JP's journey in the entertainment industry began with a breakthrough Off-Off-Broadway performance, leading to a starring role in his first feature film, Trick, as Mark, a go-go boy. This indie film garnered a Grand Jury Prize nomination at the Sundance Film Festival and has since become a cult classic, available on the Criterion Channel.
Throughout his career, JP has appeared in numerous television shows, including a two-season stint on HBO's acclaimed drama, Six Feet Under, where he played Phil, the cremator. The second season of this show won the prestigious SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a TV Drama. More recently, JP has been seen as a drug lord on ABC's The Rookie.
JP has also made a significant impact in the world of voice overs, having narrated hundreds of hours for MTV and VH1 series. His voice has been heard selling products on TV commercial voice overs, persuading audiences to purchase items they never knew they wanted.
In addition to his on-screen work, JP has shared his expertise by teaching acting and voice to BFA/MFA students. He has also returned to the stage, most notably as Tom in The Glass Menagerie, for the 30th Annual Tennessee Williams Festival.
