Now, Mark Hamill wasn't in BachelorMan, but John has worked with him and just about everybody else in this town. He'll write a book about it someday he says, but 'till then you're just gonna have to take my word for it.

After Valerie Flake, John directed PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, starring indie favorite Frank Whaley, Annabeth Gish and Amy Jo Johnson. Other film credits include BACHELORMAN and the documentary THIS IS MY FATHER. He's directing Grounded For Life, for FOX and another TV show we can't talk about...
