JOHN SELBY is a New York based classically trained actor and writer. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, John found his love for the arts at an early age - competing in short story competitions and acting in the school plays. His early credits include “Mailman” in the rousing 4th grade production of Snow Biz, and “Magi #1” the following year in the retelling of the birth of Jesus - both of which he featured as a soloist.

He would later earn his BA in Screenwriting from Loyola Marymount University’s renowned School of Film & Television, and his MA in Classical Acting for the Professional Theatre from the U.K.’s oldest drama school, LAMDA.

In 2024, John’s original one person play, 33, premiered Off Broadway as part of the United Solo Festival, and he made his regional stage debut as Tommy in The Shawshank Redemption at Flat Rock Playhouse. Select credits while training include Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Twelfth Night), Deflores (The Changeling), Teodoro (The Dog in the Manger), and Warwick (Margaret of Anjou).

John is passionate about collaboration, Shakespeare, cinema, chocolate chip pancakes, golf, and 80s country music.

He is represented by The Collective Talent (theatrical) and Innovative Artists (commercial).
