'It was great to be part of River City, but I was so nervous.'
“It’s a total coincidence - this is a new development in my career,” grins John, who is much more recognisable - to theatre-goers at least - for his impressive roles in Shakespearian productions and theatrical classics.
John was born in Glasgow, grew up in Edinburgh and studied drama in Wales. His first ‘proper’ stage role after graduating was at Glasgay, the lesbian and gay arts and culture festival which ran in Glasgow throughout the 90s and noughties. Since then, John has appeared in numerous stage productions, including The Comedy of Errors at the Citizens in Glasgow, The Merry Wives of Windsor and Henry V with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Great Expectations with Dundee Rep.He will be recognisable to River City fans too, as scheming Glenn McAllister, who broke Lola’s heart, scammed money from The Grill, and fled to Amsterdam.
“Put me on a stage in front of 1500 people and yeah, there will be nerves because of the adrenalin, but it’s NOTHING compared to being in front of a camera crew on set and the director shouts ‘action’….it was terrifying.”
