- Actor
John James Cronin is an American Actor born and based in New York City.
His Acting Career began at age 6 - in March, 2017 - when he was featured in a Meir Kay Online Video - "Eating Twinkies With God" - which became a viral sensation that now has over 150+ Million Views on Facebook alone.
Since May 2017, John James has appeared in Feature Films, TV Series, Commercials and Web Series.
In that short period of time, John James has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to act in a number of different roles in several different genres of Film and TV.
In December, 2018, John James made his Feature Film debut playing the role of "Otto" in the Romantic Comedy "Second Act", which Starred Jennifer Lopez, Leah Remini and Milo Ventimiglia.
In "Second Act" John James played a 7-year-old boy who provides comic relief by mimicking and repeating in public what his "Mom" - Leah Remini - says in private. John James also had a Kitchen Dance Party Solo with JLo set to the iconic Salt'nPepa Song "Push It".
In November, 2019, John James had a challenging and thought-provoking role as "Jonathan Fletcher" - a nonverbal, 7-year-old autistic boy - in the HBO Limited Series, "Mrs. Fletcher", Starring Kathryn Hahn. Without saying a word, John James had a dramatic impact on the Series.
In June, 2020, John James was a Recurring Guest Star in Season 2 of the AMC Series "NOS4A2". This Series is based on the book written by Joe Hill (who is Stephen King's Son).
In NOS4A2, John James played "Mike Demeter" a neglected, vulnerable and bullied Boy who is abducted in this Supernatural Horror Thriller, Starring Zachary Quinto.
In October, 2020, John James finished filming his First Lead Role in a Feature Film, a Horror Thriller entitled "We Need to Do Something". This Film is coming from the Producers of "Bird Box" and the "Saw" Series.
In this Film, John James plays the Role of "Bobby Crandell," the Youngest Member of the Crandell Family.
While seeking shelter from a storm, "Bobby", along with his Mom (Vinessa Shaw), Dad (Pat Healy) and Older Sister (Sierra McCormick) all become trapped inside their home bathroom. Hours turn into days, with no hope of rescue, until the real reasons for their plight emerge.
The Role of Bobby Crandell was both personally rewarding and professionally challenging for John James. In this Lead Role, John James appeared in 27 of the 38 total scenes, with 105 lines of dialogue.
On a personal level, John James was able to Act alongside Ozzy Osbourne in his very last Feature Film Scene - which provided a BIG "Jump Scare" - in "We Need To Do Something".
"We Need to Do Something" had its Worldwide Premiere at the Tribeca Festival in New York City in June, 2021. It was then Released in Theaters and on Streaming Services in September, 2021.
After the COVID Pandemic and the SAG AFTRA Strike, John James had the Opportunity to display his Episodic TV Skills - in both a Dramatic and Comedic ways - in 3 TV Shows:
In the Opening Scene of Episode #418 of the CBS TV Series "Bull", John James plays an annoyingly persistent Son who lovingly pesters his Mom before they both perish in a train crash.
In Episode #114 of the Nickelodeon Series "The Really Loud House", John James plays the Role of "Wainwright", a snarky, arrogant and pompous Leader of the BETR Honors Class at School.
In Episode #301 of the Netflix Series "Girls5Eva", John James plays the Role of "Tyler" a wise beyond his years teen age Son who is trying to motivate his underachieving Dad, who is given some moral support from "Wickie Roy" (Renee Elise Goldsberry).
John James has been very fortunate to have had this wide range of Acting Experiences at such a Young Age.
In a few short years, John James has gone from "Eating Twinkies With God" to dancing with JLo in "Second Act" to sharing a "Jump Scare" with "The Prince of Darkness" himself - Ozzy Osbourne.
Not too many Young Actors can say all that.
That's why John James is looking forward to continue to develop his Dramatic and Comedic Acting Skills and Resume even further.
