You may know him from shows such as Corey in the House, NCIS, Dexter, Quantum Leap, seaQuest, Hannah Montana, and Seinfeld, where he played the notorious, Todd Gack. From weathering a slew of acting rejections, to getting discovered while slinging drinks at a famous seafood restaurant, we join John on his rollercoaster journey through the extreme highs and lows of booming Hollywood in the '80s. Be it auditioning for The Godfather III in front of Coppola, or hobnobbing with Barbara Streisand and Warren Beatty during the '84 Olympics, John shares endless industry stories, including how he finally got his big break. Mentored by Tony award-winning Charles Nelson Reilly and iconic Burt Reynolds, John has had a deep yearning to share his knowledge and passion for the arts, eventually leading him to found his own Young Actors Workshop, which has grown successfully and exponentially over the years. To top it all off, he serves as a big brother with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. John can honestly say that he's made Larry David and Seinfeld laugh, really respects the art of acting, has a heart of gold, and lucky for us, he's made time in his busy schedule to be here today.
