John O'HurleyJohn O'Hurley
Actor

One of People magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive," John O'Hurley has become one of television's busiest and most versatile actors, show hosts, advertising heroes, and feature film stars. The award-winning actor is best known as "J. Peterman" on "Seinfeld," which is now the #1 syndicated series in the world in 85 countries and he has danced his way into the hearts of America as the ultimate champion of the highly rated ABC show "Dancing with the Stars." After hosting the hugely successful popular syndicated show "Family Feud," he returned to the stage this Summer to star in front of sold out audiences on Broadway in Chicago as the male lead "Billy Flynn." O'Hurley also headlined a two-year stint as the head of the Round Table, King Arthur, in Eric Idle's hilarious musical comedy "Monty Python's Spamalot in Las Vegas. As a follow-up to his Billboard chart topping CD Peace of Our Minds (which was the first independently produced CD to ever reach #13 on the Billboard Music charts), O'Hurley released Secrets from the Lake, a collaboration of his piano compositions with cellist Marston Smith. It is available on his website www.johnohurley.com and at CDBaby.com. O'Hurley has written 2 books including his New York Times Bestseller called It's OK to Miss the Bed on the First Jump: And Other Life Lessons Learned from Dogs.

O'Hurley's unique portrayal of the wry and witty "J. Peterman" has led to dozens of advertising campaigns for companies such as Xerox, M & M's, Progressive Insurance and The Travel Channel, earning him multiple advertising and marketing industry awards. O'Hurley also won a Screen Actors Guild Award for "Best Ensemble" for his work on "Seinfeld." After a two-year stint hosting "To Tell The Truth" and a three-year stint hosting USA network's "Get Golf with the PGA Tour", O'Hurley is now the regular host of NBC's annual "National Dog Show presented by Purina," a Thanksgiving tradition to 21 million viewers.

John lends his voice to several of America's most popular cartoons. He is currently playing "King Neptune" in "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Captain Star Johnson" in "Duck Dodgers," "King Wallace II" in "Kim Possible" and will soon begin work as the narrator on Nickelodeon's new cartoon "Captain Itch." Previously, John has worked on "What's New, Scooby Doo?", "Lloyd in Space" and "Family Guy."

Outside of the entertainment industry, O'Hurley is an entrepreneur and Renaissance man. Life truly imitates art for him, as he is the real John Peterman's business partner and part owner of the J. Peterman Company! He is also currently principal partner for two venture capital companies-Round One Investments, in Los Angeles, and Heritage Capital Investments, in Atlanta, GA-as well as Energy Inc., a company dedicated to facilitating clean, green energy production.

When not performing, John maintains his single digit gold handicap by playing on the Celebrity Players Tour, as well as in other key events like the BMW Charity Celebrity Pro-Am and the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Additionally, he lends his name and golf game to help charities close to his heart, especially Golfers Against Cancer and Child Development Institute. O'Hurley enjoys spending his free time with his wife Lisa and their young son William Dylan. Together they love to play golf, travel, play with their dogs, cheer for the Boston Red Sox, and entertain friends at their Beverly Hills home.
