John (the prodigal son of actors John Sr. and Linda Berhle…LOL) has been acting since the age of 7, but did not seriously consider pursuing acting as a profession till the age of sixteen when he landed the role of Harold Hill (The Music Man) in Rahway High School (to this day a favorite role). He has had the bug ever since. Since 1997, he has appeared in steady stream of productions and diverse roles all over Central, NJ. He has had the pleasure of both performing on the Union Co. Arts Center and Paper Mill Playhouse stages. In early 1999, he had the oppertunity to participate in Kean University's Theatre Tour production of The Fantasticks which performed in 15 selected high schools around NJ. He has also tried his hand at directing with his high school production of the female Odd Couple in 1998. Between community productions, John will now set his sights on the professional stage and film, which he hopes to succeed in both.
John would love to thank his family, his friends, and his wonderful girlfriend for all their love and support; most of all for showing him the way though he is too pig-headed sometimes to listen to them :). And special thanks to his father for giving him this wonderful talent!
