Subscribe to The Locher Room: bit.ly/TheLocherRoom
Emmy Award-winning actor John Wesley Shipp will join me live in The Locher Room on Friday, January 6th at 3 p.m. EST. John has been a continual presence on television for over four decades with popular roles on some of daytime and prime-time TV’s biggest shows.
John made his television debut on Guiding Light where he played, “Dr. Kelly Nelson.” John is a two-time Emmy winner, garnering his first award for his incredible performance as the duplicitous Douglas Cummings opposite Julianne Moore on As the World Turns and his second Emmy the following year for his guest turn as Martin Ellis on Santa Barbara - making him the only actor to win consecutive Emmys for two different daytime dramas. Other memorable roles include stints on One Life to Live, and All My Children.
John currently portrays Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash and will return to Vancouver soon to shoot the ninth and final season. John has played five different roles across five different shows in the FLASH franchise for over 30 years.
He starred as The Flash when CBS brought the series’ first to television in the 1990’s; he has played Barry Allen, Professor Zoom, Henry Allen, and Jay Garrick. He just appeared in the series finale of STARGIRL on December 7, 2022.
John took on another iconic role after The Flash that of Mitch Leery, James Van der Beek’s father, on the WB’s series Dawson’s Creek. He continued with a memorable turn as boxer Lucky Williams, love interest to Julianne Phillip’s Frankie, on NBC’s hit drama Sisters, and terrified audiences with his haunting arc as Isaac’s abusive father and Beacon Hills gravedigger, Mr. Lahey, opposite Daniel Sharman on MTV’s drama Teen Wolf.
John is a classically trained theater actor who also studied opera. He was featured on Broadway playing the Welsh wastrel, Gerry Evans, in the TONY Award winning production of Dancing at Lughnasa, as well as in Safe Sex at the Lyceum Theatre opposite Harvey Fierstein to name a few. John just played Henry Fonda in a workshop of a new play Hank and Jim Build a Plane written by One Life to Live’s David Gregory.
Don’t miss John Wesley Shipp live on January 6th.
