Lucky for us, he’s taken some
time from his busy schedule to stop by for a visit. It's a sunny afternoon in the woods, and we're relaxing on the deck. Join us and sit back. We opened a big bottle of Faygo Red Pop and have the
blender making slurpees to share.

| John has graced many covers. |
It’s great
to see you, John. I think it’s amazing of how you went from The World’s Most
Tattooed Male Cover Model to becoming an actor. I admire how dedicated you are and how you put 100% of yourself into whatever you are working on.
In December
of 2013, you made your acting debut as hit man Beckett Taylor in Debra
Anastasia’s Return to Poughkeepsie . Then you were selected as a lead
actor in Jillian Bullock’s film ‘A Sense of Purpose – Fighting for Our Lives’.
It’s great seeing you again, John. (Hands John a Slurpee.) What have you been up to?
I always
have some kind of a project on the table working towards my goals and achieving
many dreams. Most recently I was filming in New York as I was signed on as the
role of Marvel villain character Rhino (Aleksei Sytsevich) for the TV/Web
Series: Spider-Man And The Monsters of Manhattan (2021). Paul Giamatti is the
actor who portrayed Rhino in the 2014 film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Paul is a
very talented actor and I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason and
God above. My goal is to portray Rhino on the Silver Screen as many on set
thought my performance was worthy. Maybe Paul will have a conflict with another
film project in the near future leaving the role of Rhino open for another
actor to fill. I told my grandfather a week before he passed away in 2013 I'd
make it big as an actor. This would definitely fulfill my promise to him.
When I
think about it, I always seem to take on bad guys and villain roles. Many have
told me I play those roles very well. I have too much respect for this business
not to take every role seriously and give it my all. I guess I truly am a bad
guy with a heart of gold as people say these roles are nothing like the real
John.
My regimen
is still basically the same. I've always had a phrase that as we all get older
one has to train smarter not harder. I train now more like a boxer to keep myself
in shape and remain as injury free as I possibly can.
Everyone agrees, hands down… you
maintain your buffness very well. Readers, you would absolutely LOVE his New England accent. (Passes
napkins to our readers to wipe the drool off their chins.) John, you are such a busy guy. Take a minute
and walk us through a day in your life.
My life is
not much different than many of you. I try to get up early and train as I like
to start my day physically and mentally on the right foot. I usually try to
make some healthy food for my day at that time as well. When I am with my kids
I try to give them my complete attention as quality time with them is very
important to me I focus on my work as it is very important, although I try not
to take it too seriously as life is too short to sweat the small stuff.
You are such a busy guy, what do you enjoy doing most when you’re not working?
I try to keep myself fit as time moves forward so I guess that is my hobby. As we get older you never know when your last day is going to be. My goal is to watch my kids grow up and have their own kids. I want to be here and see them be successful. I truly want to be around to witness all of this and I think keeping myself healthy to the best of my ability will help me do that.

You are such a softie, John. *Sigh* You also have a big heart. I remember you always enjoyed helping various charities.
I have participated in many charities over the years. I enjoy helping people and if I can do things to make people's lives better is a win-win for everyone There is truly no set number as there are an infinite amount of charities I would promote today. Every charity has the same goal which helps those who are struggling and trying to overcome some kind of adversity.
Is Greek Pizza still your favorite
dish? We featured a recipe for Greek Pizza HERE.
Greek pizza I would say still remains the number one favorite dish although I do have a soft spot for authentic Italian dishes. I love salty things instead of sweet when I am craving comfort food, that's for sure.
During a previous interview, (Living the Fantasy with John Quinlan) you
mentioned candles being an element for a romantic evening. Describe what
you would consider a romantic event.
I think, most importantly, for anything to be considered a romantic event there would have to be a good chemistry between both people. Trust, communication, and mutual love are three things which can make any event a romantic one. Ideally, a nice restaurant with candles and each being completely focused on one another is perfect.
Since Thanksgiving is around the corner… tell us
what Turkey Day is like at your house.
There is nothing scientific about this answer Mary when it comes to Thanksgiving. Every food you can imagine and having at least a double or triple amount of it will be routine. I make the most of this holiday because it is the best eating day of the year! It only comes one day a year so have no regrets at the dinner table. I guarantee that I will not have any regrets when I fall asleep watching football on TV after the food malay is completed.
That sounds like a great day and very similar to ours. It's been great visiting with you, John. I appreciate you taking time out from your busy life to share with us. Any last words to our readers.?
I would
like to thank you Mary for interviewing me here sitting on your back deck
drinking this Michigan based hometown favorite Faygo Red Pop Slurpee. You're
the best, invite me back again soon :)
