Most parents would be concerned that their son was skipping classes from the college education they had saved all their lives for. When JOHN HEFFRON's parents found out that he'd been skipping his night classes in order to perform stand up comedy in Michigan, they were not happy.

But they're happy now that he made it through Eastern Michigan University and he's working in his field of choice.

Things have changed for the 30 year old Michigan native. He's now turned his wayward school days into a successful career as a headlining comedian and actor. John has found himself in Hollywood. And since arriving nearly two years ago in California he has starred in two television pilots. John begins shooting Comic House for NBC opposite Jay Mohr in June. Last year he landed the lead role in the VH-1 sitcom Smash. The show was created by one of John's biggest music idols, Gene Simmons from KISS. John made his late night television debut the week of August 5th, 2002 on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Before John headed out west, he was Danny Bonaduce's sidekick at Detroit's number one morning radio show The Q Crew on Q95.5 FM.

Currently, John is developing a pilot based on the popular card game he created with partner Joel Zimmer called That Guy! Card game. The pilot is being produced at NBC Studios. To see more about the game visit the website at www.thatguygame.com.

John has performed at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, HBO/Aspen Comedy Festival and on NBC's Late Friday and Comedy Central's Premium Blend. He's now in high demand by the networks and studios after his performance and his own show is not too far in the distant future.
