J.R. Remick(1963-2018)

Johnny 'J.R.' Remick is a Maine native, whose life has taken him, literally, from coast to coast . . . and back again. Johnny spent nearly half his life in Michigan. After graduating from Alma HS in 1981 he received his bachelor's from Adrian College in 1986 with a degree in Theater. In 1988 he attended Specs Howard Broadcasting School and began establishing himself as a voiceover talent. In 1990 he became a professional stand-up comedian/impressionist out of Detroit, until moving to Los Angeles, in 2006 to pursue an acting career. From 2007- 2017 he was a security officer at a high-rise for many Hollywood elite. He officially retired as comedian in July of 2007. After 18-years making folks laugh from the stage he continued acting in commercials and writing for (and with) some of his comedian pals. He moved back to Maine in August of 2017 to focus on writing. In 2013 he created a Facebook page entitled "Make a Right Turn for Peace," a non-partisan universal grassroots movement with the positive message of love, peace, understanding, forgiveness and humor.
