Ask him where he's from and John will tell you he's from L.A. (Lower Afton). Born in June of 1952, John's father was a postal worker who died of a massive heart attack one month before his second birthday, and his sister Betty was 4 months away from being born. John's older brother Leslie (15 years older) jumped in to help their mother Virginia and became sort of a father figure to both John and Betty. John and Les became very attached to each other and even to this day, John still looks up to Les and his mom still thinks John is ''a great son and a regular guy.'' Eventually, he starred in two Broadway shows, "Loose Ends" in 1979, and "Big River" in 1985. His other stage credits include; "Private Wars and Lone Star" (1979), "Lady of the Diamond" (1980), "The Chisolm Trail Went Through Here" (1981), "Henry IV, Part One" (1981), "Ghosts of the Loyal Oaks" (1981), "Half a Lifetime" (1983), "The Palace of Amateurs" (1983), "At Home" (1984), "Big River" (1985), and "Anthony and Cleopatra" (1987). His television credits include guest-starring roles in "Moonlighting", "The Paper Chase," and "The Equalizer." and a pilot for ABC called "After Midnight". He also appeared in the 50th birthday specials of Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry. He returned to the theater once again, playing Falstaff in "King Henry IV," Parts I and II, at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California. He has also lent his talent to a few children's productions, including the film "We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story", the first episode of PBS's Storytime where he read "The Little Polar Bear" by Hans de Beer, and was the voice of 'Frosty the Snowman' in TV's "Frosty Returns". John has also developed a talent for song. He has showcased this talent on "Roseanne" and in the movie "King Ralph" and "Blues Brothers 2000" but he has also performed live.
