John Boydstun

When I was younger I used to enjoy Rich Little, and other impressionists. I used to impersonate: John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, W. C. Fields, Groucho Marx, Richard Nixon. I only speak english, but feel that I can master most European accents such as: British, French, Italian. Also Australian, mate. I can create more characters than I can possibly list: Pirates, Old Men, Grumpy old men, Drunks, Gangsters, Thugs, Soldiers, Cowboys, Indians, Cops, Robbers, Sleazeballs, Paranoid Schizophrenics, etc.

No professional experience...yet. Previously performed characters on stage in high school and college productions of: MASH, If a Man Answers, Up the Down Staircase, The Mystery of Mouldy Manor, The Miser, The Long Goodbye, Equus, and Ghosts. Won Silver Award at 1979 National Collegiate Forensics Tournament for Readers Theater presentation in which my character evolved from being shy & meek, to being loud & aggressive within the course of 3 minutes. B.S. in Finance, San Diego State University, 1982. None.
