Biography

Johnathon Schaech burst onto the Hollywood scene as one of the most dashing leading men of his generation in Jocelyn Moorhouse's critically acclaimed How to Make an American Quilt (1995) and Tom Hanks' directorial debut, the nostalgic That Thing You Do! (1996). Since then, he has consistently demonstrated his remarkable versatility as an actor, taking on a wide range of roles in over one hundred and sixty Hollywood productions over the past twenty years.

Throughout his illustrious career, Johnathon has had the privilege of working alongside some of the most talented and acclaimed individuals in the industry, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kenneth Branagh, Ed Harris, Idris Elba, Antonio Banderas, Bruce Willis, Tom Fontana, Gary Goetzman, Neil Moritz, Greg Araki, Cary Brokaw, Roy Lee, Jessica Lange, and Bill Paxton, to name just a few.

In recent years, Johnathon has made a significant impact on television, captivating audiences with his portrayal of the eccentric movie-star in Showtime's hit series Ray Donovan (2014) and bringing comic-book legend Jonah Hex to life in the first three seasons of DC's Legends (2015-2018). As he has aged into a ruggedly handsome man, he has become one of Hollywood's go-to stars for action roles, starring in a string of high-octane films including Renny Harlin's 5 Days of War (2014),Todd Robinson's Phantom (2015),Roland Joffe's Texas Rising (2016),Steven C. Miller's Marauders (2017),and the upcoming Reprisal (2018),opposite Frank Grillo.

In addition to his professional pursuits, Johnathon is deeply committed to using his national voice for dyslexia, working with the Harvard University-accredited nonprofit NoticeAbility.org to help students with the brain-based difference identify their unique strengths and build their self-esteem. Johnathon is also a devoted father to his four-year-old son, Camden, whom he shares with his wife of five years, internet influencer Julie Solomon.
