John is one of the BOUNCers in Season 7 of BOUNCE. Hi, I'm John! As one of the many kids who loved watching BOUNCE, the day I walked in to my audition to become one of the presenters was an overwhelming one: lined up as a welcoming committee. I began acting professionally since I was 7, and trained at NAAPA. I play piano and guitar and have also just started to learn –struggle to learn – the cello. BOUNCE is most certainly a career-highlight! It’s all fantastic fun, but one of my favourite things is to act out the stories! It also occasionally allows me to indulge my love of cooking. I feel incredibly privileged to be part of something that encourages children to use their imagination and creativity and develop their sense of play. It’s a great reminder to me, too, that these things are not as far away for us grown-ups as we might sometimes think. "And to all you BOUNCers out there..." BOUNCE reminds me of the wonder and simplicity of seeing the world through the eyes of a child; and how fantastic it is that we are all able to re-visit that place once in awhile. - John
