Success

John has had a busy year so far. He just recently got back from San Juan Puerto Rico, where he shot his first part in a major motion picture, The Perfect Getaway. He's been over at National Banana doing the occasional short project for Jerry Zucker, and he just finished a showcase with the Hayworth Studio Ensemble.
As a commercial actor John has had plenty of success with Jack in the Box, Nextel, Fox, & AOL Time Warner commercials under his belt. When John was on the set of his first commercial, the director walked up, gave his costar some notes and then said to John, "John, you look drunk." John abruptly apologized swearing it wouldn't happen again, when the director said, "No, you're doing great. That's why I hired you."

Seriously

John is a very very very very very very... very serious actor. He does everything seriously. He brushes his teeth seriously. He does the crossword puzzle seriously. When he was five he walked into the principal's office in his best shirt (Hawaiian) and demanded a meeting to discuss how they could make this school a better place. John isn't sure why the principal was laughing. He's also not sure if Mr. Cates ever stopped laughing because he was laughing every time he saw John from that moment on. He as serious as a Larry H. Parker commercial. He will fight for you, seriously. John was born in Morgantown, West Virginia, one of the only places in America with a monorail outside of Disneyland. After riding that a few times he decided he was ready for bigger and better things... California. He was lucky his parents decided to join him because he was only 18 months old and did not yet have a drivers license, or know anything about personal liability insurance.
Flash forward a few years, and John discovered he had a penchant for acquiring nicknames. In high school his friends called him Thor, like the Norse God of Thunder. They said he was such a nice and friendly guy until you pissed him off, and then it was like lightening struck him, and his clothes evaporated into a loin cloth and his books turned into a spectral war hammer. He hit UCLA (a school with a larger population than the town he was born in) and immediately became known as "Hockey John" to his friends in the Theater, Film, and Television department, "Phrpmff" to his hockey teammates (Yes UCLA does have a hockey team). John's closest friends started calling him Captain Random with the tag line:

Sailing the Seven Seas of Verbiage Without a Compass

Most recently, John seems to have acquired the nickname Johnny T. If you think it sounds tacky try using it on him next time you see him. Your head will explode with awesomeness. That is most unfortunately, a proven fact. There are however, worse things than dying from awesomeness. The name just seems to fit.
John's dreams of becoming a professional goaltender in the NHL were crushed when he realized that no scouts were coming out to see a club hockey team play so he chose his other love... his major... acting.
