The author is also known for his Hard-Boiled detective work in Renegade Cops. His writing portfolio also includes books for teens on success as well as other personal development titles.
Andrews who fantasized with becoming a cop as a little boy studied acting at Lee Strasberg Institute in NYC. He later brought his acting to Hollywood in 1997. He continued honing his acting craft at Van Mar Academy under the tutelage of Ivan Markota, the Star-maker.

John Andrews has since performed in multiple TV campaigns for Nike, AT&T, Hollywood Video, EMC Squared, Compaq Computers, Nasdaq. He appeared in John Q, and Films with Charlie Sheen and other major stars.
Many see him as a visionary, who, after being denied the rights to a film in 2002, which he badly wanted to remake, decided to would write his own. That rejection triggered his now writing career. Not many authors are adept at turning their novel into screenplay and vice versa. Andrews prides himself as a part of the elite pact.
Mentored in film by one of Hollywood's top film producers in Mark Burg, John Andrews has seen many films come to the big screen including JOHN Q starring Denzel Washington, and the SAW franchise and others. According to Andrews: "Mark. Burg always invited me on the set, whether film or TV. I did embrace those opportunities. He always kept me in the know and was never reluctant when it came to introducing me to his allies. On set, I learned how to see things through a producer's eyes. One of the gems I picked up from him is that he always came in under budget."

Jonathan and Jefferri collaboratively released their first novel in 2013 and are not only turning it into a sequel but will be co-authoring upcoming "Who Shot the Sheriff?
