Biography

John was most recently on Broadway in the Tony Award-nominated musical comedy Shucked, originating the role of con man Gordy Jackson for which he earned a Grammy nomination. Prior to that, John received an Outer Critics Nomination playing Max Van Horn in the Tony Award-winning musical Tootsie. He also appeared on Broadway in Joshua Harmon’s play Significant Other, starred in the New York production of The 39 Steps, and made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning play revival of Journey’s End. On film, he last appeared with Jon Hamm in the Miramax feature Confess, Fletch directed by Greg Mottola, and with Ben Schwartz in indie feature Standing Up, Falling Down, having the distinct honor of punching both leading men in the face on camera. On television, he can be seen in Season 2 of “Elsbeth” and HBO’s “The Gilded Age.” He recurred as Agent Adams in “Riverdale” and as Ann Dowd’s FBI partner in “Good Behavior,” and has guested on “And Just Like That,” “Madam Secretary,” “Instinct,” “Odd Mom Out,” “Blue Bloods,” and “The Good Wife.” Equally at home in comedy or drama, on stage or screen, John has been fortunate to work in a wide array of mediums and styles. He’s been in off-Broadway plays and musicals for many of New York’s most respected theater companies including Lincoln Center, Ars Nova, Roundabout, MTC, MCC, Encores, and the Civilians. He’s had an extensive commercial career and has been a voice actor for over a decade, most notably in the World Of Warcraft franchise. John is also a photographer, proud husband and father, and one-time trapeze artist.
