About Me

One warm and sunny day during the last week of July, a tiny young lad was forced out of his mother's cozy (and quite comfortable I might add) womb and pulled out into the world at Riverview Hospital in Red Bank, New Jersey. He spent the years to follow growing up a few towns away in Matawan. Unfortunately, the first 8 years of his life were spent in the 1980's so he (like the rest of his peers who grew up in that decade) started life as a big dork.After matriculating at Creative Campus pre-school, he spent his K through 8 years at St. Benedict's Elementry School where he experienced first hand about sharing, caring for your fellow man, literature, and the sick joke that is puberty. Ironically it was during that awkward phase of his life when he discovered the stage, and the ability to make an ass out of himself in front of complete strangers. This love for the stage followed him through the halls of St. John Vianney High School forever sealing his fate.The next 4 years he spent in the hell hole known as the Universtiy of Hartford majoring in Drama. Halfway through his sophmore year he realized what a god damned crappy, crappy school it was and decided to spend the second semester of Junior Year hiding in a theatrical cave: The National Theatre Institute.After Graduating with a BA in Drama (yes that's right he chose to go for a phony degree! Who needs a backup plan? Life will be great!) he spent the next two years...Living at home... fast foward Finally, John got his big break...well...not so much a big break...but he was cast in something! No one important came to see it...but damnitt! It was New York! a leading role in New York City! After a short run of A Loss of Color, John felt this bizzare feeling surrounding him...what was it??? By God! It felt like confidence! He mustered all that confidence up and grabbed his two best frineds from High School and moved to Brooklyn, where they now live the lives that their degrees carved out for them...Starving artists. P.S. In case you haven't noticed by now I'm also very sarcastic....

Myspace Layouts

I'd like to meet:

I love meeting new people. I can seem shy at first (yes it's true, some actors are really shy sometimes), but after a short while I warm up to people. I enjoy meeting anyone who has interest in the arts, and I also like meeting people who I can leran new things from. Girl wise, I'm looking for someone who can be completely honest in any situation. That's probably the most important aspect of any relationship. I'm always very straight forward with anyone i get even remotely involved with, and I expect the same. A girl who enjoys to just chill sometimes and have a good cuddlin' session rather than go out every single night....being extreamly adoreable doesn't hurt either. No fat chicks! (sorry had to say it ;-) )

Music:

Broadway, The Beatles, Rusted Root, Elliot Smith, Elton John, Blink 182, Reel Big Fish, the Offspring, Dispatch, Jurassic 5, Randy Newman, Paul Simon, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies

I like all sorts of movies. Except for bad ones. Nothing gets on my nerves more than seeing a poorly made film do well at the box office. As to what my favorite movie is, I decided that "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is my favorite movie ever. It's one of the few films that allows the actors to simply be in the moment. With all the CGI crap and computer edited garbage (such as the recent Star Wars rapings) it's hard to find films like that anymore. Here's an abbriviated list of other movies I love (in no particular order). Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Pixar films, Amadeaus, Batman Begins, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, Animal House, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers (the original version), Magnolia, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Godfather 1 & 2, Lost in Translation...the list goes on...but you get the idea... width="425" height="350" .. After i watched this video, I looked it up on the hasbro website. It exists.

Television:

The Simpsons, the Daily Show, Reno 911, The Sopranos, South Park, Futurama, The Colbert Report, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Mythbusters, King of the Hill, Scrubs, Arrested Development Screw Family Guy. That's right you freaks...I said it. SCREW FAMILY GUY! IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!! (I wonder if they're going to spoof something this week? hmmm...?) .. width="425" height="350" ..
