John Sickles
About
I bring more than 25 years of real-world executive leadership experience to acting, along with the confidence, communication skills, and presence that come from building companies, leading teams, negotiating high-level transactions, and speaking before professional audiences. Throughout my career, I have founded and operated successful financial and mortgage companies and held senior leadership positions including President, Senior Vice President, Vice President, and Director. My professional experience has put me across the table from business owners, investors, bankers, attorneys, executives, and other decision-makers, giving me an authentic understanding of how people in positions of authority communicate and carry themselves. I am also an experienced public speaker and published author of both nonfiction and fiction, including the political/action thriller Peace on Earth…At Any Cost. I am articulate, comfortable speaking before an audience or camera, and have a strong speaking voice and natural executive presence. Although I am relatively new to on-camera acting, I bring substantial life experience and am comfortable taking direction and learning. I believe my background makes me particularly well suited for authoritative and sophisticated character roles, including CEO, company president, banker, attorney, judge, politician, government official, doctor, senior military officer, intelligence official, law-enforcement executive, wealthy businessman, or corporate antagonist. Personally, I maintain an active lifestyle that includes weight training, hiking, running, and martial arts. I am comfortable with physically active roles and particularly interested in opportunities in television, feature films, streaming productions, commercials, corporate productions, and dramatic or action-oriented projects. I am professional, dependable, prepared, and excited to bring decades of real-world experience into a new arena in front of the camera.
