John&#;s behind-the-scenes recollections of the experience:

What were you doing professionally prior to Footloose?

Before my acting career took off, I worked every part-time job professionally you could imagine, and was also fired from each one as well.

I was fortunate enough to work on the series White Shadow which then led to me being in the movie An Officer and a Gentleman, and then, of course, Footloose.

What&#;s an example of a part-time job you had in the early days?

I&#;m pretty sure I hit every part-time job at the time: bank teller, bartender, waiter, construction, etc., and I pretty much hated all of them.

(laughs)

Why were you fired so much?

I think it was because I was so easy to get along with.

How did you get the role in Footloose?

I auditioned for the director Herbert Ross.
