In case you haven’t guessed, I’m an actor!  But I'm also a dancer, playwright, and screenwriter who's based in New York City.  I recently portrayed "Richard Clarke" in Rob Lowe's Liberty or Death: Boston Tea Party and filmed a Super Bowl commercial with Drew Barrymore!  THE BIG GUN, my first short film as producer-writer-actor, stems from my childhood love of Film Noir.  We premiered at Brightside Film Festival in 2024 where I was nominated for Best Actor and was runner-up in the Best Short Film category. 

 

My theatre roles include "Joe" in The Shadow Box,  "Marcus" in Arthur Miller's The Archbishop's Palace, and “Steve” in Tennessee Williams' Small Craft Warnings, all produced by Regeneration Theatre.  In two productions of Clifford Odets' Golden Boy, Jon played boxing trainer "Tokio," and mobster “Eddie Fuseli.”

 

While developing my full-length screenplay Muskego Lake and the play Dennis, I act and write regularly for REEL ARC, New York's premiere service for actors' demo reels.  My dance play Joey Variations was an award-winning favorite at the 2016 New York Fringe Festival.

 

My ANTHOLOGY OF SHORT PLAYS AND MONOLOGUES is available through Amazon. And my short plays The Sweat; Ripple Effect; 8th Wonder; and Second Son have been winners and finalists at several festivals.

 

I’m a graduate of NYU and a member of the Dramatists Guild.  I’m also a canine-crazed fellow, antique car lover, and gardener with a big-city vibe and a small-town heart.  Awwww!
