John Corbett is an American actor, singer and composer, born on May 9, 1961 in Wheeling, West Virginia.
After graduating from Wheeling Central Catholic High School, John went to California, where he worked as a steelmaker. However, heavy physical work was beyond the strength of even such a strongman and giant as Corbett (his height is 196 cm) and after six years of heavy physical exertion, John Corbett left the plant, earning at this enterprise for three years only a serious back injury.
John enrolled in California College, choosing a drama class for himself, where an old friend taught. While studying at college, John repeatedly received invitations to participate in productions, plays, where he gladly showed his talent, which was noticed and highly appreciated by directors. The college professors managed to convince John that he had an acting talent that needed to be developed, and he could achieve great success in this field. Having believed in the words of teachers, Corbett went to conquer Hollywood.
