Growing up as a kid born in Springfield, Massachusetts, 1948, I kicked off my acting journey in the groovy ’70s. This was when I started making my mark, showing up in bit roles across both the big screen and the small one. Some of my earlier TV gigs include Kojak, Columbo, Barnaby Jones, and Phyllis. As for my movie roles during that period, The Psychopath, Breaking Away, and Borderline are the ones I graced with my presence.
At TopMob, we send our heartfelt sympathies to John Ashton’s family, friends, and all those who cared for him deeply as they navigate through this challenging period.
More to come…
