Testimonials
“John has helped me trust myself as an actor and trust that my individuality is my greatest asset. With a positive and reassuring approach, he brings out the best in his students. ”
“They say that the best acting comes from relaxation and getting out of our own way. John absolutely provides that environment when coaching. He allows the actor to shine in their own unique way while nudging you into specificity. ”
“Simply put I love working with John, in any capacity. I’ve worked with him as a fellow actor and as his director. In each situation, he is professional, passionate, fun and kind. He goes above and beyond. His performances are grounded, nuanced and woven expertly with heart and humor.
I’ve also loved working with him as a writer. His comedy punch up of my feature, which he also starred in, was invaluable and brought so much to the world. The feature script he wrote is still one of my favorite scripts that I’ve read. He knows character and storytelling inside and out.”
