John Mallory Asher is an actor, director and screenwriter best known for the comedy series Wonders of Science. Among the directorial works of Escher, it is worth noting the comedy "Diamonds" in 1999. On the set, he met his future wife Jenny McCarthy.
Acting career
John made his first screen appearance in 1990 with a cameo appearance on the teen series Beverly Hills, 90210.
The following year, young actor John Mallory Asher played in several television projects - in the melodramatic series "Married … with Children", in the haunted house horror "Inhabited", the sitcoms "Creating a Woman" and "Who's the Boss here? ". None of these projects brought John popularity. But the actor did not give up, agreeing to any role.
In 1992, he made a cameo appearance in the sitcom Step by Step.
The next few years the actor was unlucky. The films of John Mallory Asher were completely unsuccessful and had low ratings, even for television projects. However, in 1997, everything changed - John appeared in the fantasy comedy "Wonders of Science", based on the 1985 film. It is thanks to the role of Harry Wallace in this series that most moviegoers now know the actor.
In 1998, John Asher was cast as Shane Robinson in the family adventure film The New Swiss Robinson Family.
In 2000, the actor got the role of young Jerry in the drama "Space Cowboys" by Clint Eastwood. The tape became a box office hit, grossing $129 million at the box office. Escher's character received very little screen time, so this role did not add to his fame.
John Asher played in many series, but did not stay in them for more than one episode. In 2004, he appeared in the popular detective series Las Vegas. This was followed by work on the police drama NCIS, in which John played Fred Rinnert.
"C. S. I.: Crime Scene Investigation" is one of the most famous projects in Escher's filmography. The actor played the role of Zach Putrid, a character who appeared in just one episode (episode The Chick Chop Flick Shop).
One of the last works of John Mallory Asher - the drama series "October Road", closed after the second season due to low ratings.
Director's work
There have been no truly stellar projects in the directorial career of John Asher. His directorial debut was the 1996 crime thriller Kounterfeit. The tape was released in limited release and did not gain popularity.
In 1999, Asher took on the family comedy "Diamonds", on which he worked with screenwriter Aron Katz.
In 2005, John Mallory Asher directed the romantic comedy Dirty Love. The film stars Jenny McCarthy and Eddie Kaye Thomas. Critics responded negatively to the project. The tape gained notoriety, becoming one of the most disastrous films of the year - the box office was only 36 thousand dollars.
John Asher also directed several episodes of the drama series One Tree Hill.
In 2010, Asher directed the horror film "Auto Parsing".
Private life
In 1999, John married American actress Jenny McCarthy, who is known to many film fans thanks to the films "Scream 3" and "Die John Tucker!".
In 2002, the couple had a son, Evan Joseph. Already in the first years of his life, the boy was diagnosed with autism. The couple divorced in 2008.
