To hear John Ross Bowie tell it, his entire acting career came about as a result of trying to support his family - with maybe a little recognition as a character actor if he was lucky. From his beginnings growing up in Hell’s Kitchen, he was dissuaded from pursuing acting by his first-hand look at some of those who had pursued it as a profession. After a disastrous attempt at teaching high school English, an even worse plunge writing marketing copy while his band Egghead imploded, John began pursuing comedy and improv at UCB. In this episode, we discuss who watches the Big Bang Theory, how one secures bit parts in big movies and big parts in movies sold at car washes, the early years of the UCB theater and his newest role as a TV dad in the show Generation. Our conversation is fast-paced, hilarious and insightful, so don’t miss out.
