John Alston spent 25 years as an award-winning television news reporter and anchor in Atlanta, Philadelphia and most recently at KCRA-TV in Sacramento. But like Walter Mitty, in the back of his mind John dreamed about acting and comedy which has fascinated him since childhood. John got that opportunity in October 2006.

Since then John has appeared in the film Smokin' Aces and in an episode of Law & Order: SVU. Last year he graduated from the conservatory at the famed Second City in Los Angeles and is studying at the B Street Theatre Conservatory in Sacramento.

John is originally from Albany, New York and a graduate of Syracuse University.
