I guess about 5 or 6 years ago they were having like a 40 if anniversary have them be a band no probably a 50th and they had heard me tell the story one time somebody from their camp and i got to make a video that they played in our hometown in pittsburgh of a big concert that they did where i got to tell this story briefly 30 seconds long many other people. You know john i cant imagine a 15 or 16 year old kid in West Virginia that must have been at that point probably the most exciting 48 hours of your life up to that moment i musta wet your whistle a little to give it a try yourself right at least singing acting something what sent you from the beautiful hills of West Virginia to hollywood way. I graduated high school 79 and my mom and dads we lived in oxnard california until i was 2 and they split up so we took the train back to West Virginia to live with my grandma and when i graduated from high school my dad i was going to go to college my dads was a well there he said come on out and ill put you to work in the Boilermakers Union and i did it i drove out here was somebody else i didnt know this guy very well i only met him a handful of times since i was 2 for a week and each time about every 6 years and his name was john also your ears close and he put me to work in the steel factory man and i was 30 miles south of hollywood.

Suit coat on from the sixtys and youre talking about weeding and driving your mower and all day its quite a. Cliff to differ from what way they were proceeding you before they. Lets talk more than exposure johnny because when i look back on that show very infrequently to somebody change the meter and the mill you werent so corky remember 30 something had some 5 like that you know showed the number around periodically they just sort of break the template what are your memories of getting northern exposure when it becomes mega hot tell me about the run my friend. Life changing i was the one in the audition susie had 0 on there i did one up so the wonder years in 1988 little guest star nothing else on the resume and this is 2 years later i was really close to giving up acting because nothing was happening and you know you have to make a living and i was about 27 years old i guess and i and i did a jack in the box commercial and somebody from universal saw me on it called me in and for callbacks later i was on a plane i was living in to luke luke hartman i was on a plane to seattle to live for the next 14 years i mean it really that one audition changed my life we we got up there they put us in these little boat. You know houses with you know dishes and forks and knives for the 1st season so we all lived together dissolute fish at the apartment and we really got to bond and know each other on morrow Jean Turner Ameri corps veteran john cullen well i mean were literally next door to each other and. And were all of you know none of us knew seattles who are all live in the outskirts of seattle about 45 minutes outside of the city and. Just great where are our studios in an old shoe warehouse that they converted and nobody knew what this thing was you know we were trying to figure out i think the 3rd episode and we kind of realize it was a it was a dark comedy you know he cuz it was just so weird and quirky but raw morrow was playing this doctor so straight and nobody was really going for laps it was just it was. When people responded the way they did it sort of blew it so hey you know people liked it as much as we sort of lenticular happens in this business now i know it happens that you do things you do pilots that you love and just think everyones going to love and its just thumbs down so it was very cool for it to go like yeah it had course the rhythms and i always thought of you at what i see the office and i watched the great comedy actor and seems like a cool guy john is his name presence here because in ski that cat you were sort of the that guy. Time because you always came off with such a a cool manner when i used to watch the show as the thing i wonder what this cats like you seem so cool and it was a huge hit but i think it burned pretty brightly but not for it wasnt a it was a gunsmoke run it was a johnny how long we had 5 i think with 5 seasons but to the seasons really episodes each in the other 2 were probably 20 episodes so. You know probably dont know maybe under 100 shows but heres the reason why youll never see it again because of the music the music. There is so much music in these shows they can afford to play it now because they have to pay so much you know in those royalties even the videos they put the videos out and they just put all stock music on with current ruined the show because part of it another character like the 5th beatle was the music that they that they picked for this show is fantastic and thats why you know he was now on time how come we dont see it reruns thats the main reason thats wonder whether Hollywood Ascap all those things they keep tabs that if you wrote it youre getting paid somewhere along the way even if it was 20 years ago lets take it over to the you must think i dont know what happens after that solver but maybe youre thinking i dont know do i get a big Plate Appearance again and then an even bigger thing comes along section the city absolutely huge yeah so the exposure ends in 95 then about 5 years pass and nothing really happens i do want to do pretty bad t. V. Movies and im still living in seattle some way from the business and you know get a little older i guess maybe 36 or so now and. I get an offer to come to new york and be on the show with Sarah Jessica parker who i liked. From watching as an actress but i dont like the show they sent me a couple those be ok sets and you know its all the jokes and just not something that i was into i know its on the air and people are liking it but i didnt like it so i said no i wasnt interested in being part of because my mom at that time was everything i do it was slightly embarrassing and i had to be naked in the 1st episode and i just passed and they said fine but then week later they said look sarah just you want to come to. See her just going to come new york just she just wants you to meet or take a trip to new york its a free trip 1st class so thats what i did i have some friends in new york i said ok ill go do that and i showed up at her house and she was with Michael Patrick king and i believe darren star was there down in the village and they talked me into it because she was so charming and it was it would have been one of my biggest regrets if i said no to that thing so its just it was a pleasure man it was so much fun to be in new york and now im on this show that is not about the you know the outback i couldnt be hipper you know i went from a to z. I now im just you know in the greatest city of all time on the greatest show at that time thats 2000 that you could you know talk about saturday nights must watch it was crazy. You know when from aiden and i tell you what it was a good move for your brand johnny because i remember one time we were up in twin falls member we were escaping that forest fire and we went down to 20 falls and we stopped at a sonic i remember we went into the counter and theres like 5 young ladies workaday you know just gals bit gals of all of a sudden all you hear from the back is aid and. I just remember thinking boy that is a role thats going to stick with him for a long time and yet was providence agenda not taken it thank god sarah was so charming out he so charming i got a free milk shake out at sonic 2 i remember jokily that i loved her pastor. That that girl is what he if you want to talk about. Entertainment tonight and behind the scenes in whos got egos and who doesnt whos a diva she is a working hero mind that chick on that show was 1st there in the morning after work and we all went home should go to a studio in do you know she she did monologues voiceover over all of those episodes i mean she worked so hard she lunch with the crew every day which is unheard of for you know if you were going to movie theres a big star there say like Tommy Lee Jones youll never see that do have a lunch with 100 people she was just the greatest. Well listen theyre afraid to have tommy leeson at the crew table because people might think the caterers brought in dodger dogs for lunch you never know lets take some social Media Questions jay bird we got a bunch of them on we said you were coming on. On facebook as i cant predict this answer because sometimes the biggest thing to you is not the biggest thing whats your favor all over the course of your career. Its a role nobody ever saw me do i did a little play it sort of read a Community College called heres this little impulse when i would just figuring out all about this acting and we probably played it you know 25 times for 200 people and it was just a great great play ive never been able to im never been able to grab. Out of the ether those feelings that i felt when i did that play from from any role but if i had to name one that has been filmed it would definitely be the movie tombstone even though i have 3 or 4 lines in that movie i got to spend 4 months out in arizona with bill paxton who became such a good friend and carranza like you know me and most of the movie and sam elliot Jason Priestley sama satan church i mean it just it was we were 4 months in 1992 the summer of. 1902 in a holiday and in tucson arizona and it was the man show. Who is in the show in a couple other girls but it was holiday and bar after filming every night and it was probably like were done.
