John Devereaux(III)
- Actor
Born in Houston, Texas, John Devereaux, discovered performance at the
age of 14 after being persuaded to be in a play most of his close
friends were in. From that production stemmed the passion of acting,
singing, and entertainment. While in Texas, John was fortunate enough
to work in a number of commercials including a national Wheel of
Fortune spot. He was even able to get a taste of reality television at
his alma mater's show "Top Grad". While in college, for his summer
breaks, John had the opportunity to travel to Idaho to be at Coeur
d'Alene Summer Theatre (named one of the top 10 places to see the
lights off-broadway by USA Today) to perform in the first all black
cast in the theater's history in "Once On This Island" as Agwe. John
was invited back to CST the following summer to perform the iconic role
of Coalhouse Walker, Jr. in the musical epic, "Ragtime". With the
gathering momentum from "Ragtime" and receiving his BA in Theatre from
Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, John relocated to Los
Angeles where he now resides continuing to pursue his passion in
acting. His film credits include The Darq (2011), Be My Teacher (2011),
and Zephyr Springs (2013) to name a few. When not working, John enjoys
writing original spoken word pieces, working out, and thrifting.
