John's first paid acting job was in 1982 when he was cast as the supermarket manager in a Wynn-Dixie commercial. More significantly that year, he met the future Mrs. Luder at church on Good Friday. That Fall, he returned to college to complete his B.A. in History. Following the under-graduate degree came three years of law school, and finally, a career as a Deputy District Attorney in 1989. The acting bug bit again in 1994 after John met Peter (Texas Jack) Sherayko, who had organized the cowboy acting troupe known as 'The Buckaroos' for the classic western "Tombstone" (1993). John joined The Buckaroos and commercials, TV series, and movies followed. More recently, John's character-actor looks and classic white moustache led to John Lee Hancock's tapping him to be Colin Farrell's disapproving neighbor in "Saving Mr. Banks" (2013).
