“Dreamers rarely rule the world…but they can change it.” This is something I have coined and have always believed. Now in my 70’s I am still a dreamer.My name is Jack Kearney. I am a writer and former actor whose remarkable career spans decades of artistic pursuit, resilience, and reinvention. I am proud to say I was a member of the inaugural graduating class of the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles, and went on to appear in iconic television series including *M*A*S*H*, WKRP in Cincinnati, and General Hospital, building a foundation in performance that would later inform my powerful storytelling.

Like the protagonist in my novel, I have balanced my artistic ambitions with the reality of survival jobs. Through it all, I continued writing, crafting my own audition monologues and developing script treatments. My novel, Inside Out, began as a screenplay, my personal “Rocky,” I live in Northern California, I have a daughter, 40. who lives in New Jersey.
