iGet2Work introduces John Starr, his adorable rescue terrier Lucky, and his exciting Life-As-a-Hollywood-Extra blog ~ JOHN STARR EXTRA!
A teen Actor and Extra in the mid-1970’s (he tap danced on M*A*S*H and sat next to Travolta on “Welcome Back Kotter”) John is back doing on-camera work for the first time in 30 years! He’s also a professional Clown Magician and blows up a mean balloon animal.
He hopes his chronicle John Starr Extra and his cutest-dog-ever, Lucky, is a ticket to more SAG and AFTRA work.

And then come back here are re-read JOHN STARR EXTRA!
Awesome!!! Congratulations! I’m happy you sent that to me to watch, bc I didn’t get to see it when it aired. Niiiice reel footage 🙂
oh that’s cool!!!
congrats!!
well done.
You were great, John! I wanted you to have more lines! Very nice job.
I am so proud!! I bet they are writing a permanent part for you as we speak. You knocked that out of the ballpark.
Very nice job!
I was particularly impressed with what you did NOT do-wave your hands around like the other lawyer with all the lines. What was up with that? He was like a windmill.
You’re the best!!
Thank you guys for watching! It was a blast to shoot!
I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. I liked the dirty look you threw at her as you left. :)…
Congratulations, My Friend! I need to get myself a DVR so I can record your fabulousness!
Great Job John, If I ever get in a pickle, I will call for your legal services!
You’re next line should have been “Shut up bitch”
You go boy!!! I wish I had a TV….
Laurie – Too true!
How totally awesome for you!
Very cool! I love checking this link!
Can I make a deal so that I can be your date at the Emmys???
We, Hannah, my mom and I all saw it. You were great, loved the suit and the briefcase!

Great job, John! I love the way you briefly stroke your client’s back as you make your exit. Clearly you guys were headed for an intimate client-attorney conference out in the corridor.
I particularly liked the emphasis on “This is NOT helping my client.” As opposed to other interpretations of the deeper meaning of the line such as “This is not HELPING my client”, or even the Uta Hagenesque “THIS…..is not helping my client.” Olivier eat your heart out!
Smart delivery John, and smart with the attire too!
Fabulous! You look and sound great.

Imagine me coming home from work, sitting down to strip away the day’s remnants of S.F.’s “concrete jungle” and playing the recent recording of The Young And The Restless to catch up on the next episode of dysfunctional wealthy family madness. As Abby and Carmine face the legal heat from their immature, ridiculous antics—and she all but tosses him under the bus—in walks Carmine’s Public Defender who is none other than Mr. Starr! What a fabulous surprise! I called Tom in and replayed your entire scene time. You look great! Now I know Carmine will get the true “justice” he deserves (smile).
Big surprise to see you on my favorite show Weeds last night as a stoned patient eating cookies. Munchies rule!
What can I say, u brought tears 2 my eyes.
FUN! You look great!
Perry Mason I presume…
Everyone should please feel free to use my new catch phrase …
“This is not helping my client!”
Congrats!
Excellent!
Great job, John. Glad you’re keeping busy!
We screamed watching your clip on Y &R. Our new expression: “This isn’t helping my client.”
Darling John, I am so thrilled to see you in the story!!!! You were, of course, FABULOUS, and I am just tickled to see you do such a dynamite job on such a well established show. I salute you, and your career. Thanks so much for sending this along. I hope it is the first of many!!! Love, Annaliz.
You are looking great!
So THRILLING!!!! Great job!!! Congratulations!!!!!
Congrats mr Star n keep ROCKIN
LOVED your Y&R clips! You were great! So happy for you!
Ain’t you the one. Nice to see AND HEAR you.
Nice to hear your dulcet tones again.
Very smart too!!
So I’ve finally seen some Y&R! It looks very tawdry with only the bald guy playing the PD acquitting himself in the daytime drama.
1.) Thank you!
2.) How dare you!
Nice job John! Congratulations!
Enjoyed watching this little clip during my lunch break 🙂 Good job.
You were great on the Young and the Restless.
Yeah John! Good job!
Thanks for the link.
Saw you last week as a juror on Franklin and Bash!
You know I follow you in all ways. Your latest two line triumph shows a deep commitment to the legal system, while exposing a repressed wilder side. I got what you were going for.
Not sure the camera was placed correctly for your “du nu mont” but for those of us with an eye, it was all there anyway. Film scholars get it This particular performance will never be repeated.
My taped program ran out yesterday, and what was on regular tv, but 2 broke girls! It was the episode about buying a cake mix, or something. I couldn’t concentrate on the plot, because of the extraordinarily handsome man in the background. He looked so annoyed. It reminded me of the handsome but annoyed lawyer in another show I saw recently. 🙂
saw you on cbs this morning. you are a scary ass clown!
They repeated the CBS Sunday segment today! You were as good the second time if not better!!!
Yes. CBS kindly told me it was repeating. Thanks for the notes & texts.
John
