Biography

John is an experienced VoiceOver, Television and Stage talent. After starting out doing VoiceOver work in Los Angeles, John studied Improv with Bill Applebaum and during the weekly classes, discovered a love of performing comedy with his classmates.

In addition, John was cast as the Player King in Ethos' production of Hamlet, a role that he loved playing. John also performed at L.A.'s Stella Adler Theater in the world premiere of "A Credit to his Race: The Ernest Just Story" in the role of Professor Frank Lilly. While continuing to work on stage and keeping busy in the recording booth, John appeared on ABC's "General Hospital" as the Police Chaplain. Other soaps followed but it was GH that gave him his first network exposure. Before earning his SAG card, John played actor George Reeves in a popular episode of "North Mission Road". John and his family have returned to the East Coast and reside in Connecticut. John has appeared on New York television shows including NBC's "30 Rock" and CBS' "As the World Turns".

He is busy coaching his sons' baseball and basketball teams as volunteering as a BookPal for the SAG Foundation. John looks forward to staying active in television, commercials, VoiceOver work and returning to the stage. John would like to get another opportunity to be the Player King again. "What a thrill and a privilege to be one of the thousands of actors who can count themselves among the army of Player Kings and Queens....Hamlet's actor friends."
