John Galt-Speaker for Saturday Jan 20 PDF Print E-mail
Written by John Galt

John Galt, in a communication to J Schuh, gives a preview of his upcoming talk to the joint Guild/A Bunch of Short Guys memberships on Saturday, January 20th.  In John's words:

It seems I've always been a supporting actor in some way all my life. I've done over 25 Dinner Theatre and Stock productions, including the American Tour of "No Sex Please we're British " with Maureen O'Sullivan, who did it in London. I also toured with Bob Casper and later with June Lockhart in the same show. I did "The Moon is Blue" with Don Ameche. I did "The Fantastiks" with John Gary and Michael Conrad. I did 76 weeks on the road with Mickey Rooney in "Three Goats and a Blanket" It was that tour that convinced me to focus on other show biz jobs.

I did 36 Movies, most as an actor, some as a voice. They ranged from Independents to pretty big, but all were interesting. The two that won Academy Awards I was a voice, not on camera. "JFK" and "Forest Gump" I was the voice of L.B.J. In "The Dirt Bike Kid" with Peter Billingsley, I was Police Chief "Galt". I managed to work with some big stars and some of them I liked very much.

I've done thousands of commercials and Industrials here and Los Angeles. My agent out there was Rita Venari of Sutton, Barth and Venari, I did "Yellow Bags", "Lincoln Mercury", "Shasta Cola with Fructose", and was the "Nestle Strawberry Quick Rabbit" who only giggled. I did a lot of stuff out there and can't remember the rest. Back here I did all the Autozone spots done in the 90's. and 70 Movie trailers a year for Blockbuster, DeJ, & Asylum. They were mostly made for DVD films.

I did cartoons. Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros Bugs Bunny show, and so forth, out there....and occasionally out here. I did computer games, "Shadow Warrior" for 3d realm I was Lo Wang and some bad guys, "Dominion" for Ion Storm, I was the Admiral and a Bug General. "Die Katana" I was Ebiharra and some bad guys. "Urban Chaos" I was the cab driver, "Duese X" I was Tracer Tong, Jock the Helo pilot, an Illuminati, and a boss. For Terminal Reality, "Nocturne" I did the Mayor, The Demon Morlock, Scat Davis and a pile of bad guys. For "Prey" I did the Grandfather spirt guide. The lead was Michael Greyeyes, a cree Indian, the female was a Cherokee beauty and I was only like the others when I opened my mouth and Chief Dan George came out.

I found that my voice had fewer limitations than my appearance so now I am strictly a voice talent. I'll do a film if asked, I did "Miracle Dogs two" with Janine Turner and Charles Durning, Lesley Ann Warren and David Keith that was shot in Grapevine last year. I got to play with cute dogs and kids. I will be happy to talk to young creatives that want to do animation. I can explain how the voice helps the picture because they work together. I look forward to it.
