John R Smith Jnr

My agent likes to bill me as an award-winning, classically-trained, character actor. But I'm just a guy who's been addicted to performing since I was kid improvising puppet shows behind a couch with my cousin and brother, and aping friends, family & TV Character voices.

For nearly 30 yrs my sole focus was stage, but when Covid shuttered theaters I pivoted to film, starting with horror festival fave and modern holiday classic: The Woodsman. Soon after, I got an unsolicited request to play gangster Butch Rhodes on the Forgotten Rooms podcast, and found I really enjoy merging the creation of grounded characters with the arsenal of accents & voices I've collected over the years behind a mic.
