| John is a Wellington-based actor with a diverse background in TV, theatre, film, and voiceover work for TV and radio advertising. After an accident in 2018 left him permanently in a wheelchair, John underwent a lengthy rehabilitation process. With his deep passion for acting, he made a triumphant return to the industry, both writing for and portraying the character of John in the TV series Spinal Destination (now available on Neon). In addition to acting, John has been exploring his creative side through poetry, songwriting, and singing. In 2025, he released his debut EP, The Wall, under the name The John Landreth Project. |
