Originally from New Orleans, at age 19, John Scalco decided to pack his bags and head for the West Coast, where he landed in Burbank, California. He quickly found himself working on national commercials, hit television shows and major motion pictures with bit parts and Under5s, but always dreamed of bigger and better things. Scalco began focusing primarily on film and was determined to learn the ins & outs of the business, in front of and behind the camera. He got his start immediately as an intern with the legendary Freddie Fields. This exposure-coupled with Scalco's work ethic-eventually landed him his next internship with the great Sean Connery and his production company Fountain Bridge Films. Armed with a Bachelor's Degree in Theater, years of acting classes, experience working under renowned producers, and an innate passion, Scalco eventually veered into producing his own material.
