Despite a losing streak in movies, John Armijo, better known as AMERICAS MOVIE COP, has had a winning streak working in some of his favorite childhood franchises, with many of Hollywoods biggest stars. Entering Hollywood South as a hobby in 2011, the hobby seems to be taking over more and more each year, as more and more opportunities open. John has been able to apply his intensity, icy stare and presence into various roles that mainly revolve around military, police and thug characters. In 2018, John took the next step in his film career, by producing a fan film: HOPELESS: A STAR WARS STORY, to learn how to produce a film. Calling in favors from years of networking, John was able to recruit over 150 volunteers to produce a 30 minute film. John plans to use the experience to move into original content and produce him own shorts and features. A California native, John now considers New Orleans his home.
