John considered himeslf to be a class clown that enjoyed being in front of people and making them laugh. Early life and education As a public school student in the second grade, John got his first taste in theatrical productions by playing the part of Sneezy in his class production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Music, combined with a contract major in Musical Theatre in 1984 (the contract allowed him to receive credit in other performance classes such as theatre & dance), John earned his Screen Actors Guild card the following year, and then moved out west to Los Angeles, California. He also added a middle initial "D" to his name so as not to be confused with another actor by the same name.

His first gig was on Remington Steele in 1985, followed by appearances in The Facts of Life and Rod Serling's The New Twilight Zone.
