Born in KY, John's parents divorced when he was 3. He and his sister split their time between both parents, but did not sem to mind this arrangement.

John did not intend on acting until he tried out for a school play. Although he was not cast, he was hooked on acting, and decided to take a week long trip to New York, where he met his future manager.

John says that he would have been just as content to rangle horses on the farm, if acting had not panned out. He had not decided to choose acting as a permanent career, until he had gotten the call back from his soon-to-be manager.
