- Production designer and art director who began his career as a draughtsman at MGM's British Borehamwood facilities in 1956. His father was a supervising carpenter at the same studio.
- Graysmark was a consummate professional, sought-after by many first-rate directors. According to Clint Eastwood: "When I work with someone and I like the work they do, I'll continue to work with them. And John delivers. Not only is he the premiere production designer out of England, but he's not a prima donna. He's a straight-shooter who takes initiative, has experience, and is easy to talk to." (American Film, June 1990).
- He was a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, Art Directors Branch, and the Art Directors Guild, Local 800. In the UK, he was a member of the Association of Cinematograph Technicians (aka A.C.T.) and was President of the British Film Designers Guild (aka B.F.D.G.).
