Last night I was awarded the Challenge Coin presented by a commander to veterans & non veterans / civilians for the work they have done to support and empower veterans and their families by Colonel Annette Tucker Osborne, President of The National Association of Black Military Women, Brooklyn Chapter for my role as lead male actor US Army Captain Nixon in the movie, A Sense of Purpose: Fighting For Our Lives (2019) by Jillian Bullock at the Stuart Cinema & Cafe in Brooklyn, NY . I’m truly honored to be the recipient of this award. – John J. Quinlan 4/26/2019
“I truly believe in this life if you have a vision, a goal or a dream never let anybody around you ever tell you can’t achieve what you believe you can in your heart. It’s a long journey, it is not easy but never look back on your life and have any regrets. Do your best. Wake up every day of the journey and say to yourself, I can and I will.” John Quinlan, actor 4/16/2019
After being away for a while I have just returned to acting. Director Alex Gorelik pulled me last week to play an MMA fight promoter with bad intentions in his short film ‘Faith’ (2019). This little preview clip was just released this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjzqkqNmJSg&t=22s “Success comes to those who keep at it.” Thank you and God Bless, John 4/16/2019
