John Tolle-Barlow

John Tolle - Barlow is a 29 year old Los Angeles based Actor, by way of Eldorado Springs Missouri. Along with being classically trained in theater from Santa Barbara City College, John has also studied with Joe Palese at the Actors Space in Studio City. Having lost both his parents at the young age of 5 to drugs and alcohol, John found the Arts as a way of coping with his troubled childhood. Starting out in children's theatre at the local zoo in Santa Barbara Ca, with the educational theatre group Theatre Gone Wild, John found his passion for entertaining and his love for children. After 2 years with the group, playing characters such as Zooooperman, the group lost its funding. John then started taking theatre arts classes at SBCC that summer, where he was told he should move to LA and continue to follow his heart. He moved to LA in the summer of 2008, and really got to know the industry, attending film festivals, and mixers whenever possible. He went to Santa Monica City College, and took some more advanced theatre classes, always keeping the craft as highest priority. He attended CSUF and graduated. With a degree in information systems in 2013, this gave him the stability he needed to continue working the craft. He then found Joe Palese, a well known acting coach, by way of The Actors Space in Studio City. John found a home where he could work the craft and continue learning this beautiful Art form. John recently welcomed a new addition to his life, bringing Nelius Riley Correa-Tolle into the world on June 25th, 2014. The future is unknown, John took a break from acting to spend time with his son, after making two short films "Darkness Of The Soul" written and directed by his good friend Sam Felman, and "The Observer" written and directed by the family team "BlinkingDogProductions".
