Biography

Wyatt's big screen debut was the George Huang/Luc Besson action-drama "Weekend in Taipei" opposite Luke Evans, Sung Kang, and Gwei Lun-Mai. The film earned widespread critical recognition, including being featured twice in The New York Times. NYT action film critic Robert Daniels included it in his curated piece "Five Action Movies to Stream Now" (September 2025), and the film was again featured in the Times' post-Oscar "Watching" newsletter (March 2026), where fresh off recommending One Battle After Another for Best Picture, Daniels spotlighted Weekend in Taipei as "a Taipei-set thriller with plenty of tricks up its sleeve."

Wyatt's performance as whistle-blower Raymond drew standout notices: "A standout feature film debut, Raymond is not only a beacon of innocence in a world of moral gray areas but also a catalyst for John's emotional journey." (R.C. Samo, Fanboy Nation) Next Best Picture called his turn "a scene-stealing performance that adds depth to the ensemble." Asian Movie Pulse declared Wyatt "equally memorable" alongside the film's international cast, and Impulse Gamer praised "the raw, honest bewilderment" of his performance as elevating the film "to one that rivals that of big screen masterpieces."

Wyatt also appears in "Pretty Babies," playing a punk rocker with a tender young heart, jilted by the girl he adores, played by Emily Ayn Lind. Produced by Christine Vachon of Killer Films, the film will premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival in the Summer of 2026.

On the comedic front, Wyatt appeared in both seasons of Mike Schur's critically acclaimed Netflix hit "A Man on the Inside" opposite comedy legend Ted Danson. The series earned a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, was named an AFI Top 10 Television Program of 2024, and has been renewed for a third season.

Outside of acting, Wyatt is a singer/songwriter, club soccer player, competitive tennis player, and trained martial artist who speaks fluent Mandarin. He enjoys park-our, biking, scooting, and cooking, and is unabashedly devoted to dogs.
