John Depew

Biography

While it can often take a person some time to discover their passions in life, John Depew discovered his love of acting some 15 years ago at the age of 46. Since then, every day in the theater or on set makes him feel as if he's 21 again. Regardless of when he got his start, John has built a body of work that anyone would be proud of. John has worked in variety of mediums. From film and theater work to television commercials and industrials, John loves the craft. John has brought to life many memorable characters from the well- known Mort from Neil Simon's California Suite with the Burlington Players to lead and supporting roles in the award winning films Norma's Scent and Terminal Conversation as well as many others. Through his dedication and hard work, John has won not one, but two Emact in a single year for his supporting roles in the theater. Currently, John has more than 20 independent film credits to his name. While John continues to seek acting projects, he has also taken an interest behind-the-scenes as well. With an idea that had been rattling around in John's head for several years, and the help of writing partner Steve Hrehovik, John wrote his first feature length screenplay. Rather than hand the script to someone else to make, and with more than a little encouragement from John's wife, Judy Coleman, John created Wild Beagle Productions and set his mind on directing his first feature film. John is no stranger to new ventures. He has been an entrepreneur his entire life and is the CEO of Bradford Medical, a company John started from scratch some 18 years ago. Wild Beagle Productions was a natural progression for a man smitten by his desire to bring compelling characters to life and tell stories. Since Wild Beagle Productions launched, they have completed three films, 27 Down, CO2 and The Final Shift. In his short time as a Director, John has already garnered interest from distributors and accolades for his work. Despite such a full plate, John has recently found time to tackle a new media, the Internet by taking the reigns as director for the noir action/thriller Crossing Denver. In addition to his work with Bradford Medical and the entertainment industry, John has made time to be a loving father to four children and 12 grandchildren. Born in Kono, Hawaii, John resides in Haverhill, MA with his wife and partner in life and love Judy Coleman. Wild Beagle Productions
