Theatre
He
has played the title roles in The Elephant Man and Red
Ryder, as well as leads in Private Wars, The
Actor’s Nightmare, Enter Laughing, Wizard of Oz,
and many more. From 1991 to 1998 he traveled the U.S. as a
member of the “Jeff Parmer Magic Show”. For three years
John and his wife Shelley co-produced and directed the raging
60’s revue “The Pastelles’ 60’s Rock N Roll Extravaganza”
in which John sang, danced, and performed stand-up as the wacky
nerd Eugene. For 3 years he was a performing member of “Keith
and Margo’s Murder Mystery” and “Mystery Event Theatre”,
being stabbed, shot, and maimed on a nightly basis.

commercials for Virginia Slims, Independent Insurance, and many
more. His film credits include a starring role as Charlie
Chaplin in the Chaplin Biography for Japan. On T.V. John was
seen recently in “To Tell the Truth” as The Banana Man
and Comedy Central‘s “Please Don‘t Feed the Comedians“.
Celebrities, Schools and much, much more...
John
now makes his living as “The School Assembly Entertainer”. His
love for children and magic gave him the idea to combine the two
with AMAZING SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES, programs that
educate, inspire and entertain school age children with comedy,
magic and a touch of insanity. John’s recently performed for
Daryl Hannah, Tommy Lee, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, and Natasha
Henstridge, just to name a few. His regular clients include
Ronald McDonald House, Mattel, Landmark Realty, Honda, Toyota,
Boy Scouts of America, Los Angeles & Orange County Library
Systems, Office Depot and just about every school district in So
Cal. John now performs about 400 (I know it sounds crazy, and
it is) programs a year and loves every minute of it. His finest
role is as father to his two daughters, Juna and Lily.
