He has over 35 years of experience working with a huge variety of animals from domesticated animals to wildlife to all manners of small and large exotic animals, specializing in reptiles and insects including venomous snakes, specifically rattlesnakes which have been featured in many films!
“My first opportunity to act on a feature film (not in an animal related capacity) was with Director Alvin Gray on Senior Cut Days. Of course, there was an awesome rattlesnake scene in that movie as well 🙂 Everything has just kind of taken off since then with many more acting opportunities as well as more opportunities to provide animals for films! My skill sets as the former President and board member of a many non-profit organizations, along with being a business owner has also really opened me to helping on the production end of films as well.” – John Potash
