بیوگرافی
John Potash is an actor, producer, and professional animal handler known for bringing authenticity, intensity, and practical problem-solving to every set he works on. With a growing body of work across feature films, television, and genre projects, he is frequently cast in grounded, commanding roles, while also demonstrating range across comedy, drama, and action, drawing on his real-world experience with high-risk environments and characters under pressure.
In addition to his acting career, John is the founder of Animal Talent Unleashed, a specialty company that provides trained animals and expert handlers for film, television, commercials, and photo shoots. With decades of hands-on experience working with a wide variety of domestic and exotic species, he is regularly brought onto productions to ensure scenes involving animals are executed safely, ethically, and cinematically without slowing down the shoot.
This dual background allows John to serve productions in a unique capacity: as an actor who understands set etiquette, camera work, performance, and storytelling, and as a trusted on-set professional who mitigates risk, protects cast and crew, and helps directors get the shot they want. Whether appearing in front of the camera or supporting complex animal sequences behind it, John is known for being calm under pressure, collaborative, and relentlessly prepared.
