Introduce Yourself : Actor on the rebound by John Witt

John Witt

Actor on the rebound

Earned my very first paycheck as an actor at 10, and couldn't resist the lure of the footlights through college. After teaching drama and working summer stock for a while, the need for a steady paycheck to support a family sparked a 40-year detour into journalism. It was still storytelling and I learned new skills in radio, TV, newspaper, wire service and online jobs, having some amazing life experiences along the way. Since retiring a little over a year ago, I jumped back into my first love and have landed background and small supporting roles in four feature films and five TV shows, a couple of radio plays and voice over work in documentaries and audiobook narration. With a standing weekend gig as a Confederate general at the American Civil War Museum, I have just enough work to keep me from getting bored. Looking forward to learning and networking here. I long ago gave up illusions of getting rich or famous, but I'm determined not to give up until I get GOOD.
