Jack Firestone was raised in Long Island, New York, and was trained in Meisner Technique at HB Studios in NYC, and by famed Los Angeles actor/teacher Jeff Corey in LA. He has appeared on the regional, and Off-Broadway stages, in dozens of plays, as well as numerous TV commercials, and has been a card-carrying SAG-AFTRA member since the late 1970's. He appeared in many Norman Lear sitcoms, including All In The Family and Good Times, to name a few.He had taken a hiatus from "show business" to work the "business of shows," where, as a member of the sales staff of legendary television program distributor Firestone Programs -- owned by his late father, TV program sales pioneer Leonard Firestone -- he sold perennial hit shows into the TV syndication marketplace, including Chuck Barris' The Gong Show & The New Newlywed Game (in which he worked as a Contestant Coordinator), Allen Funt's The New Candid Camera (in which he acted as a recurring "shill"), and Garry Moore's To Tell The Truth (in which he was, in one episode, one of the two "imposter" contestants.)He is happily married for over 30 years to Robin, and they now reside near the booming Atlanta market, where he is reviving his acting career. To date, though, they have produced their best work of art yet: an only child -- a son -- who is newly-married, is an MD, and is a soon-to-be father of twins. Hide
