John Walker holds a Ph.D. in Instructional Leadership from UA and serves as the Coordinator of Testing for Tuscaloosa City Schools. In 2019, Dr. Walker was inducted into the Theatre Tuscaloosa All-Star Cast for his award-winning performances as "Leo Bloom" (The Producers), "Younger Brother" (Ragtime 2017), and "Teen Angel" (Grease). Additional TT favorites include "Harry Bright" (Mamma Mia!) and "Lord Evelyn Oakleigh" (Anything Goes). He is grateful to mentor and director Ray Taylor, who last portrayed the role of Mortimer for TT, for trusting him with the opportunity to step into a character he holds especially dear. “Love and thanks to Mom/Dad, Steven, RGM, and the DadSquad!
