  • Electronic Media Kit
    Electronic Media Kit JON LINDSTROM Actor I Writer I Producer I Director Born and raised in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, Emmy nominated actor, Jon Lindstrom developed a love for acting and music at an early age. He took that passion to the University of Oregon theater and music schools. Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles, where he studied with some of the most prominent acting teachers of the day, including Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Jeff Corey and the teacher he credits with influencing him the most, Bob McAndrew. Jon has since created the kind of diversified entertainment career that one can only define as a “multi-hyphenate.” An actor, writer, director, producer and musician, he has seen great success in every one of his artistic pursuits. In late 2008, over dozens of candidates, Jon was offered the pivotal “tent-pole” character of Craig Montgomery on CBS-TV’s long-established hit daytime drama, “As The World Turns.” The character of Craig, with its long and colorful history, is considered one of the best men-you- love-to-hate roles in the history of TV soaps. In 2010, Jon received an Emmy nomination as Lead Actor In a Drama Series for his portrayal of Craig. Recent years have been packed with diverse projects in television, film and shorts. Jon worked on the tele-films “Ice Dreams” for the Hallmark Channel with director David Burton Morris, and Lifetime TV’s “While the Children Sleep” with director Russell Mulcahy. The indie “The Double Born” followed, for writer/director Tony Randel (based on a Bram Stoker short story, it’s a dark, claustrophobic tale of loss and murder, the film also marks the return of acclaimed English actress, Sammi Davis).
