Jon Bon Jovi

Jon Bon Jovi is one of the busiest and most versatile performers working today. Between juggling his music and acting careers, the dedicated artist consistently delivers quality performances whether it be on the stage with a guitar or in front of the camera as an actor.

His film career began in 1995 with his critically-acclaimed performance in Moonlight And Valentino. The Motion Picture Club honored him with the prestigious Premiere Performance Award for his impressive acting debut. He has gone on to star in John Duigan's The Leading Man, Homegrown and No Looking Back with Ed Burns and Lauren Holly.
