John grew up in Jamaica, Queens and went on to play middle linebacker for Bucknell University's football team. After graduating with a fine arts degree, John headed to New York University's drama school. He pursued postgraduate work in stagecraft, leaving to build and paint scenery at off-Broadway's Hudson Guild Theater, before entering architectural school at Cooper Union.
John, however, could not ignore his dream of acting, and
Daytime fans remember John from his previous roles as Gabe McNamara on Another World and Phillip Spaulding on Guiding Light. He also starred in the primetime series, Everything's Relative, with Jason Alexander, and guest starred on shows such as NYPD Blue and New York Undercover, as well as the Lifetime television movie, Almost Golden: The Jessica Savich Story.
John is married to Christine Radman, who is an actress and singer as well as a lawyer. The couple resides in a suburb of Manhattan with their three children, Maria, Laura and John Michael.
First wanted to point out that, even though it is very confusing, John is no longer on "One Life to Live". There is a new character named John, who also happens to be a detective (why would they do such a thing?!) but he is played by Michael Easton not John Bolger to my great disappointment. On the main page for John Bolger it says that he last aired on OLTL in June, 2005 but that was John McBain, not John Sykes. John Sykes and Rae Cummings (played by John Bolger & Linda Dano) were the best soap couple I've ever seen and I wish so much they wouldn't have ended! John Bolger is a gorgeous, sweet, tender, talented man and I sure hope he gets some good opportunities in the future! I'd love for him to grace my television again soon! The Viagra commercials were good but I'd like a little more!
