From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Gegenhuber was born in Palatine, Illinois and began acting in 1986 on the series Under the Biltmore Clock. He has stared in several series, as well as appeared as a guest or reoccurring character on numerous shows, including Seinfeld (1993), Murphy Brown (1994), Star Trek: Voyager (1995-1996), and Seven Days (1999). He was one of the stars of the show Earth 2 (1994-1995). He also appeared in the movies Straight Talk (1992) and Rookie of the Year (1993).
In 2006, Gegenhuber directed and starred in "The Perverts", a television show that is "a wholesome, kinky, rough-and-tumble, no-holes-barred, knock-down-drag-out comedy about the crazy, inexplicable sh*t we do for love. It's the cleanest, dirtiest show on TV!" The pilot was entered in the 2006 Independent Television Festival where Gegenhuber won the Best Directing Award.
Gegenhuber received his BFA in Acting from the Goodman School of Drama in Chicago (now The Theatre School at DePaul University). He also holds a degree in Graphic Arts (drawing, painting, and sculpture) and is a Le Cordon Bleu Chef. Gegenhuber is an accomplished puppeteer. He is married to actress and make-up artist Marie Del Prete.
