About me:
Yes, there's a good chance I was in your company's safety, sales, or sexual harassment training video. I'm a San Francisco-based actor who has done his fair share of industrial films.

My face may be familiar to Bay Area fans of improv and sketch comedy thanks to my work as a member of some of the area's favorite performing groups: BATS Improv, True Fiction Magazine, and Killing My Lobster.

I'm a member of the Main Stage Company at BATS Improv, where I perform year-round. I am also a writer and performer with sketch comedy troupe Killing My Lobster. I appeared in the successful three-month run of the lobster's full-length world premiere play, Hunter Gatherers. (Named one of the top 10 theater events of 2006 by the San Francisco Chronicle and recently named the best new American play of 2006 by the American Theatre Critics Association.)

I can be seen on screen with Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness, which is now on DVD, plus the independent feature films Security and Charlie the Ox. You can also catch me in the occasional commercial.

And to answer the most commonly asked question, it's pronounced CO-VACK-UH-VICH.

Now admit it...you really want to learn more by visiting www.JohnKovacevich.com.

It's super.
Except she's run off to Nashville to hang with Bobby Brown. What can I say? She has a history of pursuing troubled relationships.

John, you just became even more sexier by wanting to be friends with Fayard and Harold Nicholas. I have collected a montage of all of their tap numbers. One day: Big screen. Stormy Weather. My place. -s

Thank you for helping the children... I, for one, believe they are our future, I like to let them lead the way and show them all the beauty they possess inside (in a non-creepy way), give them a sense of pride(in a semi-creepy way)

Bear Force One: So lame because it's incredibly gay or so gay because it's incredibly lame?

I'm grateful every day that we both quit BFO, John. I have to say though, it seemed like you had more hair back then...

The purest, most life affirming joy I've experienced in some time is the knowledge that I'm done teaching future scientists (forever).
Makes me smile.

where are you? come back to us. i miss you. nobody is taunting our vajayjays or making crude sperm jokes in our general direction - we are having to do it to ourselves and that just ain't civilized.

A wise woman once gave me a great improv tip: "BEEEE FUUUUNNAAAY! *hack cough yak*" Ahhh, words to live by. Hope it is a fun show tonight and you follow that sage wisdom.
Laura





Apr 30 2007 5:55 AM

Thanks for the Spontaneous Broadway fun. I don't know how you'll beat "Shut up and hit me!" and "Taco Shack." Have fun on the 5th without me, I'll be with my high school kids while they're performing improv. Yeah. Woo hoo!

You may not have expected me to live this long, but I never expected you to break out the young and sexy photograph.
Do you ever watch Dateline's To Catch a Predator? I like to open a can of Pringle's or two and a six pack of Shasta and partake on a Tuesday night.
Maybe you could come over and I could give you some 'parental guidance'?
