Jon Vellante (He/Him) - Actor

Somehow you ended up here, so thanks for visiting. I'm a Boston-based actor who graduated BU in 2016 with a BFA in acting. I'm a proud member of Actor's Equity and SAG-AFTRA with representation from the Maggie Agency. Ever since I was in sixth grade and played the role of Turkey (based on Rooster) in a definitely illegal spin-off of Annie called "Frannie", I've wanted to do this for a living.
"Keep forgetting what you know". That's my artistic statement in a nutshell. Good storytelling is simultaneously entertaining while also pushing us out of our comfort zones (I'm a sucker for some Catharsis). My hope is to promote equity and empathy in creative spaces. This includes recognizing my own privilege in any project or room.
