Biography

John Ducey was born and raised in the rolling hills of Binghamton, New York. You know, it's west of Albany, east of Buffalo, south of Syracuse, and north of Scranton. He attended Seton Catholic Central high school, where he was a three-sport athlete and a two-play actor, appearing his senior year in Arsenic and Old Lace and Guys and Dolls. He took that love of trying to do everything to Harvard University, where he played JV Baseball, continued acting, and majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science while fulfilling all the Pre-Med requirements. As sports and studying fell by the wayside, John dove further into acting, appearing in over 20 plays and musicals while in college, including Harvard's world-famous Hasty Pudding Theatricals.

Upon graduating, John Ducey decided to delay medical school for one year to try his hand at an acting career in Los Angeles. That one year has since stretched into over 30 years. In 1993, he got his first break and union card appearing opposite Ben Affleck on the short-lived TV show, Against the Grain. While Ben's career escalated shortly after that, John's was a slower boil. He spent those early years tutoring high school students in math and science by day and staying busy in the Los Angeles equity-waiver theater scene by night. He performed at the Tiffany Theater, Tamarind Theater, and HBO Television Workspace, among other venues.

A run of sitcom guest appearances in the late 90s led to John finally landing a series regular role of his own, as the lawyer Ford on the ABC sitcom Oh Grow Up. The fickleness of television and the tsunami that was Who Wants to be a Millionaire soon brought that show to an end. But at least he was able to retire from tutoring.

In the years since then, Mr. Ducey has raised a child, married a woman, bought a house, and appeared in over 60 film and television roles. He and has wife, Christina Moore, have also since branched out into writing and producing independent movies for home entertainment and streaming services. He is unsure if his medical school applications are still valid.
