Who is John Stamos?

John Phillip Stamos is an actor cum musician who is a major television celebrity in the U.S. with shows like ‘Full House’ and ‘General Hospital’ under his belt.

As a teenager he used to work in his parents’ fast food restaurant and also used to play drums in his school’s marching band. He was just 15 when he announced to his parents his intentions of pursuing a career in acting and music which they fully supported. The young man got his first break when he was cast as Blackie in the soap opera ‘General Hospital’. He was much loved in this role and this paved the way for more substantial television and movie roles in future. His portrayal of Jesse Katsopolis on the ABC sitcom Full House made him an overnight heartthrob and established his reputation as a major television star. Along with acting, he branched into the musical theatre making his Broadway debut as an emcee in 1995.
