatchery and distributed by Universal which airs on Cartoon Network. The film is based on an R. L. Stein book, a horror flick, also available on DVD.

Cody also starred as the leading role of "Mullet Fingers" in the Walden-Media family film HOOT, produced by Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy, Jimmy Buffett and directed by Wil Shriner. In HOOT, Mullet Fingers (Linley) is a wild boy who lives in the woods and fights to protect the owls that live there despite the police officer’s (Luke Wilson) efforts to stop the mischief he causes because of it. The film is based on the Carl Haaison's award winning book.

Cody made his motion picture debut as Spit McGee in the poignant family film "My Dog Skip." For his work in the award-winning movie, Cody shared the Young Artist Award (along with star Frankie Muniz and other cast members) for Best Ensemble in a Feature Film.
