Most actors can trace their beginnings back to the Theater. But John’s defining moment came outside of the theater. More precisely outside a Theater Ticket Office. It was there that John Catucci met up with the producers of “First Time Caller” and renewed a friendship that began years before. It was at that fateful encounter, just before the 7:00 showing of “Daytrippers”, that John Catucci was offered a role in the stage production, “Never Say Goodbye”. After a bravura performance that brought the house down, night after night, John was offered the lead in the feature film, “First Time Caller”. To say that the rest is history would be a cliché. But that won’t stop us from saying it. Today John Catucci is a successful performer in the local Comedy Scene. After a successful stint with the comedy troupe “Performance Anxiety”, John is currently touring with another fellow Italian in the hilarious comedy duo, “The Doo- Wops”. The Doo-Wops combine music and sketch comedy to create a style all their own. It has received great responses including this review from John’s grandfather, “Hey Johnny, you are really funny. Now go get a job.” In spite of all this praise, John still loves his grandfather.
John has recently signed on to do a movie with ABC television called “The Last Laugh.” In spite of the momentum that he’s building with his career, John remains grounded by reminding himself that his performances may be electric, but must first and foremost remain honest. John’s family keeps him grounded by reminding him that this could all end as quickly as it began. For that John is grateful, and especially for the words of wisdom passed on to him by his father over and over again, “Don’t Sign Anything!”
John would like to thank the creators of “First Time Caller” for their decision to cast him. John’s father would like to thank the creators of “First Time Caller” for guaranteeing him that John wouldn’t have to sign anything to be in the movie. John’s grandfather has no reason to thank the filmmakers because as he so eloquently puts it, “what the hell have they ever done for me?!”
